Subs2srs decks now hosted by jlab
Added 2023-03-09 17:27:43 +0000 UTCThe original owner of the community-created subs2srs deck repository had removed her blog a while ago for time reasons. I've been in touch with her for a while and asked for taking over the account. This has happened now and means: The decks will remain available for the community and hosting costs are covered by this patreon. Awesome!
For those of you who don't know what this is: These decks are shows converted to flashcards / anki decks. They are the foundation of the decks I create. Moreover, you can use them to mine sentences on your own. Personally, I have learned most of my Japanese from these decks, it's an excellent free resource.

I can't tell for sure, but I created a list with all decks I use for mining. I had removed most broken decks from that collection. https://www.japanese-like-a-breeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Deck-list.txt This is an important question, so I also added it to the FAQ, thanks! https://www.japanese-like-a-breeze.com/faq/

2025-02-18 08:06:39 +0000 UTCDo you know which Terrace House deck is not broken (i.e. not missing image or audio)? Don't need Engsub, just want audio and jptext

2025-02-17 07:19:43 +0000 UTCYes, there are also many decks which are messed up (no image, audio, etc) or require specific addons. Sorting them however is a nightmare... Those with a "jp-en" in the file name always have English subs, that's what I'd recommend as orientation for now.

2023-04-10 18:58:04 +0000 UTCAside from Tae Kim and another textbook I used in the beginning, I learned pretty much all my Japanese from those decks. It's a gold mine. There are still decks being uploaded (I get an email every time by now ;)). Amazing, I wonder who those uploaders are...

2023-04-10 18:56:21 +0000 UTCAs a note: I think it would be a valuable resource to have a spreadsheet that says which of the decks have English translations or not. A lot of them don't, which isn't so useful for beginners or low intermediate level.

2023-04-10 07:07:52 +0000 UTCIt's around 200GB and there's no comfortable way to download them all. It's also not necessary I'd say. This is far more material than any Japanese learner will ever use. What I'd recommend: Have a look at the download counts (higher means popular) and / or pick shows you're interested in. I also found English subs helpful, especially at early stages. Even for the jlab project, I didn't download all ;).
