Also this forum is filled with some MAD moderation.
This forum needs actual rules. Not just “general ideas of how one should behave”. I know of much better alternatives that are in the works though. Hooray.
Oh no! You mean I will have to wade through calls from girls that I’m even LESS interested in than I was before when it was limited to just AKB?! Joy. Time to keep my money in my wallet…
*Waits for “峯岸みなみ 1/1″*
Sorry Carlos…but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen you come in.
Are you someone else on the TS?
I stopped paying because it was so unpopular. All the data has been deleted. I wouldn’t mind starting it back up again…but I need to know that I’d actually have users…
I’ve got no true backups but I have bits and pieces and could likely have it back up and running in about a week’s time.
A little preface before you come in:
The Teamspeak listed here in relatively dead and we don’t really talk much about Japanese. There’s a few people that still study Japanese but just like you’ve probably done in the past, a ton of people have quit learning but still come in to socialize occasionally. The server is regularly empty and most of our regulars are long gone. When people are actually on, conversation revolves around games, current events and other media.
“NARUTO and BLEACH! ZOMG!” — You won’t find a whole lot of acceptance here. Sorry.
“Oh Em Gee. Nihongo is so totally suteki. I wanna benkyou all day!” — Just…stop. Now. GTFO out the TS.
“Hey guys. 金利の低下を背景に、新たな資金運用の手段として個人が購入できる社債の人気が高まり、先月までの半年間の発行額が同じ時期としては過去２番目に高い水準になりました。” — What part of beginner Japanese don’t you understand? I don’t care about the popularity of Bonds in the Japanese market. Go try Lang-8. You’d get more out of it.
If you come in you need to talk. Don’t expect everyone to talk at you to encourage you to talk. What’s the point of coming in if you’re just gonna sit silently? SAY HI. CONVERSE.
Oh and by the way: It’s REALLY annoying when people come in and pick everyone’s brain to find the best Japanese resources and never come back. If you’re not going to be courteous and at least show your face again after I spend an hour chatting with you about all of the resources that I’ve found over my two years of study then don’t bother to come in at all.
Sorry if this seems harsh…but this seriously encompasses most of the new people that have come into teamspeak over the last year. There’s a few really cool people for sure…but yeah.
So… If you think you have some social skills and aren’t afraid to talk about something other than the latest convention you went to or your favorite anime…come on in. I look forward to seeing you.

ScorpionVII:
I have a quick question I keep seeing people downloading/studying iknow’s core 2k/6k what happened to the other sections?What other sections? That’s all that’s on there. (Unless you’re talking about kana)
In my opinion, going the Anki route is not the greatest advice. Yes iKnow costs money. So do most good things in life. It annoys me to no end that people always create these hacky fixes to get things done for free. Pay for a good service so it can continue to flourish and get better. Don’t have money? Yes you do. Save for it. Cut some lawns…sell some crap…
As for not liking the fact that it only teaches you the meaning…what do you mean? iKnow teaches you the meaning of the word and it shows you how it would be used in context in a sentence. What more do you want? Kanji stroke order? Useless unless you plan to do calligraphy or something. Most Japanese people don’t write much anymore anyways…everything has gone digital. Just learn the word.
You could also try http://www.ReadTheKanji.com. It’s a great way to learn Kanji/vocab in context. It’s not going to hold your hand and it’s not going to teach you stroke order. It’s simply going to teach you what you actually need to know minus the fluff that…ahem…other…resources like to add in to fill pages upon pages of content. You will get EVERYTHING wrong at first most likely…but that’s the point. After a while you’ll start to remember it and you will simply have the memory of that vocab word/kanji. I prefer this method because you dont have to learn radicals, mnemonics and all that other fluff. Why learn something solely to overwrite it in your brain at a later date?
To put it lightly, Silverspoon is GOD AWFUL.
The only reason I can imagine anyone liking it is if they like spending LOTS of money for daily lists like this:
1) Watch this video. Just watch it.
2) Chillax for 20 minutes while watching. Just listen if you want to.
3) Do 5 kana in Anki
4) Chillax for 30 minutes watching that video from earlier.I did the program and got my money back after about 30 days of seeing more or less the same list-based BS. Oh and I forgot to mention…those videos he gives you contain ZERO Japanese instruction. It’s just low quality youtube videos (usually Japanese commercials) on endless repeat.
The premise of the program is that you can just absorb the language. Too bad no amount of absorption will teach you grammar…
Avoid it. LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Since there’s no PM system and you don’t come into teamspeak anymore I just thought I’d leave this here…
