thank you so much for this tutorial! i just wanted to know if this was a legitimate way because when i told my family about it, they werent so thrilled, especially about the japanese address 😅
update in 2024: this vpn is detected by their web services and can no longer be used to purchase anything as it will be flagged for suspicious activities. sigh.....
This is an amazing resource. Thanks for sharing! May I ask about the subtitles you used -- how many were there and is there a place we can also download them? I'm doing some research on Japanese, and would like to run my own analysis. Thanks in advance!
its not working for me :( i have a vpn and used my card but it keeps saying it cant verify my address and wont let me buy anything edit: i got it to work but uh, my card wouldnt go through so then i tried to buy a gift card instead but its saying i have to give them the last 4 digits of the gift card and i dont have it so..
I wouldn't do that. You shouldn't be learning directly from the frequency list, you should be using it as a reference to learn from media such as shows and books. You can add this frequency list to a program like Yomichan or Migaku.
@@ohtalkwho9816 Trouble is I don't have the technical know-how to make it useful for anything, like Anki decks. I thought maybe I could make an Anki deck out of it (hence add definitions and pronunciation), but would be nice if there was an automated way to somehow re arrange existing Anki decks according to the list.
Man, seeing this makes me want to write my own i+1 anki addon. Morphman has a good core and solves a complicated problem but I really dislike how clunky and seemingly unstable it is (its qt5 support is broken since I think january). The hardest part is the parsing of the sentences. If there was some library to do that or some neural network based solution that could with accuracy split sentence into the correct words, I'm pretty certain it would take maximally a few hundred lines. Done right probably way less. I'm currently working a lot with neural networks. I'll see if I can cobble together a language model for this out of existing ones if there is none out there.
Hey dave! How are things going? I loved following your story and found your videos immeasurably helpful in getting me started, and i would've likely never reached basic fluency if not for your help! Is everything okay?
I see you also have Language Learning with Netflix (now Language Reactor) installed. Do you use both depending on what you need at the time or did you totally replace it with Migaku? I'm very torn between the two.
After two permanently-closed emails, I gave up on Amazon and found Bookwalker! Bookwalker accepts payment globally. It was so much more easy: 5 minutes in and I could pay via Paypal BAM tears of joy streamed down my face. Blood sweat and tears guys...
I don't suggest this book to absolute beginners even though it's what I did. I feel it's better to jump right into grammar and vocab and learn kanji with vocab, especially using the free Migaku Kanji God Anki addon.
@@ohtalkwho9816 I am half-way through it, with occasional periods of no kanji added per day and the average pace of 5-10 kanjis per day. It takes tons of time, I am thinking of kanji-godding the top1000 most frequent and call it a day for the isolated kanji studies. Really want to concentrate more on my immersion. What do you think?
I don't think this is the best way to learn kanji anymore. I think that the migaku Kanji God addon is better and learning kanji while learning words. I suggest just starting the tango N5 deck and using the Migaku addon which is free.
Great review, for someone who didn't do RTK - is the book made to teach you the kanjis? or are you expected to know the n3-n5 kanji allready. I allready got n5-n4 pretty much, but I won't buy in to the n3 book\deck yet if it'll mean I'm blasted with unknown kanji. Edit : ya nevermind I see those furigana at the top. I want to buy the n4 and n3, do you know how can I contact them for the anki deck once I purchase?
You can get all of the Tango decks on Nukemarines Discord with proof of purchase of the books. I also suggest learning kanji with the Migaku Kanji God addon instead of RTK now.
@@ohtalkwho9816 allready did last week! Its awesome ! I would say that atlist in my case spliting the listening and reading cards into to separate decks was helpful. The reading cards are easy once youve done the listening _ which bottle necks the review amount/new things you can study daily. Il check out the kanji thingy youve mentioned. Thanks man :)
Hey, I just started learning Japanese and bought the tango N5 book. But I was wondering who’s Matt and how do I get in contact with him to get the Anki deck?
is Low Key Anki better than default anki if it makes it less punishing? wouldn't a harsher system make it better for learning? just a question I had but thanks for the video it helped me set up easily
hey I hope you're doing great thanks for the video I really like it if I want to do the same thing with outher languages where can I get netflix subs files can you give the link where Yoga explain how he did, or explain it to me thanks
Thanks for sharing this. I think cards with audio are really important, but ofc substosrs are good for that. I don't really agree with Matt's n+1 cards or with searching for sentences that meet such a requirement. 1. You will have many more cards, which is inefficient. 2. You will not be following a story, which can be bad for compelling input. I think you may be overselling the accuracy of the analysis tool. But as an approximation I'm sure it's helpful. I personally think it's no problem to have a sentence with 6 or 8 new words. Then you only need to make 3 cards and you have your 20 words. You have less new words, you make a few more cards. It's ok for it to vary, don't optimise for pass fail anki, just make a card for each sentence and always pass it. It's gone in 5 revisions if it was really too hard. This is how I work through my audiobook. Most of the words are very uncommon, you could never get 90% of any one sentence with 90% most frequently used language, if you understand what I mean... the common words only make up a very small amount of a complete sentence. I find to understand I need to know all the words so... I wouldn't entertain any fantasy of knowing 80% of Japanese even if the frequency list was perfect... 80% of any given sentence is from the 20% least used words if you can enjoy that paradox :) Well I don't know the real numbers, it may be even more discouraging.
