Top Reddit comments about Vocabulary, Slang & Word Lists:

u/whatisthesun · 26 pointsr/FreeEBOOKS

u/seatraveler · 8 pointsr/writing

I do creative writing, mostly poetry, and looking for and applying "weird" methods to help me generate ideas for new pieces is in my blood. Experimentation, having fun, trying to break convention, challenging yourself, and finding new perspectives are all your best friends in the pursuit of “creativity.” There’s standard advice (exercise, meditation, socializing) that works wonders but I’ll avoid those for the purposes of this response.

Note: I've used these various methods to "come up" with ideas but these methods don't account for editing or selecting the "best" ideas. A great quote from Stephen King to keep in mind beyond the idea generation stage: “A writer’s notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around.”

Word Games

There's Shiritori which is a Japanese word game in which you write down a word and then the successive word you write must begin with the letter the previous word ended with (ex: apple/elope/enormous/sandal) and I've adapted this by coming up with twelve words and trying to make a piece using those words. Playing Scrabble has also helped inspire me.

Inspiration Apps

There's a great app for iPhone brainsparker which provides words, phrases, quotes, and other bits of inspiration. It's similar to Brian Eno's creative thinking strategy known as Oblique Strategies (app 1 and app 2) but what puts brainsparker ahead for me is the ability to set push notifications at a certain time of day so that I can passively get new bits of inspiration delivered to my phone.

Impose Limitations

Similar to the Dr. Seuss 50-word challenge, I have done things like try to make pieces based on sets of words such as the 100 Most Commonly Used Words in English, the lyrics from a particular song, or something from a famous document like the U.S. First Amendment.

Engage the Senses

A very new method I’ve used for at least one piece involves taking a recent situation I want to write about and jotting down how my senses were involved in the situation (the common ones, non-common ones like kinesthetic or hunger, and abstract ones like beauty or humor) and constructing a piece from that.

Wikipedia Rabbit Holes

I’ve found inspiration looking through Wikipedia articles about anything and everything though this can become a bit of a bottomless pit.

Say It Out Loud/Draw It

I’ve done stream-of-consciousness audio recording sessions and free-doodling to come up with pieces.

Become Someone (or Something) Else

I’ve adopted different personas and written from their voice, such as someone who sleepwalks, a preacher, a tyrannical politician. I’ve written from the voice of inanimate objects like an IMAX screen.

Launch a Project

I did a Word of the Day Poem project for a little over 100 days in a row, inspired by the kind of daily practice mentality of that famous Seinfeld anecdote about writing every day, marking an X on a calendar, and making sure you don’t break the chain.

Word of the Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Similar to the project above involves tracking and subscribing to a “Word of the Day” like with Dictionary.com or A.Word.A.Day or even a physical calendar which is what I primarily use now.

Write in the Dark

I’ve tried writing in the dark before, which didn’t really work, but I enjoy mixing up “how” I write and the environment I write in. Using pen and paper if you usually write on a computer, find a giant pen and write with that, write on the back of an envelope, go to a beach or park and write little notes using a stick. Anything you can do to still “write” but in a different way than you’re used to writing.

u/LONELYCHICKENNUGGET · 7 pointsr/LearnJapanese

I have this one. Don't really recommend it...Just use grammar textbook vocab instead

u/WushuManInJapan · 6 pointsr/LearnJapanese

Depending on how many hours a day you study, this can be possible, or extremely difficult. 3 hours a day almost puts you at the same amount a Japanese language school would have you do, though obviously without the Japanese immersion. 1 hour a day, I honestly don't think that would be enough time. It takes about 6-8 months at a language school to go through n3, but many people can do it quicker.

Let's assume you study 5 days a week, as I'm not sure you will be studying everyday for the next 6 months (maybe you will, but I don't know your work ethic). You got about 130 days to get this done. There's more or less about 100-120+ grammar points for n3, so you really only need to do 1 grammar lesson a day, 5 days a week to be on track. You need to learn about 2,000 new words, and 300 new Kanji. That puts you at about 15 new words a day, and 2.5 Kanji. Kanji part should be easy, though 15 words is a little high.

If you did 3 days of 2 grammar points, 2 days of 5 Kanji, and 15 words a day you would have the basic necessities down. You could get these done in an hour to an hour and a half. I would honestly try and spend another hour on listening and reading practices when you have that extra hour or 2. At least 2 listening and 2 reading a week should be good. I'm sure you could do a reading and listening practice easily within an hour.

I used the try! N3 book for grammar, as well as 中級を学ぼう and 中級から学ぶ日本語 books, but honestly just a regular jlpt grammar book should work. I like the try! books, and kanzen master. The other 2 I listed are very hard to use outside of a classroom. Not very good explanations of the grammar.

