hi! hope this isn’t a repeated topic— this is only my second one so excuse me if i do something wrong— so yesterday i finished level three after resetting my progress a month or two back. i’m (hopefully) going to be getting a lifetime subscription of wnkn come this year’s sale, and i wanted to kee…

Yes, now is a good time to start. He uses kanji, but has the readings and translations there as well. Consider it a little extra kanji practice. I started off with Tae Kim’s guide because it’s easily available online for free and is pretty comprehensive.

I’ve restarted Wanikani this year (now level 18, almost back to 23 where I was at) and I feel like I understand so much more about Japanese now. The difference? I’ve been studying grammar this time. It is so much nicer now: I can actually read and understand stuff. Last time around, I could make up…

Bunpro combined with “A Dictionary of (…) Japanese Grammar” works quite well. Those are paid options though. There are lots of great YouTube channels teaching Japanese, like Miku Real Japanese , Japanese Ammo with Misa or Learn Japanese From Zero! . IMHO learning from videos, especially for beginners…

Just as there are countless recipes for/articles about chocolate chip cookies :cookie: :cookie: :cookie:, there’s always room for another question on the same topic…

I was half-joking, but in your analogy it would be more like having the same chocolate cookie recipe 10 times on the same site :stuck_out_tongue:.

Tae kim’s guide introduces the required vocab in every section, no prior knowledge required. Begin as soon as you wish. Just a heads up tho. It’s not a bad ressource but i find that the structure could see improvements, likewise in conveying an overall understanding of how japanese works as a lang…

[image] morteasd: I was half-joking As was I. But you were saying … Some topics live on forever. But back on topic, there’s never a right or wrong time to start anything. The point is to just start. But studying grammar in conjunction with a little bit of reading will help it stick better.

I'm level 2 and wonder if I should start grammar? Tips & Tricks

So I’ve been using the Tofugu guide to learning Japanese and they suggest starting grammar after you reach about level 10 so that you have a backlog of vocab to reference. I’m finding it hard to really understand the vocab without a background in how verb conjugations and different adjective types work though. I constantly mix up words like 下げる (to lower) and 下がる (to fall). Does anyone have advice for what helped them? I’m not that far in and it’s already becoming a headache but I don’t want to…

Level before starting on grammar/vocab programs? Resources

I thought I read somewhere on here that Koichi recommended holding off on grammar and vocab until around level 10 or so, but I can’t verify the validity of that statement… I’m already queued up to go with both Duolingo and/or Torii SRS. (Definitely prefer Duolingo after trying both). I believe both of those have more of a focus on grammar, so I’d like to supplement with something for vocab if anyone has any recommendations aside from flashcards. That being said - is the level 10 recommendatio…

Starting to learn grammar? Grammar

Well, I may have made an oopsie by not starting before now,but either way I’m not that far into Japanese anyway. So when I started learning, I was using tofugu as my guide to getting started (thus how I ended up on this amazing site), and in its suggestions it said I should get to level 10 of WK before learning grammar. However, while browsing the community, I’ve seen people say that you should start to learn grammar even before starting WK. So, my question is, should I start learning grammar n…

Am I ready to start learning grammar? Grammar

When should I start to learn grammar and language rules? Grammar

I have the second edition of Genki with the answers and also the workbook, but i’m not sure when should i star using it, because i was using it at the same time as wanikani, but i realized that most of the vocabulary at the beginning of the book that i didn’t know back then was the vocabulary i was going to learn on the next level of wanikani (lvl 5) so i decided to focus more on wanikani and set aside Genki. The thing is that now i dont know when i should start with Genki, any tips?

When should I start learning some grammar? Japanese Language

I just recently unlocked the japanese only forum for level 5 and above, and it looks like most people there already know the grammar rules. I’ve been wanting to learn the grammar but Tofugu (the guide ive been using to learn) says I should wait until I know about 1000 kanji? Should I wait until I know 1000 kanji or is it safe to start learning grammar now? If it’s safe to go ahead and start, are there any websites or apps that would be of help?

When to start studying grammar Grammar

I find that the guides from WK are kind of vague, some places it seems to suggest that you should start after you’ve hit level 10, and others it says after 20. What does the community think? Should I wait till I hit level 20 WK to begin with grammar, or should I just begin now?

When to start learning grammar? Grammar

Let’s say Wanikani is currently our only source for learning Japanese. At what level would I know enough vocab to practically be able to start learning grammar and start forming sentences? Let’s say using a website such as bunpro (which seems to be put together quite well).

When should I start learning Japanese grammar? Japanese Language

I know the official Tofugu site recommends picking up a grammar book at around level 10 or 20, but at the rate I’m progressing, that should be around March 2020. Do you think it’s alright for me to start learning grammar now (a tentative level 6), or should I wait? And if it’s alright for me to start learning, which book should I pick up?

When is it good to really start to focus on grammar? WaniKani

While I do know basic grammar, what level should I seriously start to practice outside of wanikani. At the moment I’m mostly focused on kanji and filling up my mind with vocabulary. I’ve recently downloaded the tae kims memrise grammar course but havent begun practicing as I’d like to focus primarily on leveling up my wanikani. I was thinking wait until level 15 or so then begin focusing more on grammar?

What WK level would be a good starting point for learning grammar? Questions

Hi =) I’m sorry if this has been asked before, but I can’t figure out the new forum, and I’m not sure what to search for tbh. I speak a handful of languages, and in all of them grammar has been something I learned alongside the vocab, basically standard classroom style language teaching. These languages have been fairly easy to learn though as most of them are related in some way or another, not only to my native language but also to each other, so grammar has been no problem for me. Japanese…

Beginner question on grammar Grammar

I was wondering at what point in my learning I should start learning some grammar and how to form simple and/or complex sentences, should I focus on getting a set amount of kanji learnt first? Or should I jump straight to basic sentences and sentence structure? If so what/where is a good place to start? I’ve heard bunpro is a good website but are there any other sites or alternatives I should/could also use?
