Just wondering how people approach reading practise? I’m currently using Satori Reader which is pretty good and definitely a website that I’ll stick to using. My approach is to go through each sentence, listen to it, see the translation, listen again. With new sentences I try to garner what is bei…

Well, you may try playing games in Japanese. I would really recommend Eastward. [image] Video game recommendations for reading Japanese? Japanese Language Eastward is a great game for that, because it has subtitles (it’s the only game I know that has subtitle…

[image] Nada-San: Just wondering how people approach reading practise? I read, and look up the words I don’t know. :slight_smile:

I read manga that I’ve already read in English and/ or watched the anime. That way I know what’s going on even if I don’t know what the kanji means. Naturally, I choose manga that has furigana. That way, I can read all the characters even if I don’t know the meaning. I find it annoying having to loo…

japanese subtitles in anime I can increase my reading speed and also get the listening practice at the same time.

For Satori Reader, I listen to a story page by page. After listening to a page, I will then read it myself looking up the words I don’t know. As for manga, I try to buy ones that I previously watched in anime form for now which makes it easier as I can ignore the words I don’t know. For academic rea…

When I was using Satori Reader, I was reading one new article each day, as well as the article from the day before and the article from two days ago. So I read each article for 3 times in succession. Worked pretty well for me since on day 1, I got used to the vocab and grammar and on day 2 + 3 I was…

[image] Nada-San: Are there more interactive or active ways to learn through reading? Probably visual novels or games with visual novel elements. My general take on “when to start reading” is when you have enough grammar and understanding of the Japanese sentence structure to be able to slow…

Satori Reader is amazing. Another good approach, if you have Netflix or Disney+, is to set up a second profile, set it to Japanese. You should then get easier access to shows that have Japanese language and Japanese subtitles. Disney+ has most all of the Marvel movies and Star Wars stuff in Japanes…
