Hi everyone. This is my first time starting a topic. Please treat me kindly. I have extended by Japanese studying from just wanikani to adding bunpro as well. But I feel like I am getting nowhere. I used to take Japanese language classes but since then my progress in japanese grammar has signif…

Hi lavillian I’m currently working my way through Genki 2 and I can’t say I retain all grammar points right away, there’s some stuff that remains in the back of my head and It takes seeing it somewhere in context multiple times to really stick, it’s like: “oh I’ve seen this before! I got this”. I f…

Are you sure you can’t find a Japanese person to practice conversation with? If you have a university nearby there maybe Japanese people wanting to improve their English (I have two PHD students who I meet up with for an hour of conversation- half English and half Japanese). I think you can also fi…

While I understand having a specific person to do this with might be preferable, I just wanted to point out there is also a thread on the BunPro community about writing a sentence a day. That could potentially be a good addition, in terms of the practice you’re looking for, with or without a study …

you could use hellotalk for that. Post a few lines every day or so, most likely you’ll get corrected quite often. Probably is better than the correction of someone else learning, that might or might not actually be right when correcting :sweat_smile:

Hey Iavilian! I’m actually looking for a study buddy too if you’re still in need. I’m lvl 18 in wanikani so not too far off! (=

I have tried this and I know it would work…eventually. I just haven’t had any success at it yet. Either the student I get to know is too busy, or the person I meet online ends up being a creeper, etc… I’ll probably keep trying, but I thought trying these forums would be good too.

[image] pizataberu: I have a hard time understanding and remembering some grammar points I learn too. I read Genki books and I slept. I think writing a sentence or two based on a grammar point and replying to each other in Japanese using that grammar point is a good idea. Which grammar point f…
