Recommended reading material for advanced beginners?

Common ones I recommend that you may or may not heard of:

  • NHK News Easy
    Great reading practice for beginners-intermediate, ~5 new articles added every weekday Monday-Friday, so plenty of reading practice to be had there, and there’s a translation subreddit for reference and collaboration if you’re interested ^^
  • Satori Reader
    Good for upper beginner - intermediate. It’s subscription-based but the first 2 articles of every series is free to view, so you can check those out and see if it’s something you’d like :slightly_smiling_face: you can sync your WK API too and toggle kanji you know + toggle furigana, so there’s cool ways to get the most out of those articles for reading practice! Plus the accompanied explanations are pretty great for understanding vocab and grammar in context, and the accompanying audio can be good for additional listening practice
  • Manga
    Manga is of course a great way to get exposed to Japanese, so finding an easier manga can be fantastic reading practice to help bridge the gap between beginner → intermediate ^^ there’s currently a よつばと! reading club if you’re interested in reading along and having discussions for reference and comprehension help! If that’s too beginner level for you, you can always find other ones too of course

Congrats on the recent level-up, you’re more than a quarter of the way there! 頑張ってね :crabigator::sparkles:
