20,000 Japanese Anki Cards Livestream! My Last Time Ever Sentence Mining!

[@JiroAzuma]

Congrats you're like a beacon in the self study community

[@Kakino_tea]

Congrats on reaching 20k! Saw you were watching 「ゆる言語ラジオ」 in the middle of the stream but I just wanted to mention that they also have a side channel called 「ゆるコンピューター科学ラジオ」that I think you would probably find interesting because it's the same podcast format but they talk about computer science and things related to technology. It's also really enjoyable content.

[@hajamariole3586]

I remember watching one of your early videos when it was new, and starting using Anki myself because of it, now I’m at 17000 myself. Thanks for getting me started

[@Hoppitot]

where you at now?

[@hajamariole3586]

@@Hoppitot I stopped making cards some time ago about 22500

[@Hoppitot]

@@hajamariole3586 Do you feel as if you are making similar progress to before?

[@hajamariole3586]

@@Hoppitot I think so yeah, but not in reading. I did more reading and less listening for mining than livakivi. I’m focusing on listening now, which when subless firstly provides less opportunity for mining, but secondly is way more inconvenient to mine imo.

[@Hoppitot]

@@hajamariole3586 Yea mining without subs is a terrible experience. What did you read? I've just started reading and read yotsuba and am now reading yokohama kaidashi kikou.

[@scarfismine]

Your videos helped me beyond words get into sentence mining in Japanese, staying consistent, and aiming for goals that are beyond the moon! - You made great progress so never forget to look back on how far you made it! ~

[@Mobik_]

Dude... the use of "Expression" over the cards Core 2k/6k option is such a simple idea but I never though about it! JESUS! I swear, reading a single kanji word without context was breaking my brain and constantly forgetting words and now it will be SO much better for my study. Thanks!

[@taigalain]

Excuse me if it's obvious, but could you explain it?

[@kogre91]

Yeah would love an explanation too. Or maybe when it is discussed in the video.

[@Mobik_]

@@kogre91 on Anki you can edit how cards are being shown. You can check online the exact menu but the general rule is getting into the deck, then "browse", then "cards", "front template" and add the "{{Expression}}" using font-medium to avoid showing furigana.

[@kogre91]

@@Mobik_ thank you!

[@mickymadfree]

I dropped '2k/6k deck' first time for the same reason. Now using word+sentence on the front side of cards and my recognition is over 98%. Also tried that method with polish and it is working excellently. In the end, the purpose of cards is to bootstrap recognition, and 'complete' learning of words will be done by reading/listening.

[@usbgamers123]

Congrats! I look forward to output-focused videos where you use your Japanese in VRchat etc. they were fun :)

[@MeesBoterkoek]

thanks for all the videos around japanese, they are really helpful

[@vivi-vw8jd]

i’m glad i was able to see this. i will do my best to get better 💪

[@humanbean3]

20 cards a day for that long is impressive. I wish I started when I was younger so i could handle that.. my brain is so crowded full of crap that i can barely handle 5-10 a day. It takes a while to push out something to make room for the new long term memories. I guess im kind of lucky to start sentence mining from the very start though. I knew about 100 words when I started. at about 4-5k mined words/phrases learned

[@alexander.b-g5q]

let's go congrats man been following you since the 3 years video keep it up the future looks exciting

[@greenisop6883]

Thanks for uploading this 😎

[@jonande]

Hope youi'll leave this stream up forever, cause every time I struggle to motivate myself I'll be coming here and watch the moment you mined the last card 😅

[@Awt-ne-he]

I hope I reach this level one day only able to read hiragana and katakana and some kanji lol

[@Xoinks]

Same with me, eventually, we will reach this level.. even if it takes a long while.

[@humanbean3]

we were all like this :) as long as you dont give up you will reach ur goal. language learning is special like that, because anyone who doesn't give up can do it.

[@PoofessorP]

how is it going now?

[@芋-e2z]

ほんと凄いっすわ 継続って大事なんですね〜

[@yes-of7rd]

Immerse in my own target language ❌Watch a stream of someone from over a year ago immersing in a totally different language even though I can't understand anything being said✅ PS: really love your vids man, keep going

[@imad_jj]

me too 😂❤

[@icehound6763]

Hey man, I don't know if you already talked about this already but did you ever make the monolingual transition? Love the vids, they're good inspirations for me.

[@imposter5413]

Proud of you man!

