Why? Well, because there are so many possible translations for a given sentence, how are you going to say which is right and which is wrong? Are you only going to count the one you’ve got written down? That’s too restrictive and too failure-prone. Do not translate from English to Japanese. This does not involve looking at an English sentence and translating it into Japanese.By our definition, if you cannot do any one of these 4 things, then you have not learned the sentence. If you have no graph paper around, do without until you get some. You should do this on graph paper (one square per character). This is so you get practice writing Japanese - you don’t have to do this for every sentence, but do at for as many as you can. Understand the meaning of the entire sentence But again, you just need to remember the gist of the translation (not the exact wording) for it to count as knowing the sentence.ģ. Of course, early on, you will be using Japanese and English together (later, Japanese only), and you will need probably get translations of the sentences, so put those translations in the “answer” field of your SRS use them as a check of your understanding. You don’t need to provide an exact translation when you give your answer, in fact, don’t bother translating at all. I don’t suggest you over-analyze the sentence, but you should know the function of each part of the sentence, otherwise you can’t truly be said to be understanding it. Know the meaning of every word in the sentence. Read it in full, aloud, with kanji, no furigana.įurigana are great for when you’re reading comics and such, and I heartily recommend you use books that have them, but you need to learn to function without them.Ģ. In order to have learned a sentence you need to be able to do 4 things:ġ. One or more sentence sources (dictionary, movies, music).Computing device(s) (PC, electronic dictionary, PDA, etc.).The important thing is to learn every day. Don’t freak out if you only do 15-25 every day. But the way we’re doing it, you can easily learn about 50 every day no sweat, and even more if you want to.
