Pitch Artist is a tool for creating SVG pitch accent graphs from a compact text notation. The graphs can be saved as SVG files and inserted into Anki notes. The tool can be used from the Anki dialog for preview/export, or as an output format when generating card fields. Pitch Artist does not tell you what accent is correct. It only gives you a canvas and a brush. It's up to you to draw correct…
When it comes to learning a foreign language, there are two primary approaches: acquisition and learning . AJATT is a language learning technique that focuses on acquiring the language rather than learning it. The distinction between learning and acquisition is one of the most fundamental and important concepts to understand when it comes to applying the AJATT method. In this article, we'll…
Tatsumoto, what are your thoughts on more specific books claiming to teach kanji, like ones that break down kanji into radicals, or ones that teach through illustrations? Are all of them inherently bad? Kanji books help you develop kanji fluency initially. You learn to recognize kanji and tell them apart. But you outgrow them quickly . They help when you first start learning to read, but as your…
Have you ever tried using AI to analyze grammar in sentences in the Foundation or Essentials decks? If you tell it to "Do a word by word analysis of the following sentences" with an example of what you want the format to be, it will produce a pretty nice analysis.

Do you know if there is a way to make this deck play all the audio files in Anki Mobile, or does it only work on the…
What if a person's motivation for learning Japanese is only to play niche proprietary games/software that will never be localized into their native language. How could they follow the AJATT method? If someone's only motivation is playing a specific set of games , that's a recipe for quitting once they've finished those games. Try to broaden your content choices so you always have something to do…

Is it something to worry about? Yes, there are sizable gender differences in Japanese. Men and women speak and act differently, use different…
What's actually the best way to find easy anime? You would think just analyzing the subs for speed, frequency and words you know, maybe even grammar, would make it possible to rate how easy it will be for you. When I learned Japanese, I didn't worry about categorizing anime into easy VS hard . The first anime I mined after making my mining deck was Steins;Gate. Although it isn't the simplest anime…
