Hi! I’m new to the community. I’m very curious as to how you people here are faring with the Japanese language–if you’re conversationally already fluent or can understand but not reply, etc., alongside your background and exposure. I’d also like to know some other ways to learn Japanese, especially…

There’s also this list: https://community.wanikani.com/t/The-What-Do-I-Do-Now-Thread-Free-Resource-List/6534 Everything listed is free. Only free resources inside! (It’s a shorter list.) I started learning from a friend from Japan. I answered that in more depth in another thread, wish I knew whe…

I started learning Japanese in late 2013. As for general exposure… I live in Japan and make an effort to be in situations where I have to use Japanese. For example, I only speak Japanese with my Japanese girlfriend, and I take tennis lessons in Japanese. For reading, I read light novels, regular n…

I started studying Japanese at my local university in August of 2010. Back then, I took the classes to fullfil the foreign language requirement for my psychology major.

This was probably a terrible plan, but currently on track to be level 60 by Christmas then as Kanji practice greatly slows down I am going to focus my effort on grammar. (Would…

I used the app Human Japanese. I really like it! Then I used WaniKani. :smile:

I would have to say that my first attempt at studying the language started in late 2015 when I moved to Japan to work. Since I live in the countryside, learning became imperative in order to have somewhat of a normal lifestyle. Since then, I’ve become conversational and can generally follow what peo…
