ありがとうございます!This was a good video to watch to keep me inspired in my learning! I want to learn to write kanji and I write it as a way to lock the grammar and vocab into my memory. Going to take the N4 in November! (Also you said “pronunciate”, I think you meant “enunciate” or “pronounce”? I checked online before commenting this and the Oxford English Dictionary had heard of this word but only once, in 1652! Found that quite interesting.
thanks for the video ^^

It does! Excited to keep using it
You are much much better than I am, but the syntax is definitely the hardest part. Even remembering Kanji is easier. I think the problem with the syntax is that it's more of a dynamic thing, you have to understand the various aspects pretty well to put them together properly and then there are always exceptions!
All the best with your upcoming JLPT and Kanji Kente tests. Ganbatte! And as always much respect for all the progress you’ve made so far. It’s nice to see your learning routine, and it was helpful to note the available resources. I’m currently cramming with daily Duolingo exercises myself, but I like to be aware of and compare my options to see what works best for me.

Learning onomatopoeia seems like a fun way to immerse yourself in Japanese culture. I never realized how common they are in the language.

Mochi Kanji is a must-try for anyone learning Japanese, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced learner.
Using actual Elementary School reading books for reading comprehension is a smart idea. It must be helpful for improving your reading speed.

Yes! That and vocabulary I never would come across in text books
At the risk of sounding presumptive, especially for vocab/grammar, at your level I'd probably recommend just trying to pick up a manga/novel that seems interesting to you and reading through it, looking up unknown words and maybe adding them to something like anki. The effectiveness of textbooks really tapers off at a point, but constantly seeing grammar/vocab in natural contexts really primes your brain to work its magic and burn it into your subconscious without you realizing. (See Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis) 頑張って

If learning Japanese only required memorizing kanji, I would be SO GOOD at it. Alas, I must also learn grammar, pronunciation, etc....

Hello Kira! So I’m in the very beginning stages of learning Japanese. Im sure you working my way through hiragana and very basic sentences. I’m using Japanese From Zero and I am also using Duolingo. I live in Ohio so there aren’t many resources or classes around me. I feel almost like I’m unintentionally craming. What resources did you use when you started learning? What would you have done differently?
@GingerGaiden
8 ай бұрын
Best of luck! My starting resource was a kana book called Kana De Manga. I don't think I'd do too much differently other than to not set my expectations too high and try to reach high goals too fast. I had to realize this was a marathon and not a sprint
what do you think about quartet jlpt n3 i heard thats the one i should go to after jfz series 1-5 and kanji from zero 2-3

Hi! You might be interested to know that オノマトペ comes from the french "onomatopée" which is why it may sound weird to you.

I'll look it up! I love using different kinds and comparing them.
do not concentrate too much on kanji. Grammar i more important and you'll learn kanji while you learn grammar
