I’ve been starting to dip my toe’s in some basic N5 level grammar using Bunpo and a few other resources. I do like Bunpo, but I greatly prefer WaniKani’s way of teaching the selective kanji/grammar that it does. That being said, I find it very difficult to learn the in’s and out’s of grammar withou…

Use a textbook which gradually introduces both, like Minna no Nihongo or Genki.

As the user before me wrote: If that really annoys you, use some textbook for the very beginning. I personally wouldn’t advice to use one for too long and work towards learning without such rather boring resources. But it can definitely help in the beginning to get the very basics of sentence struc…

I’m working with Genki for grammar, and my learning preferences are similar to yours. My solution: I snagged an Anki deck with all the Genki-specific vocab, then have been studying three chapters ahead of my active grammar chapter. By the time I reach a new chapter in Genki, I pretty much have all …

[image] KingObius: I greatly prefer WaniKani’s way of teaching the selective kanji/grammar that it does. WK teaches basically zero grammar. I agree with @MadAsgardian that you probably want a textbook or similar to get you started with the grammar. I personally like bunpro a lot, but it work…

That’s why I chose to start bunpro when I was way into wk. lvl 30ish here Then I could focus only in the grammar point, and not stopping to look up words all the time, when doing bunpro. I went to n5 to n1 in one year. Now am back to focus only on increasing my vocab from now on.

Yeah that’s also true, it becomes a lot easier to learn grammar when you don’t have to look up every word and kanji you encounter. Focusing heavily on WK for the first 20 to 30 levels even if it means you don’t do much else is not necessarily a bad idea.

Do you think it beneficial then to pepper in Anki decks for genki vocab in addition to WaniKani to maybe speed up the process I guess? Is there a difference between Bunpo and Bunpro? I currently have Bunpo but don’t feel it’s working too well because of the vocab thing.

I actually really like this idea. I think I’m going to combine this with what someone else suggested. I just downloaded Anki and am not exactly familiar with how to use it yet. Do you just search for Genki vocab?

I did an anki deck of the genki vocab while I was doing it and I wish I just did a 2k/6k/10k deck instead. The genki vocab is really good for doing genki exercises but doesn’t help immediately with other native content

Bunpro takes sentences from books like genki, minna no nihongo, tobira etc So yes you could do that creating anki decks to speed up the process for getting more vocab if you are in a hurry for such. The main issue here is not overwhelming yourself and burnout and be one more of those users who cre…
