Hello all, After starting on January 1st of the year, I’m 2/3 of the way into WaniKani, but alas, I have barely practiced any other skills, and even after reviewing many of the resources available, I’m still indecisive about what to do/use now. I know there have been plenty of threads on resources…

thank you, I’ll keep these are good points, I’ll keep them in mind :slight_smile:

Conversation is the obvious part I’m missing, as it’s the only think I have literally no experience in. Would probably help a ton to actually use the language, lol

You definitely need to speak with someone to actually understand Japanese. From my experiences of taking a class at a 201 level, Wanikani did very little to make me “good” at Japanese. My brain didn’t process my understanding of the vocab and Kanji into being able to speak because speaking and writi…

I guess I’m the opposite, since I’ve started to worry about grammar too early, as in at the same time as Wanikani. So far I really like “Organic Japanese with Cure Dolly” on youtube. There is a playlist of 60 something short lessons starting from absolute zero: I compliment this with…

you’ve used Bunpo, but have you used Bunpro ? It’s like WK for grammar. I believe others when they say it hasn’t helped them much for production, but for me, it was a fantastic help in being able to construct sentences and learning to apply grammar, because the SRS works on the sentence level. For v…

[image] sansarret: I guess I’m the opposite, since I’ve started to worry about grammar too early, as in at the same time as Wanikani. Same. I started learning grammar and doing graded readers only a month or so into doing WK. As you find out, all the kanji in the world is meaningless without …

I think that immersion really helps. I have not done any of this for Japanese, but it worked quite nicely for my French. I think it is nice to know about the grammar, especially if you like that sort of stuff, but not quite necessary. listening to (online) radio, especially news channels are good,…

The issue with immersion is that you need to have a foothold to be able to understand anything. I feel like I need to develop the base of my listening comprehension. Any recs on specific programs that are good for beginners?

I have used Bunpro, yeah. It has helped for sure. I do have more grammar under my belt than perhaps I let on or give myself credit for, but it’s still pretty basic and I don’t feel I can put apply it particularly well. As far as goals, nothing super specific. I want to be able to watch shows and…

lemme just add this thread to favourites for future references on another note, now, at the glorious level 6, I finally have enough kanji knowledge to understand the writing of the word 東方 what a great way to end the year
