hello all~ I keep getting comments saying the N5 vocab Anki deck download link isn't there anymore, but it is! if you go to the NihongoShark website, the link just now says "AnkiWeb's shared decks database" instead of "JLPT N5 Vocabulary Deck", then the download button is under the samples. happy studying!! 🥳🍥

Ok so I'm currently doing this on my Chromebook that also acts as a mobile phone, I'm not completely sure how to get it and I'm not good at finding things like this by myself and would love some help with it
Started learning japanese, mainly as a distraction that I am now invested in, finally finished hiragana and katakana and had no clue what the heck to do next. Absolute perfect timing to discover you honestly, you're a lifesaver!

Hey, i saw your comment and i wanted to give you some advice. Im a low intermediate in japanese and ive done maybe 80+ hours of research on how to learn a language and these are the steps you should take: 1. Learn hiragana and katakana 2. Basic grammar and 100+ vocab (from textbook or apps like duolingo) 3. Just immerse in japanese content (anime, youtube, books, music etc.) And make sure to listen actively and with 100% focus. Trust the process and you will be fluent. Also i reccomend matt vs japans channel on this. Also, anki is a waste of time in my experience. Dont learn, aquire through immersion. Good luck dude!
If I can memorize all 1000+ Pokemon, then I can memorize the Japanese alphabet.

I was indebted to you after just 2 minutes. Thank you, handsome man I'm keeping a light record of my progress here, as this is the video that started it all. Hopefully it motivates someone to take the plunge. *Entry 1 - 12/11/2023* (TLDR: Finished hiragana and katakana in 17 days with JapanesePod101 videos using mostly the Kana App and a few small writing drills.) 26/10/2023 Thursday night - Hiragana start 29/10/2023 Sunday morning - Hiragana finish So a little over 3 days. I planned from the start to take a short break before katakana, as I thought this would help with confusion between the alphabets, and so I did. I reviewed little hiragana in the run up to katakana. *2 day break* 01/11/2023 Wednesday night - Katakana start 11/11/2023 Saturday night - Katakana finish So 10 days start through finish. I felt drained during the early days of this time period. Perhaps my initial flame of motivation started reducing to embers after I took a break, but I don't regret my decision. Looking back, my exercise book looks worse and lower effort now than when I started out with hiragana lol. Maybe my brain just got used to remembering stuff? I waited until finishing katakana to resume practice with hiragana. My method: Using JapanesePod101's videos, I used a pen and notepad to write the romaji and the character, then wrote character out for about 4 rows. I used 2 lines at once to make it easier. The bulk of my time I spent in the Kana app, practicing the last 20 or so characters I learned at any given time, then doing a big review later on. I used the "hard" setting for reading and writing, so I had to remember how to write each one. If I didn't know *or* got it wrong, I made sure not to accidentally mark my answer as correct out of habit (my writing score tended to be about 90%) Now I'm just over 17 days in, I've started to read Tae Kim's guide and I'm about to watch a video right this second on optimising Anki's settings for my Japanese learning. I easily found some N5 decks and imported one, so starting out shouldn't be such a hassle I hope. It's a good outlook, and the forecast is sunny with some light drizzle (Not literally) *Note - 09/04/2024* Started sentence mining I have read the Basic and Essential Grammar sections of Tae Kim's guide, and have "learnt": 700+ vocab 200+ kanji *Note - 12/04/2024* "Finished" N5 deck Reached end of N5 deck (654 cards), doing my first review on the last remaining new card in the deck. So 4.3 new cards a day on average over 153 days (starting 12/11/2023)

@@StepRBX Same here. I found presumably the same deck in the first few results on a google search. It has audio (sound quality was meh, but better than nothing) for each word and an example sentence, and the card type is literally named after nihongoshark. I also found one with anime plastered all over it (always good), and decent audio from a site called Jlab (Japanese like a breeze), which follows the order of Tae Kim’s guide. It’s more convenient to use the recommended Anki add-on for this deck so it’s up to you. I doubt I can link them here, good luck. Unnecessary answer but I feel like it so: I’m also currently adding words I come across in my immersion to my own separate deck, along with the vocab in Tae Kim’s guide, in the most basic card format with a basic one or two word definition for most vocab. People probably stress about good cards too much I’d assume. I’m also suspending/deleting cards for words that I recognise instantly or that are obviously extremely commonly used. My current approach is to focus more on listening (me regurgitating Jlab’s approach like), so I just read the hiragana and don’t worry too much about the Kanji, but everyone works differently I guess. I could record my own audio and probably will in future but I’m lazy lol, and practicing reading hiragana can’t be that bad. I’m doing 5 new per day in the N5 deck, 8 per day in the Anime deck, and adding on average 7 per day to my deck from immersion. But of course, I’m currently suspending/deleting words I don’t expect to need to supplement the frequency of appearance of. Not too many though, since I’m still just starting to build up my vocab as a beginner. Japanese will be my second language besides English so feel free to ignore my approach and do whatever you want to do lol. And good luck everyone 💜
I tried out the Kana app, and turns out its wonderful. I couldnt possibly imagine memorizing katakana and hiragana so fast, its blowing my mind! Thanks so much Tokuyuu!

Tae Kim guide must be really good, I saw more than one Japanese fluent person suggesting us to use that book/guide. Good video, thanks for the advises.

Great job studying japanese for 5 months already, and knowing 30+ kanji already is amazing!! 🎉👏 i think that you being so young is actually and advantage - i think you’ll be able to learn new concepts faster than adults! Just stay patient and keep working hard, and you’ll see amazing results. Keep it up!! 🥳
New sub here ☺️ Thanks for the step by step instructions and linking all of the resources down!

Thank you so much Fuuu!!! 😭 Always a pleasure reading your comment so im glad you’re back 😙 the youtube journey has just begun!! 😈
I also recommend the Human Japanese digital textbook. It's what I've been following and it does a great job at both teaching and testing me on my knowledge along the way. I have to be careful about my studying, my problem is usually trying to study too much at once and overloading my brain with too much information. I sometimes feel like I need to cram it all in at once instead of letting it click naturally over time.

Ooo ive never heard of that resource before, thanks for sharing!! And I totally get you, it’s so easy to wanna keep going when you’re in the groove 😝 but i agree! Ultimately, you gotta give your brain enough time to digest each concept thoroughly without overloading. Love your approach, keep up the awesome work!! 🥳

Hello, I just discovered your channel and I think you are awesome. Very good videos that are full of useful pieces of information. In June, I started learning Japanese and at the moment I can read and write Hiragana, I remember all Katakana but I still struggle reading it. I'll use your tips to continue studying. Keep it up!! :D

Thankyou so much for the video! It was really helpful as I've been searching for a while on how to start and got really confused with the different things from different videos. I was lost but thankfully I found your video and it was really helpful! I think it was also funny how you mentioned the haikyuu thing, it's pretty much relatable 😂 I also need some help like maybe if you can clarify.. should we only use the kanji study app? It doesn't have 100 kanji , it only has 80 so now that confuses me.. And one more thing can you also like make a video on how you learned English? Or like some tips and recommendations that'll help, I think my English is fine but you know.. I didn't yet reach the fluency level that i aim to.
Man I am very thankfull to discover you because now I will start study japonese (kind of a good distraction to pass the time) and I know it will be nice to studying it. I don't care how much time I will take if my studys are going well haha. Again thank you so much man. I will sub you here. Have a nice day/night and a very happy life! And I hope your jorney to Japan went well haha😅.
