I would like to share which apps I am using for learning Japanese and for what reason. I have seen posts about people asking for somebody to tell him or her which tools use to learn Japanese, I want this topic to be the opposite, just a topic where we share the tools we are using to learn Japanese. And help to other users to new tools that in other way this person would never find.
I start with mine (most of them are not free, sorry)
Wanikani: Obviously, if you are here, you are using it too. Bunpro: It is like wanikani, but for grammar. Also has support with Wanikani Kanji Study: I use this with Wanikani, as I am adding the same kanjis as wanikani and I learn the meaning with Wanikani, but in parallel I learn how to write (it helps a lot to memorice them), I created a deck to be equals to Wanikani progress. Kanji!: Similar to Kanji Study, but also includes vocabulary, I prefer Kanji Study though Kanji recogniser I used to practice, if the app finds the kanji I wrote, then I am happy Migii JLPT : It has JLPT examâs exercises. Lingodeer+ It is not the same as Lingodeer, it contains a lot of exercises, listenings, vocabulary and grammar SatoriReader: Contains a lot of stories for reading and listening, with translations and explanations of the translations. Also has support with Wanikani. Duolingo: The infamous duolingo loved by ones, hated by others. for me, not a good app to learn Japanese, but a good app to practice Japanese
I also use online pages and Jisho for a helping hand
I hope you to share the ones you use, maybe between all discover new apps that no other way we would never know about that existence.
Elseway I tend to google a lot and read up on topics that relate to my mnenomics or are new concepts for me in Japan. Helps me a lot to get some kind of context-based mnenomic if that makes any sense? I bet thereâs a word for this.
Iâm focusing on wanikani now, but I also subscribe to Andy and listen to lessons and vocab and stuff sometimesâŠjust to have some understanding for when I make the switch to focus on grammar around lvl 10.
Iâm a little confused. Wouldnât it just be easier to share any new resources on the The Ultimate Additional Japanese Resources List! since itâs already quite established? Or am I misunderstanding your purpose?
Oh, sorry I didnât know about that topic. Then yes, this topic is useless then, the one existing is better, it has a lot of info and it seems that is pretty popular, when I wrote the topic I tried to find if there was one, but I couldnât find it.
Vocab: Kitsun 10k vocab deck (sentencs voiced)
Grammar: JLPT Sensei grammar e-books (Quick explainations and 8-10 example sentences, is as effective as it gets, not a bunch of garbage, gets right to the point)
Kanji: Wanikani.
Listening: Immersion. Youtube, anime, right now plowing through a bunch of âprank channelsâ.
Reading: Satorireader when I have time.
Hope you kick your dirty Duolingo habit in due time. Itâs a beginner trap. Also need to suppliment your vocab, might get time for that if you kick duo.
