If you're serious, then I suggest trying to get a lot of radicals memorised as they will help a lot later.
If you're just going for a casual approach, then going by any sources order will be fine. There's also Bunpo (not Bunpro) that is good for quick grammar practice.įor kanji, the app Kanji Study is hands down the best.
Some common word decks for Anki should be enough, and after that either make your own vocab book or deck from your reading/watching/etc. Anki is pretty powerful, but can get a bit much and is also a bit of a pain to manage. The stories are meh at best, but are essentially graded readers.įor vocabulary, I haven't found anything exceptional. The grammar guides are great but still a work in progress (what is available is great, with great explanations and lots of examples sentences to get a feel for grammar points). Satori Reader, their advanced courses/stories is great, but a subscription and a little expensive. I recommend buying Human Japanese, both beginner and intermediate. It's honestly near impossible to fuck up teaching that in means dog or neko means cat.Ĭlick to expand.JFC, what is that avatar and voice?! Think I'm going to have nightmares. grinds my gears lolįor learning pure vocab strarting pretty much anywhere is fine when you are just starting, especially for nouns. i get blank stares when i ask for a "pizZa man" pizza bun, but if i change it to "pisa man" they say "ooooh". soft drink is ソフト, so fu to, not sofuto dorinku or anything. Their staggered reviews are really effective.Īs for katakana being deceptively difficult, i see where you're coming from and i do slow down when reading, but for me it's more because they're pronouncing foreign words and it's rarely very well selected, so it takes a moment to understand what they're taking about lol. They do it the same way as the "remembering the kanji" book series, but they have different memory devices and are probably cheaper all things considered. Wanikani makes kanji pretty straightforward, if not exactly easy. mandarin especially because it doesn't really have gender or tenses it feels so superfluous and inefficient lol, before Japanese i studied mandarin and German and they're both far easier languages because of their logical grammar. Did I forget it just because I'd taken a long break from learning, and I would've forgotten it regardless? Or did learning to write it out last year end up making zero difference in terms of recall, in the end?Ĭlick to expand.For me the tough part is the grammar, and the various different forms for everything. Case in point: recently I saw 宛 somewhere, and I thought, "what does a bowl have to do with anything?" Then I looked it up, and realized the kanji I already knew for "bowl" was slightly different: 碗. But if I were to see some of these out in the wild, I wouldn't be sure whether I was seeing the kanji I'd already learned, or similar-but-different ones. I can still recognize them when I'm studying for the most part, but that's because of context, and because I know that I'm reviewing old material.
#Ikanji touch app versus wanikani how to#
I noticed I've forgotten how to write tons of the kanji I learned last year. I took a long break from learning Japanese, but lately I've been getting back into it. Maybe stroke order doesn't matter, but cementing what radicals make up each kanji was a huge help. Occasionally I'd write out a bunch of random kanji from memory, for practice. Last year, whenever I'd learn a new kanji, I'd learn to write it out, stroke order and everything. I can't tell whether learning to write out kanji makes a difference in remembering them, in the long run.
#Ikanji touch app versus wanikani series#
Watch that series to quickly learn the structure, then learn all your Japanese by actually needing it to understand the things you are interacting with. Nothing else to it, it's a two-step process. Keep listening and reading content you're actually interested in while looking up meanings and using a custom anki deck for words you think you need help to memorize. Force yourself through it and get it over with. You will have to deal with a very rough sounding voice from the teacher and an ugly anime avatar, but it's far better than reading some of the nonsense BS you see in many textbooks or online guides. No such thing as just soaking the language in.įor grammar, I really don't think there are options better than this video series. Obviously make sure you pause and understand 90% of what's being said. Or watching Japanese media that has Japanese subtitles to look up. I say just start reading stuff online get a add on for your browser that translates things on mouse over. One you know about a hundred in a week or two. It's honestly near impossible to fuck up teaching that in means dog or neko means cat.
