Learning with Nintendo DS games - Routine - 2012-04-24 So basically I'm on this level where I can read some not overly complicated Japanese as long as I have a dictionary handy. I also own a NDS and recently had the urge to replay Phoenix Wright, but decided might as well learn something from it and do it in Japanese. As I'm still very much a beginner, I'm going to stumble into a lot of words I dunno, and while playing a game I won't have the luxury of copy-pasting them into a dictionary. I know I'll probably have to do it the hard way and just look up the kanji I need by radicals, but do you guys have any tips what would be the most efficient way of getting the new words into an Anki deck for further memorization? Not to mention looking words up for the sake of... y'know, understanding the game. Learning with Nintendo DS games - Zarxrax - 2012-04-24 Most efficient way? Probably hacking the game and extracting the text :p Of course its probably not feasible for most people. But if you can search around and look for some games that have actually had translation projects, someone has already done the dirty work in those cases, and a little searching and asking around might get you what you need. For phoenix wright, there is actually a program out there that can edit the script of the game. Sounds like it would let you get at the Japanese text pretty easily. Learning with Nintendo DS games - Routine - 2012-04-25 I just found out about the IME Pad. How home I didn't know about this wonderful tool earlier. This is going to speed up looking words whose kanji I don't know yet so much. Learning with Nintendo DS games - Zarxrax - 2012-04-25 If that's what you are into, there is also this: http://kanji.sljfaq.org/draw.html I've personally always liked the SKIP method of kanji lookup. Its pretty fast once you get the hang of it.
