Hey there, to keep my motivation high, I am thinking about learning for the JLPT N4 in December - would you say it is a realistic aim with around 2 hours of daily learning? So here is my journey so far: First visited Japan in 2015. I was sitting in an onsen under starlight in a place close to Nag…

Where is your listening? Personally I think it’s one of the most important things you can do, which helps you in all areas of Japanese. Try podcasts for beginners. I also think time can be better spent than using KaniWani. It is not that useful to think English → Japanese and the vocabulary in WK c…

Thanks morteasd! The marugoto / minato online class involves some tasks for listening and understanding and also some dictation, but I guess you are right, that it might be helpful to include some podcasts (although I really don’t like listening to other people :see_no_evil:).

I quit doing this around lvl 5, limiting myself to 11-14 new lessons per day. I’m paying to this now, when bunch of the …

Great, thanks for the book club recommendation, will have a closer look on that! And also thanks for your word of caution. So you would suggest to limit my lessons already? Actually, at the moment I have plenty of time, but as soon as I have a daily working routine again, I will naturally have to l…

Oh my god, this is awesome!! :rocket: Thank you so much!!

Of course everyone’s goals, time available and general learning abilities are different. I cannot say for yourself. You can adjust your speed as needed. There is bunch of topics discussing slow-down/speed up strategies (one need to use userscripts for latter). Common things people say: *it’s goo…
