I started learning Japanese recently but i feel hyper stressed when i watch my amines now. I feel like i'm wasting time instead of learning Japanese? Anyone felt the same when the started?

>>121514take it at your own pace. you don't need to do everything at once
No.121686
>>121514I felt like that at one point. Though I'm lazy by nature and hate putting things off so I justify still watching stuff through the reasoning that if I try and hear the anime before using the subs then I'm still somewhat learning. I know the grammar pretty well so it mostly just comes down to words I don't know and after ~200 days of Anki I have a good solid foundation of words.

>>123913They were with Japanese, yes. Whisper can be used to transcribe most languages, but at least with the auto subtitle script I use, it just translates to English. I believe I had mentioned it in that now deleted /secret/ post, but translation can be rather iffy. Sometimes it decides to produce romaji, sometimes it hallucinates and entire sections are missing or timestamps offset, and other times it persists with an incorrect translation like "Oni-san". In general, transcription is much more reliable, but it has a tendency to sometimes write things phonetically with hiragana instead of kanji. I would say that the results are mostly acceptable. The example I uploaded to MEGA is still there for you to view for yourself if you're doubtful of what sort of results it can produce.

>>124203From my understanding getting to know a dictionary is probably the quickest way outside of OCR. But the amount of time you'd spend learning how to use the dictionary would be probably proportional to how long it'd take you to just follow

>>124203>What is the fastest way to look up kanji without an OCR?At least for manga I got a habit of drawing them to look them up, doesn't take that long to draw a kanji anyways. I feel like it reinforces what it looks like to me and I can do this from my phone when travelling as well. Maybe not necessarily the most effective way as I've never tried OCR, but I can do it on public transport commute with ease which is better than not doing it at all. I also bookmark the kanji and vocabulary to import to anki via yomitan when I get home.
No.124208
>>124203I use this website occasionally for kanji look up, you've got various methods to search by. Not really fast, but faster than trying to draw it with a mouse.

It's a funny way to write /qa/ spirit, a phono-semantic matching of it with eternity flipped around, pronounced kyuuei. Energy/spirit of kyuuei, /qa/ spirit.

>>132359It definitely could've been more accurate, as the original Japanese spirit uses 魂/tamashii and not 気. You could even say it's straight-up wrong, I don't remember why I went with that in the first place.
>>132370There do exist some pairs of real words composed of the same characters flipped around, like 栄光 and 光栄, and they're by no means the opposite of each other (which makes them trickier to memorize).

https://jpdb.io/I haven't used it for SRS or anything like that, but it has info about difficulty, unique words, kanji. It also has entire lists of words to practice, but I think it's fine to just grind out a popular 2K deck, familiarize yourself with some basic N5 and N4 grammar concepts and start reading anyways with help from textractor to quick lookup and mine to anki. Doesn't matter if one doesn't understand everything, practice will help immensely regardless.

>>140924but learning kanji is fun! I didn't even plan to learn Japanese, I was also too intimidated by the writing system. I just wanted to know a little of the basics like their phonetic alphabets and then numbers and what is a male and female bathroom door in Japan because that one is pretty useful, and it just kinda snowballed from there because it was fun to learn.
With a memory program like Anki you can make it into a memory game. Tons of decks to help learning hiragana/katakana and some basic kanji and core vocabulary (kaishi 1.5k is good, but the kanji will be a bit difficult to differentiate in the beginning I think. There's also a radical deck for the kaishi deck can use to help with that).
It is difficult in the beginning not going to lie, but it somehow gets easier instead of more difficult. You build a sixth sense for what's what. Learning new words gets easier over time. I started super slow and just kinda went faster over time.