The 日本語総まてめ books are good for the practice reading and listening books, as well as Kanji as long as you do your own practice writing and stroke order lookup.
As far as vocabulary, I really like the はじめて日本語能力試験 series. Has a good amount of words, organized well, and has the red card to quiz yourself. And it has an example sentence for every word. I couldn't find the series on amazon, so I had to go to amazon japan to get the link. But I really like these books so if you can figure out how to use a Japanese website definately check them out.

Edit: added links.

Edit 2:

Also, Just to expand on some things. I don't know how long it took you to get to N4, so I don't know what kind of pace you are at right now. Generally, being fully immersed in Japan, it takes about 2-3 months to cover N5 stuff, and 2-3 months to cover n4 stuff. The jump to n3 is bigger, and takes about the same amount of time as it did for both n5 and n4. So generally 6 months. N2 also takes even longer. I spent probably 10+ months straight on n2 before I moved on to n1, and I still don't feel confident in my vocab, and this was living in Japan, going to language school, and having a job where I spoke complex Japanese as my job, as well as only having Japanese friends who can't speak English (I have terrible memory though). So don't get too stressed if it takes you longer than expected. I'm also an idiot, so it probably takes me longer to learn things than it should...

All the resources I gave you are specifically focused on the JLPT. Honestly the test could be better. I doesn't test on speaking or writing, and so it's not really a good measurement of skill. These books aren't going to make you able to speak better. If your aim is the JLPT then this is a good way to go, but it depends on what your goals are. When it comes to slang and colloquial speech, these books don't provide a lot of useful information. It's really helpful to find Japanese people to talk to, weather it be through a meetup group in your city, or online through things like hellotalk. These things won't really help you with the JLPT though.

Anyways, good luck on your test!

u/AnonymousHermitCrab · 6 pointsr/Spanish

I asked Reddit a similar question a while ago. I had someone suggest this book to me: https://www.amazon.com/Spanish-Vocabulary-Bible-Memory-Learner-ebook/dp/B012DSZATW

&#x200B;

I havent gotten the book myself yet because Im a broke college student, but there was a free trial thingy and it appears to have some good examples of this kinda thing in it.

&#x200B;

I cant find the actual website, but I think the main example they used in the description was the relationship between the words "Correr" and "Courier."

u/MiaVisatan · 4 pointsr/languagelearning

u/Oswanov · 3 pointsr/LearnJapanese

I'd say since you already started AJATT: keep on doing it!

Though I can't tell if you actually found AJATT or MIA (Mass Immersion Approach), because the latter was created by a YouTuber called Matt vs Japan who became fluent through AJATT but improved upon it to make it easier to get into and eventually branched off and called it MIA.

&#x200B;

The MIA progression, as far as I understood it, starts with immersion and Kanji Study (Seems like you do immerse and already finished the Kanji and only review them).

Tae Kim is only meant as a small start into getting familiar with basic Japanese grammar, sentence structure etc.

From what I've seen, the current recommendation for MIA is to just read through Tae Kim without worrying about mining the sentences in there and to sentence mine from the Tango N5 and maybe the N4 book (N5 here and the N4 here) and alongside that, to sentence mine from the native material that you use for immersion. This is supposed to give you a good foundation in terms of grammar knowledge and vocab. At that point you should have have mined at least 2k-3k sentences and should already be quite proficient in reading.

At that point, you are supposed to do the monolingual transition, meaning that you ditch almost all English in your studies and try to just use Japanese. You do this mainly by sentence mining native material and looking up the Japanese definitions of words you don't understand.

You should never learn single vocab, only sentences, so you learn vocab in context and have a better understanding on how the words are used.

Now that is just a rough outline of the process. While I am definitely not fluent, all I wrote you can verify yourself by watching Matt vs Japan's YouTube videos, in which he goes into more detail (Don't get discouraged by the length of the videos, they can be quite "rambly" but still contain valuable information about the whole process).

Other than that, there is an ajatt sub where people asked all kinds of questions, probably yours as well.

&#x200B;

All this goes against common sense and is quite different from the traditional, textbook-oriented approach, so don't let people tell you that your approach is wrong and you should do X or Y.

