Theres grammar dicts! So I could actually skip the “look it up” step and read the dict reference first :open_mouth:

Read this にほんごえほん あいちゃん2 | L8!

new problem; I can’t find all of the todurko readers on natively… How do I even find this, I can’t see this on the Tadoku website either. Where did I get this PDF from :joy:

I think I have some really old graded readers that they no longer use? Not sure if I should continue reading them as it doesn’t count in Natively, but also reading pratice is reading pratice :person_shrugging:

if you can find them on amazon you can submit them to natively

It is supposed to be my day off today. I think I’ll read a bit (currently this The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone | Goodreads ) and then I’ll go to the movies or something :stuck_out_tongue:

Later on I’ll read some graded reader. Probably チワワの花すけ〜お花見 | L6

Read some more, although I can’t find them on Natively so I’ll just post the covers :person_shrugging: If you happen to find them please let me know! :slight_smile:

^^ This is a bit weird I didn’t like the art style or the story…

Another one I can’t find… Please help me :joy:

Also this one isn’t very… childlike? I think the wolf is genuinely eating someones children here lol

And then the mum cuts open the wolf???

I’m going to have nightmares about this…

Another one I can’t find. Oh, I think these ones are made by some kids school competition? So maybe that’s why they’re not on Amazon?

Came across this website where this person has gone through the n5, n4, n3… past papers and created:

  • Kanji lists
  • Vocab lists
  • Grammar lists
  • Saying / Phrase lists

https://www.jlptstudy.net/N5

This seems like such a great resource for JLPT! As I plan to take the N5 this summer I went through the list, but looking at N4 it appears I know quite a bit of that already :eyes:

This is important because there is no official volcabuary or grammar or kanji list, so a list of all the previous ones is great :partying_face:

Later

I think it’d be a good idea to go through some of the WK Kanji and make my own mneomics for them to help me speed up, and obviously I’ll read a lot :slight_smile:

I am helping the Migaku dev team debug a Mokuro issue which is fun.

Later on today I am going to my friend’s Drag show, so I think so long as I go through Kanji quickly and read it’ll be ok.

I stopped doing 2/3 WK reviews a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and I think it has impacted my memory. It’s more I could do 2/3 review sessions, or I could do something else like Anki / Read / actually live in the language and when I put it like that WK is not the best for me :sweat_smile:

I think making mnemonics for kanji which trip me up may be the best of both worlds, will report back :saluting_face:

Finished this book!

How cute with the authors at the end!

I made a list of things I want to read in the future. Looks like Fairy Tail isn’t too hard, but is probably a lot of fantasy-specific words FAIRY TAIL 1 | L23

Next up is this one! https://learnnatively.com/book/553197e8db/

You are the first person I see mentioning Pimsleur around here. I agree with you it’s kinda boring but I used it when I was studying Japanese the first time around and I remember it being quite good for speaking!

Are you not using anymore? I think this part was a bit ambiguous on the OP
