Aria the Masterpiece Home Thread (Beginner Book Club / Aria Book Club)

The other logical conclusion is to despair and not bother at all. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Pish posh. へっちゃらポンです!

Well yes, but if you do that, why even bother learning Japanese? :stuck_out_tongue:

The only legitimate reason for learning Japanese is to read Aria? Got it. :+1:

Now that makes sense.

Aaaaand the new thread is up.

Is anyone willing to make the vocab list? If so let me know.
If not, I don’t have the time now, but I’ll try to make one tonight (JP time).

Also, @seanblue, if you can just add a link to the new thread in the chapter 40 thread, we are good to go :slight_smile:

Done! Thanks for taking over. :slight_smile:

I’ve now read one chapter from volume 4 and I’m going to read a second one tonight.


Here are (blank) vocab sheets for the last three volumes:

Thinking about jumping into this series for my first serious read. Might be above my level* but I think I’d like to take a break from text book studying for a while. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

*overall level … not my WK level

Just remember that the first few pages of a book/manga are usually harder than most of the rest of the book. This was definitely the case with Aria the Masterpiece. So don’t worry if it’s overwhelming at first. :slight_smile:

If you have any questions that aren’t already answered in a chapter’s thread (or aren’t answered to your liking), feel free to ask. And if a chapter thread is closed, be sure to bug @CyrusS so he can reopen it. :wink:

Welcome to the land of reading and good luck! :grin:

@seanblue Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind :). I’m fine with it being slow-going at first. I’d really just rather be getting vocab from material and not JLPT books right now. We’ll see how far my 700 kanji can get me. :sweat_smile:

We have now reached the optimal number of chapters and can probably stop reading further.

I ain’t gonna push “like” on this, because while I do see the relevance of the number, we are not amused by the joke. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would quite happily push “like” another 41 times if I had the option :joy:well at least one of us is amused!

Any Anki wizards know how to import the vocab sheet into a deck … or should I just get plugging away at entering it all myself? lol (I’d be happy to do that if necessary).

Apologies if this has been asked … searched and didn’t find anything.

I think @Radish8 already created a deck on Kitsun! :slight_smile:

I’m already pretty invested in anki but it ended up being really simple to import a spreadsheet into a deck … good to know!

I’m guessing you just export as csv and import that?

Exactly. Super easy, just not something I’d ever done before and I’m no Anki expert so I didn’t know it was a thing you could do until I tried. :sweat_smile: All of my decks and cards are self-made.

Glad to know it’s so simple to do. I’m working on a Made in Abyss vocab spreadsheet and I’m happy it’ll take me two seconds to make a deck out of …

Guess we are reading further anyway.