[@cakes1831]

I'm so happy i found your channel

[@DirtyDan666]

gamer!

[@77coast]

This was a very interesting stream.

[@Arctagon]

20:34 What's the KZbinr's name here? It sounds like ‘ginakamon’, but there are no hits for that. I guess it's more likely to be ‘inakamon’, and I found a KZbin channel by the name of 田舎モン, but it's a VTuber with only a few hundred subscribers, and they sound very normal and not hard to understand at all, so I doubt it's them. Halp?

[@Livakivi]

It's inakamon, www.youtube.com/@inakamon

[@Arctagon]

@@Livakivi Thank you. 🙏

[@bobfranklin2572]

BASED migaku toolset

[@jonande]

Hey, congrats! This is truly inspiring, especially the fact that you didn't miss a day in over 4 years, I have to work on that. 😅 Quick question: I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but do you review your cards with sentence or with the word on front?

[@Livakivi]

In the anki tutorial video I made, I showed how I review a card and what I focus on, but mostly on the word, since the sentences are broken anyway most of the time due to the youtube autosubs.

[@humanbean3]

personal anecdote: when i first started mining i used sentence on the front and i started recognizing the sentence as a whole and knew the word without actually knowing the kanji that well. when i switch to only the word on the front, and sentence on the back, i started doing much better. you can review the sentence as a whole on the back or not depending on how fast u wanna get ur reviews done.

[@KevinLives]

Hey Livakivi, I recently got a MacBook and I'm wondering if you had the same problem with ffmpeg on anki with the migaku plug in? If so could you help me I've already tried downloading from homebrew.

[@NikOzerov360]

Hi I wanted to ask you : at the beginning of the video, when you go through the 2.3/6k deck. How did you make it so that you have both the kanji and the sentence on the front? (Did you do it manually or did you just do it in the settings ?)

[@Livakivi]

I explained how to do it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqbWdIqBmd2ciKs

[@NikOzerov360]

​@@Livakivi Apparently I missed this moment because I watched this video Но спасибо большое! ----- I did it, THANK YOU!

[@AlexanderDumb]

This is another random thought but does Japanese have a word game equivalent to Wordle? Perhaps some scrabble type japanese games could be fun

[@MidosujiSen]

I think I'll probably quit after 7.5-10k cards. I have 2.5k atm with several thousand other words known through osmosis or previous study before learning about anki/immersion. I'd wager my vocabulary is around 8k total. I can already understand KZbin or sol stuff with ease as it is, I can't see making it to 20k as being something I could bring myself to do.

[@luhh992]

What do you think about learning a new language with ChatGPT?

[@real4ryuk]

I hope none will end up trying this

[@oldgold8247]

Do you plan on doing a face reveal eventually?

[@Livakivi]

Not sure

[@PedroPerezJ1547]

Does it feel like a huge difference between 10k words and 20k words in terms of compression?

[@Livakivi]

In some cases the difference isn't that big, but overall, its a pretty pretty big difference in general yeah.

[@audreyannetts3004]

You got migaku pretty late but even so how would you deal with duplicate cards? You can't add sentences to the front otherwise migaku will think they are words you are learning. Even being 500 words in I am honestly thinking of just switching to core 2.3k instead of 6k.

[@Livakivi]

Pretty sure you can configure the fields from which it parses the known words list, but I personally have been just marking them manually after the first sync, as soon as I mine a new word, I mark it as yellow.

[@kogre91]

@@Livakivi So migaku is not automatically marking a new card, when you make a card from a sentence containing it?

[@gil9296]

Will u delete your anki decks one day? U been grinding for 4y so I assume you’re already pretty fluent

[@Pawnsappsee]

I think he won't, imagine to delete all of those years of struggle and hard work and it vanishes this way.

[@gil9296]

@@Pawnsappsee it gets to a point where u do sentence mining using uninteresting content just for the sake of finding new useless words and he most likely already reached that point that's why i was wondering.

[@Pawnsappsee]

I know haha, I reached 4 thousand a while ago, and I still need to keep going you know 😅

[@AlexanderDumb]

What is the next step in learning Japanese?

[@Livakivi]

Making an update video on that soon!

[@JerryHwang-mg5zi]

Are you planning to learn a different language?

[@clementinebedsheets3210]

Perhaps your next video should be you traveling to Japan and using your japanese with real speakers
