N0 For what it's worth you will probably want to use the hiragana readings for some terms >I want to be anonymous on the rest of Yas Forums But why would you want to visit/post there :~)
like ascii.jp/elem/000/004/010/4010369/ >興味深いことに、英国国防省は従業員にこのアプリの使用を禁止しています 私の職場のテレワークはskypeを使っています。 >I think it's N3? or you'd be that after finishing the series. There used to be some pirate translation sites listing that one but it seems all of them were suddenly eradicated.
just spent 25 minutes getting frusturated trying to read vertical japanese text only to realize i was reading it in the wrong direction

>if you have to look up every word, or even every third word? when you start to get into reading, you will most likely not be able to avoid this anyway. but it will still be helpful if you keep going
Joseph Lee
okay I see, kind of figured that much

I will do 2k/6k for 1 or 2 months and get 1000 vocabulary or so before because I am at about 100. I like asking questions for the future though so I don't panic when I get there heh....
Is there any program to look up the words fast if it's a PDF manga?
I've seen some OCR stuff in general but I never used them.
Jack Adams
>get 1000 vocabulary or so before you can try to start earlier than 1000 words though. it will be a pain either way, but you might be able to pick up a couple new words on the way and also learn how recognize/apply grammar rules that you have read about
>Is there any program to look up the words fast if it's a PDF manga? personally I use JGlossator. you can combine it with OCR like Capture2Text. not sure if it's the best, but it works reasonably well

How much time do you guys devote to listening? I just like reading a lot more so I don't get enough listening practice. I've been trying to watch some slice of life anime without subs to catch my listening up.
I listen to jpod101 in the car and casually watch some japanese subbed anime
Logan Collins
I listen to sokoani.com/ and hibiki-radio.jp/description/priconne_re/ I also watch Anime but often with Japanese subtitles if available. And I also still rip the audio from Anime I've been watching and put it on my phone to listen to it for at least 20-30 minutes every day before I fall asleep.
I'd recommend watching some reality tv with modern Japanese and mimicking sentences while watching it. Helps a ton with acquiring vocab and mastering grammar desu,
Terrace House is pretty good for that.
It has a lot of the kind of Japanese you'd hear on the streets talking to your peers if you're under 40.
>mimicking sentences while watching it. Helps a ton with acquiring vocab and mastering grammar does that actually work? i see how it would improve your pronunciation, but grammar and vocab? hmmmm
Brody Morgan
>improve your pronunciation My opinion is the other way around. Speaking it loud would soak grammar rules into your brain and maybe vocabulary as well, but as for pronunciation... I hope so.