Watch Matt's videos and decide for yourself, whether this method is something you really want to follow.

u/odor12 · 3 pointsr/Korean

"noticing patterns" will be very inefficient with your time. Instead, use this book https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Korean-Vocabulary-Recognition-Comprehension/dp/0824818156 which lists hanja roots and words based on those roots. It has been very helpful for me to make guesses when I encounter new words and has helped reinforce memorization of words with hanja roots.

u/sxtelisto · 3 pointsr/ajatt

This is the book i got:
https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Vocabulary-Words-Language-Proficiency/dp/4872179811/

u/hypnofed · 3 pointsr/premed

I'm going to let you in on a secret. I've also worked in exam prep. The vast majority of exam prep courses teach you a book. That's all. Nothing more. I tutored students for the SAT for years. Now I got the job because I scored high on my SAT I (1550 in the 1600 days), but we used two books: Barron's and the Official SAT Guide. When I had clients paying up to $180 an hour, 90% everything I taught was in those books. What you got by paying me in addition was someone who was also an expert on the book's techniques and could hand-hold you through them, and also spot what kind of mistakes you were making. But contentwise, books have just about everything you need. The list of things I taught that didn't come from the book were materials I made up myself. The only reason I got away with that was because I was with a small independent company that allowed me to do so. Big companies that offer courses (like Barron's and Caplan) don't allow it at all. Their tutors have a script that they teach from.

I took the GRE a few years ago and got a 1450 Overall + 6/6 Writing. What was my method? I bought this book, this book, and these flashcards. I worked both books cover to cover and all 500 flashcards until I'd mastered every single thing in them. Took a few hundred hours. If you do that, it works.

u/b_r_u · 3 pointsr/Korean

Easy. Just get a copy of "Handbook of Korean Vocabulary" https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Korean-Vocabulary-Recognition-Comprehension/dp/0824818156

By the way, I really shouldn't say this but I have seen a couple of digital copies of this floating around the web somewhere...but the paper book is better.

u/GGIsland · 3 pointsr/languagelearning

Yes we do! Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BB1G368/

u/TeBags · 3 pointsr/Korean

Yes there is! The "Handbook of Korean Vocabulary" is EXACTLY what you are looking for. It completely focuses around Hanja meanings and which words they go into. I find it interesting just to look at even when I'm not studying.

u/thymetony · 3 pointsr/LearnJapanese

This book series is pretty popular and has i+1 sentences for virtually every word covered. There are Anki decks out there up to N3 if you can prove ownership. I think they're great (the books, I'm using my own decks and haven't seen the shared ones). That would be my first choice. Core 6000 would be my second choice because it's free.

u/BujiBuji · 2 pointsr/LearnJapanese

I remember using https://tangorin.com/

another good resource is https://ejje.weblio.jp/

it is japanese website but don't worry, search for the word you want and scroll down for the sentences, most of the time they are very short and pretty good..

I can suggest this book , I personally didn't used it, it has 1000 words for n5 with a sentence example.

personal opinion: I think just move on, even when you are not 100% sure about the word usage, specially if you are beginner. The material you are learning now will come again enough for you to fully grasp them while you study other words/grammar. :)

good luck

u/Kakuz · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Hi there! I actually received my scores today, and I'm no paragon of standardized test taking, but here's what I did:

First, check what is more important for your program. For instance, quantitative was more important than verbal for me, so I focused quite a bit on that.
Take a test. www.ets.org has a free prep software that comes with 2 tests that mimic the actual GRE pretty well. Take one, see where you're lacking, set a plan and a goal. Downloading the software is mandatory in my opinion, and serves as an amazing free resource.
Get a nice book. This depends on what you want to focus on. I used Barron's, which I found more useful for math than verbal. However, they also have a very nice book that teaches you 800 high frequency words for the GRE. I think studying vocab for this test should never be underestimated.
Don't overdo yourself. Cramming is a terrible studying technique. I studied for 2 1/2 months, for instance. Set an hr or 2 per day to work on a section of math, and practice some words.
Whenever you finish reviewing those topics you think you were lacking in (from the first practice), take another practice test.
For writing, I had no idea how to approach it. There's some guides out there, and the topic pool can be found in the ETS website, but it's difficult to estimate results on that one.

Finally, I would say register early. Many of my smartest friends did not do as well as they hoped the first time. The test can be very tiring, so allow yourself enough time to retake it (just in case).

That's what I did, and my study process might have some flaws (of course), but hopefully something from there helps!

