2018年から独学で日本語を勉強してる。I post 日本語 stuff that caught my attention.

素直 vs 従順

「素直」の方がポジティブな意味合いが強いです。人を褒めるときに「素直」は使われますが、「従順」はあまり使われません。

（hinative）

強いて言うならば、従順に関してはおとなしいという意味が含まれており、そういった部分で差はありますけど、それ以外にはほとんど同じ言葉として使うことができます。

（chigai）

例文： あの子は素直ないい子だ。 従順だった妻が、突然僕に逆らうようになった。

[omoshiroinihongo]

景色 vs 景観

景色のほうが

よく使われる簡単な言葉です。

自然のながめを言うことが多いです。

ニュアンスは精神的です。

鑑賞の対象となることが多いです。

「田舎の景色」　「ビルで景色が見えない」

「すばらしい景色」　「景色のいい所」

景観のほうが

とくに美しいながめに使われます。

自然と人工(nature and art)に使われます。

ニュアンスは人工的です。

地理学や建築で使います。自然景観と文化景観の2つに分かれました。

「都市の景観美を損ねる」　「アルプスの雄大な景観」

「都市景観」　「景観に配慮した都市計画」

※景色にとてもよく似た言葉に「風景」もありますが自然にも人工にも使うという違いがあります。

True: 「練習風景」　「家庭のほほえましい風景」

False: 「練習景色」　「家庭のほほえましい景色」

Is kamesame totally free? I know kaniwani only has levels 1 to 3 (?) for free but anything more needs a subscription.

It's free and runs its infrastructure through donations. I have seen comments from the site owner that if they do ever add a paid model, it's more of adding quality-of-life features for paid users.

This is from the first post on this page:

Hello, Internet! KameSame is a free Japanese learning tool that is designed to offer a fast, streamlined user interface and a robust feature set that provide users with a variety of ways to learn Japanese. Because it features a complete dictionary, it can be your primary Japanese learning tool for years to come.

Highlights

Four ways to do lessons for over 10,000 kanji and over 180,000 vocabulary:

From a list (e.g. N5 vocabulary, Top 10,000 Words, or Level 11-20 WaniKani Kanji)

From your WaniKani progress [Requires WaniKani API Key]

From free-from Japanese language content (i.e. pasting in lyrics, transcripts, articles)

From searching for any item and starting a one-off lesson

Study both production (typing in Japanese) and recognition (providing English definitions) skills

Audio recordings for every reading of every word (around 300,000 recordings)

Keyboard navigation and shortcuts for nearly every user interface action (see them with / key)

A mobile-optimized Progressive Web App experience

Customizable Japanese spellings and English definitions for every word

An experience point (XP) system as you do reviews spanning 100 levels

Resource links for every word to other dictionaries, image searches, example sentences, and news articles

An “alternate match” system so that you aren’t marked wrong when you provide a Japanese word that also means what the system was expecting

One-click study actions like undo, mark-as-failed, learn/burn (and unlearn/unburn), skip, and block items

Every page is safe to reload the page and navigate back & forward in the browser history

SRS Through KameSame

My language learning journey is mainly through immersion. And the things that impede my immersion? It's noting down information about a new vocabulary to create Anki cards for later. I'll end up with this long list of new vocab and realize the humongous task that entails. I lose all motivation. Because then, I'd prefer to put my energy into reading another book! It's a vicious cycle of vaguely knowing a word (or making assumptions based on the kanji composition) but having to double-check the dictionary.

That's where I found KameSame to be a powerful SRS app because it lets me do more immersion with the least amount of effort to create flashcards.

More information under the cut if you are interested.

KameSame is a "fast, feature-rich Japanese memorization web　app." You can learn about its full features here, but what I want to talk about specifically in this post is the "fast" part of the app's tagline and how it aids my immersion. I'll be diving right into it.

(This also applies to search if you just want a single word.)

Under the lessons tab, on the bottom section is "Study words found in content." Note that this can only recognize dictionary forms.

