<p><a href="http://ankisrs.net/">Anki</a> is a flashcard program that helps you acquire vocabulary through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition">spaced repetition</a>. It is commonly used in conjunction with the <a href="anki.html">Core2K/6K</a> vocabulary deck by beginners to build up a basic vocabulary of common words in preparation for reading. Many people stop the Core2K/6K deck after reaching 2000 words; partly because the first 2000 words (Core2K) are a lot more common than the rest, and partly because of the significant time investment involved in completing Core6K. As you can expect even Core2K to take about 3 months to complete, some prefer to skip it and begin reading native material immediately. Whether or not you feel that the time investment is worth it depends on your tolerance for looking up unknown words. After finishing Core2K, you’ll at least be able to recognize the majority of words in a given sentence, but you will still have to look up many words per page.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After completing Core2K (or skipping it entirely), some people begin a "mining deck". A mining deck is a vocabulary deck which you build up yourself with the unknown words that you encounter while reading. The Firefox add-on <a href="http://rikaisama.sourceforge.net/">Rikaisama</a> simplifies this process to a single key press, so that all you need to do to add a card to your deck is hover over a word and press "r" (instructions <a href="http://rikaisama.sourceforge.net/#realtime_import_help">here</a> and <a href="anki.html#import">here</a>).</p>

<li>Once you have read through your chosen grammar guide, you are ready to start reading Japanese. While it’s not necessary, reading will be easier if you have reached 1000–2000 words in Core2K/6K at this point (you will have to look up a lot of words anyway, but having a basic vocabulary will make it less painful). If you intend to start reading with <a href="https://mega.co.nz#F!jB0h3BKA!36ITFudC9P25d8tmiGYvvw">Yotsubato</a>, download the <a href="http://livingjapanese.com/pages/reading_packs.html">Yotsuba Reading Pack</a>, which will introduce you to all of the vocabulary used in the first volume of Yotsuba; this is particularly helpful for slang and slurred speech that can’t be looked up in a dictionary.</li>

<li>At this point most people start a mining deck. A mining deck is a vocabulary deck to which you add unfamiliar words that you encounter while reading. You can also continue with the Core deck if you like, but it makes sense to create a mining deck once you start reading.

There are over 500 episodes constituting approximately 450 hours (and 10.7 GB) of listening material. Using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget">wget</a>, it is possible to automate the process of downloading all the episodes with the following command:<br/>
|
||||
<code>wget http://podcast.sokoani.com/SA/mp3/s{001..501}.mp3</code><br/>
|
||||
(adjust the 501 number to match whatever the current number of episodes is)<br/>
|

There are also a number of special episodes (そこあに増刊号) which can be downloaded with the following command:<br/>
|
||||
<code>wget http://podcast.sokoani.com/SA/mp3/z{001..038}.mp3</code><br/>
|
||||
(again, adjust the final number to match the current number of episodes - note that episode 7 is split into two parts so this command will fail to download those; you will need to individually wget z007-1.mp3 and z007-2.mp3 for episode 7)</li>

I estimate that there is somewhere around 700 hours of listening material here. The guests on the podcast are mostly male speakers who speak very quickly, so prepare yourself for a challenge. The best way to download the episodes seems to be from the <a href="http://podcast.1242.com/voice/index.xml">RSS feed</a> with a download manager like <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/">DownThemAll</a> (total size of all current episodes is 29.3 GB). Don’t try to wget the URL range like with the sokoani podcast above, else you will end up downloading episodes of every other podcast on the site in the process.</li>
