So I finally made level 5! I know it’s a really small achievement compared to many here, but I never thought how happy i’d be to level up! The pace of the lessons is great, and I feel that i’m actually learning the Knaji and vocabulary at a really good rate. I do however have a few questions I want…

Welcome! [image] coxy4972: Does anyone have any tips or tricks to practice my kanji/vocabulary outside of the lessons/reviews? Join the book clubs here on these forums. :slightly_smiling_face: [image] coxy4972: How does everyone learn to differentiate between the Kun’yomi and On’yomi re…

I can’t really help with item two as I’m still working on those readings myself, but this should help you with items three and four. The Ultimate Additional Japanese Resources List! As for item one, there’s a script you can find below that, once installed, will allow you to review what you’ve le…

This is awesome, thanks! What book clubs would you recommend as a complete beginner? I did take a look at one or two, but they seem quite daunting/ a step too far right now! Thanks for the other advice, I’ll take a look into Tae Kim and Shadowing now :slight_smile:

Thanks so much. Just took a look at the Ultimate Additional Japanese resources list… I think it has pretty much ever answer to any question I could ask for so far haha. I’ll also install the script later and take a look, sounds interesting! Thanks for the help!

1.Try reading the short stories in tangoristo, and as others mentioned, the bookclubs. I think absolute beginner is the one for beginning learners Kunyomi reading are often used when the word is standalone(or with hiragana attached) and onyomi is used when the word is a compound word i.e two word…

I would reccommend doing bunpro alongside WK. but dont worry too much. get to lvl 10 in WK then start studying tae kiim and join a reading group. maybe try out anki and create your own decks with WK vocab… alternatively use Kaniwani although its generally suggested to set this to burn items only an…

[image] Belthazar: Generally, you don’t. You just learn that, say, 川口 is read as かわぐち while 人口 is じんこう, and you don’t care which one is on’yomi and which is kun’yomi. After a while, you just start to get a feel for which reading goes where - you’ll even be able to intuit the readings of words yo…

There’s no need to, really. The reviews are the practice. I’d say any kanji exposure you get from grammar study is probably enough for now. With enough exposure it just happens. Kun vs On isn’t something I’ve ever had to focus on specifically, and the common readings will fall into place pretty qui…

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! :blush: Some great Ideas that i’ll start looking through now! Next stop, level 60 :ok_hand:

Probably the Absolute Beginner Book Club. Yeah, they’re daunting, but if it wasn’t a challenge, you wouldn’t be learning anything.