Once you click "Scan for vocabulary," you'll get to this page:

Clicking on "Study" will add two items for each vocabulary into your inbox. One for production (typing the word in Japanese):

And the other one for recognition (typing the word in English):

Notice that they use kana if it's more commonly written in kana. And most alternative spellings and meanings are listed on the bottom as well. That's a plus in my book!

If you're not familiar with the kanji of one of the vocabulary words, click on a word specifically to take you to its page. At the bottom, you'll see (I clicked snail):

Click on the kanji you want to learn to take you to its page:

Click "Learn this kanji" once you've read up on the readings to review it:

Same as vocabulary, it will add two items in your inbox, one for production and the other for recognition.

I usually have it open when I'm reading/listening/watching anything Japanese, pop the word in and immediately answer to put it in my review queue. I hope this app helps you as much as it's helping me! I've been using it for a few months now and can now spend more time on immersion.

ごめんなさい、かたつむりさん。

@chokopan That's definitely something KameSame can manage (but KW does have a better UI). I wanted to show you an example of how it deals with synonyms for vocab productions. So unlike KaniWani, it doesn't penalize you for a partly correct answer. And it displays hints of previous answers you've tried under your current review session. This could be a pro or a con, depending on how you look at it.

The correct answer here is 調査.

見る vs. 観る、聞く vs. 聴く

First you learn 見る and 聞く, but then somewhere along the line come 観る and 聴く with the same pronunciations - but what is the difference? I wasn't sure myself until I looked it up! Here are the differences and examples of how to use them:

見る　みる　to see (passive)

This kanji is used when the viewer is watching or viewing something passively, like binge watching Netflix or using a phone while a movie is on.

昨日は、テレビを見ていて、そのまま寝入ってしまいました。

きのうは、テレビを見ていて、そのままねはいってしまいました。

Yesterday, I watched some TV, and I fell asleep like that.

観る　みる　to watch (active)

This kanji is used when the viewer is paying close attention to something, like watching a movie at the movie theatre or a sporting event on TV.

毎週の土曜日に好きな恋愛ドラマを絶対に観るよ。

まいしゅうのどようびにすきなれんあいドラマをぜったいに観るよ。

Every Saturday I always watch my favorite romantic drama.

聞く　きく　to hear (passive)

This kanji is used when the listener is hearing something passively, like playing music while doing something else or when they are listening to a noise from outside.

音楽を聞きながら勉強している。

おんがくを聞きながらべんきょうしている。

I am studying while I listen to music.

聴く　きく　to listen (active)

This kanji is used when the listener is attentively listening to something, like a concert or music or a friend's story.

ラジオで好きなアーティストの新曲を聴く。

ラジオですきなアーティストのしんきょくを聴く。

I listen to my favorite artist's new songs on the radio.

Remember:

If you are not sure which to use, using 見る or 聞く is the default, and it's not wrong.

見る and 聞く are used when the thing you are watching/listening to is ambient or is not something you aren't paying a lot of attention to.

観る and 聴く are used when you are paying closer attention to whatever you are watching/listening to.

It's not specified in any of the explanations I read, but it seems that 観る and 聴く are used mostly to talk about your own viewing and listening. This makes sense, because it's easier to determine what you personally are focused on (or not) rather than determining the focus of another person.

[omoshiroinihongo]

For a further study aid on this subject that focuses on kanji variant breakdown to help you understand the nuances and remember it, I recommend watching Cure Dolly's video on 見る.

説明 vs 解説

説明→ある事柄が、よく分かるように述べること。

解説→物事の要点、意味などを分かりやすく説明すること。

解説と説明はほとんど同じ意味ですが、「解説」は「説明」の中に含まれています。

「解説」は「説明」に、何か専門知識を含んで説明することです。

日常的な事柄の手順、手段、方法や、個人的な感情などを相手に伝えることは「説明」です。

それに対して、客観的な専門知識に基づいた説明は「解説」です。

（例）駅までの道を説明する、遅刻した理由を説明する、医者に症状を説明する、私が怒ってる理由を説明する

（例）ニュース解説、スポーツ実況解説、楽曲解説、試験問題の解説
