I went through RTK1 before I learned my first word of Japanese… not at all that I’d say that is required or even recommended.
ちは！
or just ライアンです！ for that matter.
I personally did RTK and felt that it was helpful. If you are fine with continuing it, then I’d recommend just doing so. If you feel you are going crazy and want to quit it, then I feel that even just going through the first 1000 would give you benefit.
As for things not mentioned, I’d recommend reading tons as well as making sure to listen every day. Just make sure you enjoy what you’re doing ultimately.

気障者.
If you really don’t need to know any of the text of what is going on in a game and are doing it solely to see hiragana so you can sorta practice while you’re playing, I’d recommend playing a rom for an older zelda game or something. Honestly I can play kanji laden games just fine and understand them well enough, but I’d really struggle through hiragana only games. Last time I tried one, admittedly quite awhile ago, I only lasted 15 minutes before becoming frustrated and just quitting.
It could help if you mentioned what types of games you like in general. I play 幻想水滸伝1&2 on PSP though. I don’t think it is too difficult to follow the story, yet if you’re a completionist and you’re not familiar with the game, I’d recommend looking at a 攻略 as there is lots of missable stuff/characters.
Thanks, I’ll try to take a break from what I was doing.
Might try some other side of Japanese then… Anyone have any suggestions?
Create an anki mobile account account. Sign into the account on anki. Open your deck. In the file menu hit Sync deck.
If you still have trouble, ensure you’re using the correct app (ankidroid beta for anki 2, and ankidroid for anki 1.x) I haven’t done it on Anki 2, but I imagine it’d work similarly.
Nah, she did write セックスしてください and showed it to me on a video chat, but we lived too far away to actually meet each other without preparing for it beforehand. There was the distance and well… some of the other stuff she said… honestly, after that, I didn’t really want to meet her that badly. ^^ Was almost a little afraid of meeting her. o:
I honestly believe her to be insane.
Welcome; good luck with your studies.
tl;dr: hi
If I can motivate myself, I’ll pick it up again; I want to, I’m just going through a bit of a rough time in my life right now. I can generally read Japanese ok (read a few novels, but mostly just manga and websites/blogs now, and the occasional conversation I’ll have) and my listening isn’t terrible (certainly not good), but my output is a little lacking — so much so that I get annoyed at being called かわいい so often because of it now.
Ultimately, I’m not satisfied with stopping here, so I’ll work on it more at some point.
How’s your Japanese progress coming along by the way? ;D

If you don’t make sense of it, it is easier to ignore. Well… I mean you can still use the hanzi there to pick up meanings of some words if you are familiar with kanji, but I think for the most part you wouldn’t really be building an association with it.
Ultimately I feel it is fine so long as you’re not also learning Chinese (or already know it), English subtitles are bad in the sense that they make you pay more attention to them than the audio. If you can make more sense of the audio than you can the subtitles, then you shouldn’t really have that problem. The few series I couldn’t find with no subtitles (tended to just torrent), I’ve watched with Chinese subtitles instead and I think that it worked fairly well.
Not sure what you’re into, but I really like the one I linked to above and recommend it. Admittedly the audio is a bit poor — but it is good enough to understand.
You could be a leech and limit your upload speed to like 1kb/s or something!
On a serious note if you don’t want subtitles because you don’t want to be reading English and having it distract you from the Japanese audio, you could try Chinese subtitles (assuming you don’t know Chinese) and try youku: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODkxNzU2ODg=.html here’s a link to 野ブタをプロデュース (the top right lists the rest of the episodes as well)
Me? Not lately. =p
Only thing I’ve done in Japanese lately is reading manga and having some 気狂い女 rant at me. Recently blocked her though because I couldn’t stand her drama any longer.
Honestly, I signed up more out of curiosity of what the site had than out of actual utilization of it.
This is what I recommend for learning the kana anyway. You can choose the characters you want to study in the hiragana and katakana sections then hit practice and it will start.
Welcome! What issues are you having with Anki, and which OS are you on?
I don’t mean to be rude, but I always appreciate corrections so…
こにちわ should be こんにちわ (technically it should be こんにちは、 but こんにちわ is just fine is certain crowds — usually younger people) Actually, I’d just stick with using こんにちは for now. は is the particle “wa” in this case.
“my girlfriend is 日本語” should be “my girlfriend is 日本人” 日本語「にほんご」 – Japanese langauge 日本人「にほんじん」 – Japanese person.
がんばってくださいね
