How I Learned Japanese - Study Tips For Beginners
Hi, everyone!
In this video, I am taking you back to the beginning of my language learning journey. At the moment, my level is mid-N5/N4.
I have recently been in communication with people who want to start learning Japanese so I'd like to share some ideas for newbies. These are the things I've done when I started to study Japanese all over again. Wishing you all the best!

Hi, everyone! How are you all doing? It's August and this month has got me thinking about how the year has been. I usually look forward to the Ber-months but I feel like 2024 is going by so fast. Do you feel the same way? Since I have been busy, I didn't get much chances to do my hobbies. I can't even remember when was the last time I wrote a journal entry. But slowly, I am trying to get back i...

Study with me - Japanese - Kanji practice
Просмотров 1092 месяца назад
Throwback to a time when I was learning kanji through this method: finding interesting sentences, singling out the kanji characters, and practicing how to write them by stroke order. It was fun because I love writing but it wasn't very effective. Now that I'm back after taking a long break, I am learning kanji through a different and more effective way. I will talk more about that next time. Fo...

      Hi! There are two apps I'm using here. They are: 1) Renshuu - I use this for kanji, sentence and grammar exercises. Also, to generate a writing worksheet per kanji character. 2) Goodnotes - This is where I transfer the kanji worksheet so I can practice writing them.

      @mangostudycat Месяц назад

      Yes, Genki has a kanji section which includes 145 characters. It's at the last part of the book. I haven't tried Tobira but I suggest searching about it on RUclips. Tokini Andy has a video showing Tobira's contents. Based on his video, I liked Tobira's vocabulary section with pictures. Images are really helpful for me as a beginner. Hope this helps! 🙂