Good luck with the process! It sucks, but I think it's worth it.

u/decisionswemake · 2 pointsr/booksuggestions

In addition to being fun and distracting from whatever you are going through, you need a book that will simultaneously pull you out of the abyss and help you develop a positive mindset. Check out this book "It’s all about the decisions we make" in your Amazon marketplace. Here is the link to the US Amazon marketplace https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RMKL3NQ

u/rossgeesman · 2 pointsr/korea

I remember getting a lot of mileage out of this book when I first came to Korea. Survival Korean: Basic Grammar Skills The book is pretty simple but it really helped me get my head around the basics of Korean grammar. Also Handbook of Korean Vocabulary is great because it is organized by Hanja root words. It's more of a reference than a text book but once you start to understand the meaning of the various hanja, it really helps when encountering new words.

u/gunthabeast · 2 pointsr/botany

A book called Botanical Latin, helps. You will be able to understand the meanings of the names and the proper process to name plants. I took a Botanical Latin class in college and it helped the most. A lot is just memorization. The real skill comes when you can spell the names from memory.
Botanical Latin: History, Grammar, Syntax, Terminology and Vocabulary by William T. Stearn (1992-11-18) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MYIL3E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oyq7BbZQ2MW9H

u/used2bgood · 2 pointsr/IWantToLearn

LOL - I have a degree in linguistics, and my hubs says that I am a master at communication accommodation - which is not so much about linguistics as it is about social adaptation.

There's nothing wrong with learning on the job either, so to speak, so if you have supportive people in your network, let them know that you're trying to do this, and ask if they'd be willing to let you try it out an them, with the caveat that their responsibility is to let you know if you're using the words wrong, or not providing enough context so that they can figure it out. Challenge others when they use a word you don't know, and ask them to explain. Get a calendar and commit!

All in all, best advice I can give you is remember that language is about human connection and interaction - you speak so that someone will hear.

Don't forget to have fun - that's why we have words like flibbertigibbet!

I use the middle school math version of Getting to the Roots. I don't do all the activities per root... Typically just a short reading passage and the conquer and divide graphic organizer. Here's a link to the grade 4 one:

So strange, wife and I just discussing this--I actually feel sick when I witness the misfortune of other people. I know that Schadenfreude is perhaps the opposite,not quite, but close. . .?

There is a great book here it is but I am sure what the op is talking about is not there.

If there is a word for it great, but if not why does the hive mind not come up with one?

Here's my video review.

u/bkkc · 1 pointr/Korean

Over 60% of Korean vocabulary descended from Chinese. So that should really help you with words. Some Chinese (Sino-Korean is the term used) roots are the basis of dozens of Korean nouns, and nouns are turned into verbs, adverbs, modifiers, etc. in a very systematic way. Many dictionaries show the Chinese character when the root is based on it and I suggest buying this book to get you going: http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Korean-Vocabulary-Recognition-Comprehension/dp/0824818156/

u/LanguageManiac · 1 pointr/ChineseLanguage

Anyway I think you understood my question wrong, I was referring to this book http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Mandarin-Chinese-Two-Audio/dp/0071737278 . Thanks for the comment anyway

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/languagelearning

For sure this textbook. There's several levels to it, and it also has traditional versions. I also have this. And this book us great to help with grammar, etc. As for online, the first textbook comes with an online website here for listening practice. Also, Duolingo is going to have Chinese soon I believe. I can't much help with online. You could try Livemocha. I really enjoy this program for the computer.

Around 16 months? I'm not so sure, however, Mandarin is a language where immersion for at least a year is key. So for that 16 months, plus some time in China or Taiwan you'll be fluent I'm sure!

As you have seen in the other responses there is indeed a large portion of lingusitics and anthropology and cognitve science and sociology devoted to how language has shaped cultures and vice versa . Indeed, there are many concepts for which some cultures have no words.

If you're interested in this kind of thing more generally, I found this cool book at my local library: https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Korean-Vocabulary-Recognition-Comprehension/dp/0824818156/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521745556&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=handbook+of+korean+vocabulary

in which you can look up words or morphemes and it tells you their derivation and what other words they are in.

u/balimoon · 1 pointr/Korean

Totally doable. Here's how I did it:

Watch Korean dramas (Netflix has a small selection that's good enough to get started; otherwise, try viky.com): Great so you actually hear what Korean sounds like. The idea is to learn passively. I promise it works

Check out [Naver's dictionary] (http://endic.naver.com) when you stumble upon new words

Read bilingual news on [Joogang Daily] (http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/list/list.aspx?gCat=060201)

Invest in good reference books. My favorites for:

-[Grammar] (http://www.amazon.com/Korean-Grammar-International-Learners-Bin/dp/8971415541/ref=sr_1_1_twi_unk_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449545300&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=korean+grammar+for+international+learners)

If your friend has a kindle, smartphone or tablet, then a nice little extra would be a good phrasebook. The one that I have is perfect and it's just a few euros - this one. It's definitely a perfect book to start with, to learn pronunciation, shopping vocab, directions etc.

Or, to get more in depth with the language... this book goes into detail about the grammar of the language.
