Hi everyone, This is my first post on here. As my profile probably gives away I’m currently on Level 7 expecting to hit level 8 in the next two days. I picked up the first volume of Yotsubato yesterday after having every few weeks read some pages of it online. I wanted to change my routine up a bi…

I’d say it’s fine to start reading any time. There’s vocabulary packs for the first two volumes to make reading much more smooth. The tough thing about Yotsuba is the slang. Watching lots of anime or being aware of how Japanese speakers shorten words helps a lot. It can also help to study grammar; …

Sorry to sound like a total noob, but these vocabulary packs are they on anki? Where could I find them? It is kind of nice seeing words recently introduced in level 7 pop up in the opening chapter even though they are fairly basic, I still felt good picking up stuff like 高校 and 夏休み. On a side note…

No matter what you’re reading, the best time to start reading it is now. This is of course under the assumption you have at least a basic grasp of grammar. If you keep putting it off, no matter how much more you understand, in your head you will go “but I still don’t understand this this yet” and ke…

You can read the first few pages on amazon.jp ( https://www.amazon.co.jp/よつばと-1-電撃コミックス-あずま-きよひこ/dp/4048690663 ) When you feel OK reading those you can take the plunge and read the rest!

I started reading manga when I was around N4 (that should be equivalent to lvl 16 on WK, I think? At least if you study grammar along) I mostly focused on stuff that I really liked, so I was really motivated to understand what was going on. I had to look up a lot of words at first, but the number o…

It will feel like advertising, but for a beginner (and also not-so-beginners), I really recommend starting with Satori Reader. Although people recommend Yotsubato as beginner level reading, it’s not THAT easy. In fact, I don’t think any manga is really beginner friendly, since they all contain a go…

Pre-study the vocab using the links already mentioned above. This way, you’ll know them already during your reading. Follow the conversation on the yotsubato discussion thread. It will help you a lot :relaxed: So yeah, it’s possible to read it now.

I think it depends on you. I’m on level 4 but I picked up yotsubato and love it so far. I only had 1-2 vocab words I needed to pick up per chapter, but I do have an okay vocab and can read children’s books without any problems. I noticed that it does contain a lot of slang, which might not be a prob…
