It improves your sense of Japanese rhythm and your ability to hear what a speaker is really saying rather than post-process it into sounds you are more familiar with. Those of us who have very poor short-term memory or lack a certain kind of vocal extroversion can find Japanese shadowing pretty much impossible.Īnd this is unfortunate because it really is a valuable technique. There are a few versions of Japanese shadowing around, but they all involve speaking at the same time as a native speaker, saying what she (or he – you should use a speaker of the same gender as yourself) is saying at the same time she is saying it.Įveryone agrees this is difficult, but I suspect it is a lot more difficult for some people than others. Shadowing Japanese is recommended by many people as one of the best ways to learn the language. How many sentences do you have right now? I'm wondering how manageable this is in the long run.Shadowing Japanese: You don’t need to be a Great Detective That's an interesting feature! Also it does look like adding the brackets won't add that much work when writing the sentences. If you're interested, you can find more details in the two links below: Plus, I find this more effective than just reading the raw sentences repeatedly since you actually have to actively produce the correct answers. It requires a lot of time to add the sentences you want to study, but you get out what you put in. I get three benefits out of this: 1) it helps me learn the hidden words that I'm focusing on, 2) it help improve my reading since everything is in the context of sentences, and 3) it helps improve my ability to type in Japanese, which is useful if you want to communicate with people over the internet. Im not very good at explaining things concisely, but if anybody understands what i mean, please offer me some inputĬgillum wrote:Personally, I use the Cloze Deletion feature of Anki for learning sentences. How do you guys build sentence decks? do you do the same thing I suppose im kinda trying to build my own sentence repository deck, and using each sentence i come across in my books seems like a good start as they are sentences i have used. What are your opinions? Does anybody have any input as to whether im doing the right thing? I suppose, worse case scenario - i get to trpe out each sentence i produce in my course answers aswell as phsically writing it, so that must be a good thing? also the sentences i make in my answer tend to combine these grammar points in different ways im making recognition and review cards, and already i have over 200 cards (so about 100 actual sentences) and im only just writing the seccond chapter sentences up - this seems more sensible than trying to get a real feel of the grammar just from the 20 examples that had been given up to this point. Now, dont get me wrong, all the other sentences in each chapter (most of which are produced by the reader by asking questions throughout the text) are built from using the grammar outlined in the small set of example sentences, but they do vary quite a bit and i feel enough that its worth writing in all of the sentences i produce during the text. I thinj yheres roughly 10 example sentence patern s in each chapter, and for me, i begin to recognise each of these flashcards too easily and i dont feel like im learning properly, just memorising a small group of things i see often. There is a deck on the anki server which has the sentence pattern examples from the beginning of each chapter of minna no nihongo, however there are many more examples of sentences in each chapter that are not included in the deck. Im not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but, I,'m currently working my way through the minna no nihongo textbook and I'm unsure which sentences i should be inputting as flashcards in my anki deck (i dont need to make a vocab deck as they are available already, i just need sentences).
