- I started learning vocabularies for the book club “10 pun de yomeru kowai hanashi”
- I started “the handbook of Japanese verbs” in Hope that it will make Reading easier.
- And I resetted Renshuu and am now hiding the multiple choice
02.03.2025
- WaniKani: I finished Level 8, but I still have a Lot of vocabulary from earlier Levels. So I decided for Level 9 to learn only one Radical, one or two Kanji and 3 vocabularies per day.
- Absolute Beginner Book club: I started reading 10分で読めるこわい話.
- Renshuu: I’m still learning vocabularies every day.
09.03.2025
I decided to try a new learning schedule:
- Vocabulary, Kanji and book club on weekdays
- Grammar on weekends and all of the other days I don’t have to work
Today was a good day (No tiredness) and I was able to learn some Grammar with the book Japanisch Schritt für Schritt.
16.03.2025
-
I’m slowly getting Back into learning Grammar
-
I finished Japanisch Schritt für Schritt 1
-
I still have to Finish Japanese from Zero 3
-
WaniKani: I’m still learning more vocabulary than Radicals and kanji
-
I bought a Lot of Books on bookwalker. I needed to use the translator but a few weeks ago I tried and have given up because even with the translator I didn’t feel comfortable to buy eBooks on a Japanese Site.

23.03.2025
- I’m still Reading my first book with the absolute Beginner Book club
- I started to learn Grammar with Japanisch Schritt für Schritt Band 2
30.03.2025
This week was week 4 of Reading with the ABBC. I don’t understand everything because there are still a Lot of Grammar Points I need to learn, but it already feels different than in week 1.
07.04.2025
Week 5 was more difficult. I still haven’t finished the scheduled Chapter.
Did someone read the following books? Would you recommend them for beginner (~ 6 month self study)?
I won’t start reading them immediately. I’m still Reading with the book club for 7 weeks and after that I want to concentrate on vocabulary and Grammar again for 1-2 month. But there is a 60% coin back at the Moment. So I looked a bit around on bookwalker.

I was able to watch a Lot of Videos from JFZ. I Hope that sentences make morgen Sense when I’ve finished watching book 4.
26.05.2025
- The Last few chapters of the book are a lot more difficult to translate. I can’t even guess how the words are connected to each other.
- I watched some Videos of “Japanese ammo with Misa”
- WaniKani is now in vacation Mode until I’ve finished Reading the book. I haven’t learned new Kanji/Radicals/vocabulary for several weeks.
- The Grammar that I’ve (properly) learned so far is getting more familiar and easier to understand. I think I’m ready to learn new Grammar Points.
PS I’ve updated / restructured my First Post.
Study Plans after Reading 10ぷんでよめるこわいはなし１

24.06.2025
Genki 2 is also finished.
29.06.2025
I have finally reached lvl 10.
06.07.2025
When I watch Something on YouTube I often get Japanese add (because I’m connected to Japan with a VPN) and I started to recognize a few words.
10.07.2025
I’m finished Genki 1 Workbook Lesson 6 today. Up until Lesson 5 I haven’t had Problems with the listening comprehension. But Lesson 6 was too fast/complex to understand.
20.08.2025
- I’ve finished Genki 1 + Workbook in August 2025.
- Reading ふしぎアイテムミュージアム is on hold / on hiatus. I don’t know when I will continue.
- I started to read DrDru’s Lab.
Nice job! 
10.09.2025
- I did JFZ vol. 1 a second time and it was a lot easier.
- I watched several Videos on JapanesePod 101
27.09.2025
I finished Japanese from Zero Vol. 2. I will continue now with Vol. 3 and start with the Kanji related exercises before I do it again including the Grammar exercises. My Goal is to Not write Hiragana anymore If I have already learned the Kanji.
