*gets ready to go down to the library for a dictionary*
*remembers the library is shut for the day*
Let's see what dictionaries I can get on the internet.
It is the more useful dictionary I've found. The only thing is that you have to install it, but you want to learn, right? I recommend looking for the kanjis you get in your lesson for stroke order, components (for easy learning) and other usses for the same kanji. Speaking of lessons, you should take, for example, 3 little lessons a week, instead of a big one (a week). It helps more for remembering and usage.Originally Posted by Reynel
Well, it depends. For example, in my case, I used to learn them in order, and when I was learning the h-row, I had forgotten the t-row. It might be because I have a horrible memory unless it is for useless things (like Pokemon dialogs!). So I used my useless memory for something actually useful. Since I knew the dialog (and some super basic overall lesson on particles) I actually learned some vocabulary and grammar.
hmm i find that constantly drawing the same kanji over and over by writing words using said kanji is the easiest way to go. learn to read/write the things while expanding vocab a bit.
i also found heisig's stuff to be more or less useless although tae kims guide was excellent for grammar and particles and anki was good for review.
What's the difference between kaminari and ikazuchi? Both are written 雷.
Summarized: different pronunciations with different etymologies that developed before kanji was imported into Japan; as they both referred to the same thing, they got assigned the same kanji. Longer version here. You can also, you know, look it up from dictionaries and stuff, but I thought this person explained it pretty well.
Nowadays it's more or less a fancier way of saying kaminari; you'd probably see ikazuchi used more in fantasy fiction and the like, rather than daily conversation.
Stealing this thread.
So for the last few months I have been learning rosetta stone and probably could manage a conversation like a 2 year old (seriously, when they say you will learn like a baby does, they also mean you start speaking in what I fully understand recognize in myself a major case of baby talk.)
still, being able to possibly hold a conversation with a two year old is better then I was a few months ago. anyway, progress is ok, if slow, but pure constant study gets exhausting and I was wondering if there are any recommendations on shows to watch/books to read for practice for the burgeoning three year old for times where I don't have time or energy for another hour session.
be a bitch and download Genki
then you can bump up to 6th grade gaijin

are you refering to http://www.genkienglish.net/genkijapan/menu.htm by any chance? I actually was messing around his site earlier and downloaded the free ebook, but it was less informative then I hoped for the theoretical price tag of 20 bucks. some of it was moderately useful though.
I've found japaneseclass.jp to be a pretty good site to learn.
oh that looks kinda fun, ill try that, thanks.
you can pirate 1 and 2 so easy
and come out with awful gaijin very basic jp

Wish I could help you there, but the only shows I can recommend are shows basically tailored to teaching kids. And that won't quite solve your problem, especially since you'd likely have to use subtitles, which just defeats the purpose.
Not if they're Japanese subtitles.
But... if you can't read Japanese in the first place.... :<
It's an anime forum. We all read Japanese.
Aggro you have to go. I'm sorry.
Pls go.
??? I don't get it
Pls. :<
