You've learned 1k of the most freq words, looked at anime with subtitlws and it made no sense? I've learned the 200 and something most freq words in a new language and when I look at subs at least I yet the gist of what they're talking about due to the few vocabulary that shows up and what's happening on the screen

Coming back to this, I somewhat disagree with some things here. I think it is way too easy to over emphasise tolerating ambiguity and going for interest over level. I just went with what interested me, and after three years of intense immersion, including living in Japan for over a year, I am not at a particularly high level, maybe early intermediate. I am now choosing my core content based on level, and feel like I am actually getting something out of it. I treat difficult things as something more for fun than actual language learning. It is so massively inefficient to be primarily immersing with below 80% comprehension content that I can’t in good faith recommend doing it unless you are fine with it taking many times longer to achieve proficiency. Something mildly interesting/entertaining at 90% comprehension will beat out something extremely interesting at 50% comprehension every time. As for burning out, I burned out on interesting content because of the frustratingly slow pace at which I was learning

For some reason when I hit the quickadd key, there is no image with the file.　Even though the fields match.

The first par where you just scrolled through the r/japanese subreddit and going "ok thats a lot damn" is pretty much the exact same thing I did with german..but for 5 months instead of 3 :(

can you explain more how did you immerse like what did you do? (did you watch anime with japanese subtitles and all of that stuff, or something else?)

thanks man i will use your recommendations

Can I get the suisei wallpaper? Thanks btw

I'm using Tatsumoto guide and I like it. It's based on the AJATT methodology (it's similar to TheMoeWay I think) The key is to stick to a guide and be consistent in your study

Thanks so much for making this video. I started sentence mining around a half year ago with this tutorial, and since then my vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension has greatly improved! I especially love how clean the card templates look and how easy it is to generate them.

Fun fact after all this hustling right now i am doing this, now i can understand and it’s keeping me motivated ( I hope this video should have 1 million views)

I can read VNs/LNs and mine/learn all day. Idk how you guys can stand doing it with anime though. But then again, my whole purpose for learning Japanese is reading so that's probably it.

I've been at a low point a little while ago and am still trying to climb over it but what you said about finding something you enjoy watching even with low comprehension is something I've realized too during this phase I'm experiencing. Since my low point where I felt like I'm getting no where and that I should start doing something like sentence mining and forcing myself to immerse more even when I don't like it I've gone ahead and watched nichijou which was absolutely a blast, rewatched tokyo ghoul because I've been listening to the unravel cover by ado for a while now and I hadn't rewatched that anime in 6 years, and then I started watching asobi asobase and proceeded to finishi 7 episodes in one afternoon which was a big motivational boost. Now I know the issue is I'm not looking hard enough for content to enjoy, and that my comprehension can be fairly good at times. TH-cam is still a big wall to climb, searching for content I like is kind of hard but I have found some here and there. Now for my experience with sentence mining I did set it up and mined like 5 sentences from nichijou but have stopped after that because I don't like doing it, the way I have it set up is I do everything manually and it's such a chore. I also question it's viability because I look at myself now and see that I've been able to achieve an exceptionally good level in English by just consuming lots and lots of youtube over the span of a decade. Thinking about it I started doing it exactly 10 years ago during the summer of 2014 when I got my first smartphone, so maybe I should celebrate. I remember I didn't understand that much but I was just enjoying watching videos on transformers and minecraft modded let's plays that were simply something no one was doing at the time in my language. And because I had a new account all the videos I was getting recommended were in English so it all spiraled out from there. I think it took around 3 to 4 years to get to that 99% comprehension some are talking about where you're not fluent yet but you understand everything and can deduce from context all the words you don't understand. Like past that point into 99.9% just means you've covered a wide variety of domains and have over 20k words under your belt. Good video. I'll try to look at that asbplayer and see if it can work with the streaming service I use for anime.

My loose schedule is get back home, eat do college work to 6 if I have work to do or exam, take break 7-8 Japanese if feel like it I do it for longer and then I take a break. Usually spend longer on weekends

Your a guyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

Is there any way of putting definitions for multiple words in one sentence into one card?

where can i see the grapha at 0:27? or is that a plugin

My picture is smaller then the box with words. I know it's not super important but it's annoying me. Does anyone know how to fix this? Edit: Just worked it out. I changed the screenshot size to 720 instead of 480

watching diffrent shows, i used to watch the same episodes until i understood all while searching up words n shit. If a word truly is important it'll appear a lot and you'll pick it up.

send your anime list link

Pls make another video

can it be used to learn other languages like Thai?

I've clicked your thumbail because I thought you were a girl !

I'll defend WaniKani a bit. I pay for the service, and it's helped me out a lot. I've used it along side Anki as well so I would it's definitely a good idea to include other study methods along with it. I think the real reason to use WaniKani isn't because it's an SRS service, but because it teaches you the Kanji in a unique and very intuitive way. Trying to cram Kanji in my head by just normal flashcards takes a really long time for me. WaniKani will teach you the individual radicals and kunyomi readings which make learning the Kanji way more understandable, especially with the mnemonics they provide.

Nice vid

i got 試行錯誤 from the same anime lolll

I think a good way to think is to be positive. Instead of thinking, wow, I can't understand this word, think of it like: Wow, a new opportunity to learn something. This may seem silly, but mindset really is everything. Great video BTW, thank you.

Whats that drama you shared a clip of with the argument about how to pronounce kabedon lol?

this is useful. you explained the process pretty concisely. i'm gonna start learning based off this timeline: 1. learning the kana 2. learning the grammar (tae kim) 3. working through core 2k 4. sentence mining

WK is actually the same as overall concept of language learning - it IS painful at start, it IS really hard to memorize kanji readings\meanings without knowing at least 4-5 words with it and there is no fun, because you are really "blind" at the beginning. You get overwhelmed and end up in 700+ reviews. However, at some point (past lvl10 I'd say) you will notice that it pays up (daily WK routine), you start noticing words that you know from WK in your immersion sessions. You start recognize that a lot of stuff comes out unconsciously. A lot of times when my minds says "You forgot it, give up, fail the review" I'm going up like "Well, this looks like a きょう to me" - at that is correct answer. When I first encountered this stuff I was really in disbelieve how is it even possible. But now 90% of reviews that are in "I forgot" category ended up with a correct answers from me "without thinking". What you need to know about WK or any SRS that you are NOT learning the language. But having WK as a part of your daily routine helps significantly (at least for me). PS I also saw in your video some very familiar screens with "trains" describing grammar points, so you probably should also recommend "Cure Dolly" channel :)

Sentence mining..the one thing i cant do cause im on a TABLET 💀💀💀

Can you explain in more detail how to create a sentence card instead of a vocab card? Thank you!

Thank you :D

I know that I'm REALLY late, but I was wondering how do you commit a part of your day to learning Japanese without getting distracted or bored?

Does this work with learning any language, not just Japanese? I know Yomichan is strictly for learning Japanese but do you know if similar applications for other languages work?

I lived in Japan for about 3 years for work and picked up japanese while living there, now I'm back in my country and I don't want to lose my level of fluency, but picking up the language by living there and deliberately immersing are completely different things. I was honestly getting frustrated, but your video showed up in my feed and now I feel inspired to actually setup a structured way of studying and immersing, thank you! 🙏🏻

Could you share the deck that you have used? 😅

4:38 When selecting audio for some subtitle I've noticed it doesn't get all the audio, how do I adjust the timeframe exactly to what I needed? That selection bar isn't useful because I cannot playback the audio to make sure I got what I need.

I tried installing refold method but i just ca nt get it to work

I might have missed it but did you atleast arrive to n5?

This tutorial is amazing! I’ve been so overwhelmed by all the different tools out there for sentence mining but this solution works for plain text, manga, and videos in a single deck! Thank you so much for making this!

I have been learning Japanese for 3 days, hope I can consistent in this year

Could this be a way to learn the Kana or written script? Rather than get hung up on trying to pre memorize all of it? Maybe pick out short phrases or single words. At first , learn how they're spelled and also learned the characters to spell them at the same time?

Is there a way i can contact you? I'm struggling with an important part of the sentence mining setup, and I don't know who else i can ask for advice.

Ahhhh you just gave me an idea, on how to figure out a problem I was having with immersion! Thank you so much, I’m so motivated to learn I can’t sleep. I WILL SENTENCE MINE TOMORROW

How does your anki look so clean?

Thank you so much! This video helped me get a free easy setup going without too much trouble. You're doing god's work, lad. <3

Friends? What are those? I go to the gym alone and I'll learn Japanese alone. That's just the way things are.

People beat them selves up for spending 2 weeks to learn kana. Why? It's 48 sounds and 96 characters. Thats not including dakuten and handakuten. Chill people. 2 weeks is fine.

damn that was a well edited video suprised you dont have more subs
