#trying to do the font but it wasnt too much . just like 30% of my power

[mezzaluca]

op you are in luck because i have so so many that i keep a discord server JUST to index them all. ill try not to list too many here though ^^;

writing/vocabulary

hiragana + katakana, from tofugu, also pronunciation

i cant really help too much with kanji, because i use a wanikani (a paid resource), but i do have a pdf of remembering the kanji. it teaches kanji by using memonics, which abroad in japan explains about.

if youre willing to do flashcards every day, there is an anki deck for the top 6k words. the tango n5 and n4 decks also give flashcards with basic sentences

i wasnt sure where else to put this, but the moe way has a 30 day guide to help you start learning japanese. even if you dont follow it, they also have a bunch of resources here

grammar

tae kims grammar guide is the most popular, but i have a few others that teach grammar:

beginners guide to japanese sentence structure

tokini andy's grammar lessons, following the popular textbook genki 1 (he also has lessons following genki 2, and the intermediate textbooks quartet and quartet 2)

cure dolly's organic japanese. if you dont like the videos, theres a fanmade textbook, which is basically written as a transcript with images)

game gengo isnt a full on guide, but he teaches grammar using lines from video games as examples, as well as talking about if certain games are good for learning japanese, or plays a small amount of some games while explaining each sentence. i like him very much <3

immersion

news articles in easy japanese

anime with japanese subtitles

most (i think) anime streaming sites also allow you to remove english subtitles. if not this one does

jo makos anime/games readability list, with some transcripts, anki decks, and so on. game gengo talks about studying with video games here

read manga in japanese, you can also switch between japanese and english at any time

free graded readers

japanese novels, also for free

free visual novels

you can buy novels/manga digitally from amazon.co.jp, but youll have to set a fake japanese address. just use a public location and you should be good to go. you can also get physical copies imported using your real address 90% of the time (in my experience)

pixiv also has a novel section and has both original works and fanfiction

misc

yomichan is a chome extention that allows you to hover over words to see their meaning, 10ten is the firefox equivalent.

make sure your font is correct, for kanji reading

japanese/english dictionary

miami university teaches you how to set up a japanese keyboard for windows 11 and macintosh, its the third one from the bottom

It’s 9 pm and I just decided that I gonna pick up Japanese.

I’m gonna take learning hiragana, katakana and some kanji really slowly to make sure I know them well before getting into the actual language. (I didn’t do this with 한글 when I was a beginner in Korean & I kinda rushed learning 한글 and I’m paying for it now with my terrible pronunciation and reading but I’ve definitely gotten better 😅😅)

That way I can also make sure to progress more in Korean and Spanish while not being too stressed out about another language.

I’m also not like insanely determined to learn Japanese as much as I am with Korean…. so obviously I’m gonna take it lighter than Korean.

I think Japanese will go pretty smoothly for me as Korean has nearly the same grammar structure (correct me if I’m wrong) and I’ve heard that knowing Spanish helps with Japanese pronunciation.

I’ve obviously expressed that I still suck at Spanish even after 3 and a half years of studying it, but I’ve been told my pronunciation is pretty good 👍

I think I’m also going to use Korean or Spanish to learn Japanese. So instead of translating straight to English, I’ll translate to either Korean or Spanish. (probably Korean because I’m better with Korean and the grammar is basically the same)

I’ve actually seen many polyglots do this method and they said it helps tremendously with learning a new language AND reinforcing the language they’re learning with, so why not give it a shot?

It was either Japanese, Thai or Indonesian and to be honest, I didn’t want to fool with Thai’s tones yet and I don’t have much motivation for Indonesian. Possibly in the future though ‼️

Anyway, if anyone who’s self-studying Japanese sees this, please recommend resources. I’ve gotten some resources piled up, but I always love to have multiple options because I’m picky about my explanations. 🙏
