So in terms of "pre-learning" vocab, what would you suggest? Say I'm looking to read a Manga, do I go through the first chapter, picking out words I don't know, then looking them up and studying them in order to read the chapter without pause? Or do you mean find lists of commonly used phrases and terms in Manga in general and study up?
Or does this apply more to a Newspaper article you know is going to be on Politics so I would be looking up Political terminology?
Just interested in hearing a bit more in-depth about your approach.
I'm not sure this approach would be useful for materials that aren't in electronic text format. The materials I've been using have all been in electronic text format so that I can automate card creation.
I take the text from something I want to read and past it into the jdic glosser then clean up the output to create anki vocabulary cards. Then I delete the words that I already know and study the rest before reading or listening. You could also do something similar with subs2srs. I believe this kind of thing works best taking things in small chunks and not studying too much before actual use. It's all about understanding words within larger contexts than a single sentence and actually using Japanese to enjoy materials that you want to. I think this approach can also benefit from multiple readings or watching a show multiple times.
