What can I read?

When I was first trying to read things, I started with:

  • NHK Easy News (free, can also read it on an app called TangoRisto which has additional cool features; also a translation subreddit for it where you can check your understanding with others’)

and then

  • Satori Reader (subscription-based, but the first couple of articles in each series are free to read; can also sync your WK API with the site for additional niftiness)

You can also check out the Absolute Beginner Book Club here on the forums which will be starting a manga soon (Shirokuma Cafe :panda_face: and then Chi’s Sweet Home :cat:), as well as the Yotsubato! reading club, all great for beginners (make sure to get some grammar under your belt too if you haven’t already!)

Also, as far as resources go, here’s an excellent and comprehensive thread about it that may help point you in the right direction:

Happy reading! :crabigator::books:
