Nipponese Learning Thread: "Even penguins have waifus" Edition

Make sure you study everyday. If you're new, learn Hiragana and Katakana first. This won't take too long, maybe a few weeks at the latest. When you're comfortable with that, you can begin learning vocabulary and grammar. There are numerous resources below that can help. If you have something you want added to the list, then post it. If you think something should be removed, talk about that, too. Dekinai-chan is a bitch, she wants you to fail. Prove her wrong.

nah it's fine.

in all seriousness, I do wish the kanji damage deck didn't have so many made up names for certain radicals. When I do the flashcards, I always have to remind myself "oh this doesn't really mean heel and this doesn't really mean decapitated cow. Those are just names he made up for them." It's still the best kanji deck I've come across, though.

Threadly reminder.


That's a good way of remembering them though. For example the people over at kanji.koohii.com/ use Mr. T for the 人 radical and Spiderman for the 糸 radical. It makes the stories more memorable.

...

I have learned the kanas and i am learning grammar, should i start learning the radicals before going onto vocab?
How much does it hinder me that i am unable to learn stroke orders right now?

What are some good resources for books or other reading materials? Not textbooks but just regular shit, like kids books or something. Preferably with translations. I'd like some reading practice that is lower level but not boring textbook shit.

ありがとう

This is going to out me as a retard, but what are the mega:/// links? Is that the same as a link for mega.nz that requires a special downloader?

It's for the Mega plugin. Just drop everything from the #! onward behind mega.nz/ and it'll work.

Thanks, friendo.


Also, that pastebin should be updated. That "anonfiles" link listed for Remember the Kana in [Necessities] leads to a casino-buying website, probably virus filed.
