sorry ii, yoi were the japanese 680 is the answer

So, perhaps Yoi was the original and only usage, back in the day?
Perhaps Ii was just a mutation?

'乙' is a smart ass way of saying otsukaresama, which basically means 'thanks for your hard work.' For example, if anon delivers, you could comment '乙.'

>>682 Correct.
Yoi is more likely to be used in written Japanese, while
ii is used in conversation.
よいですよ。(sounds a bit funny, but OK.)
いいですよ。(perfect.)
In most cases, they are replaceable each other.

I'm sure other people on here must use supermemo or mnemosyne.
Does anyone have any pre-made XML that I could download? Entering in each one takes too much time, I rather use someone elses
bonus points for mnemosyne cause I don't have supermemo (but I can try and figure out how to download it i suppose)
you know how adding +sa on an i adjective turns it into a noun? e.g. tsuyoi (powerful) becomes tsuyosa (power)
for na adjectives, do you only just drop na and it works 100% of the time? Or is there some way to edit it too?

You are right.
In fact, all na adjectives were nouns until na were added.

Doesn't work for chiisana or ookina, but you could argue those aren't na-adjs at all.

chiisa = its noun form
from chiisai, an i adjective

I'm looking into spaced repetition programs since someone mentioned them. I'm trying out Anki. My question is, is there more of the JLPT vocabulary available? Also, are there some cards for the radicals? Or for any similar program? That would help a lot.
The alternative would finding some list with the radicals on it and inputting that in one way or another...

I'm the one who asked about the spaced repetition programs
From what I've found, there is indeed more vocab. I looked and looked, couldn't find anything, then I hit the jackpot.
That has almost 8000 words. It was a bit complicated to figure it out, but you gotta save it in the right format I think then when you import, you'll need to swap around the options for like meaning/reading/etc
For radicals, I doubt it exists. However, it is definitely possible to do it as you are able to put pictures inside anki
It doesn't have definitions of radicals though. If you or someone ever decides to make one, feel free to share it. I already know all my radicals but I don't know the meaning behind most of them.

me again, I did a quick google search for more helpful material.
Being able to recognize radicals is crucial to remembering kanji, so if you can't then this is important to learn. But yeah.. definitely share it if you make it. If I wasn't so busy I'd do it just for the readings/definitions.

Do college degrees like AA/BA mean anything over in Japan? I'm pretty sure you need a BA to live in Japan but to let's say, work there, does it account for anything? Or maybe is it equivalent to whatever they have?

Thanks for the links!
I tried to import some of the information. I split it into three anki files (radicals, lvl 1 kanji, lvl 1 vocabulary) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CXEYBYSV
The radicals don't include the pictures from wwwjdic (I think the pictures are combinations from other radicals?) and I realized there was at least 曰 (flat sun) missing but oh well.
The radicals are taken from http://www.nuthatch.com/kanji/demo/strokes.html
I think I'll start by memorizing the radicals then finish the decks that come with the program and then see what's missing to complete level 4-3-2. If I could finish everything up to that point it'd be great...

Can you learn Japanese without practicing speaking it?
>>697
I did my own version of what you made
I added stroke counts to everything, I added a few missing (probably didn't get them all though), I fixed up a few things that the link wasn't too helpful on, and I added some picture ones that showed what they were called when at a certain side
also added around 2-3 kanji example per radical for strokes 1-4 which is nearly half, was taking too long so I gave up http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KXLR31X5

and by link not being helpful, I mean the http://www.nuthatch.com/kanji/demo/strokes.html link. Also anything with a period after it means there is one with the same definition already but different radical

If you could use that language fluently, you'll be popular among girls considered being intelligent. ;p
I'm going to Japan for a year. Do the Japanese girls prefer their white guys the same in America? As in, with a nice tan, or do they prefer people without tans?

they hate greasey weeaboo fags
also any other gaijin (they really hate Koreans). Probably, nobody will act openly hostile towards you, but they wont give you any respect or let you into certain places (eg Japanese only, bath houses)
Don't act like a loud mouth cocky white guy and you will get by okay.
also, trap as many people as you can into saying "dolce and gabbana" its pretty funny watching them choke on their own tounges

well I'm nothing like a greasey weeaboo, I'm just wondering whether I should get a bit of a tan before going over there or not, as they might have different views of what looks good
