learnjp: sttudy: After years and years (or better said, weeks) I have finally gotten around doing my Japanese language masterpost. All links listed are resources that I have used to study for (and pass!) the N5 exam, but they are great for beginners as wel! I would also like to thank lovely Julie @designstudy for giving me the inspiration (and motivation) to finish this mp! So here we go: ►Books → here are the books I’ve used to study and fully reccomend to others as well (all are great for beginners too) Genki Minna no Nihongo Kanji Challenge Japanese for busy people: I, II, II ►Mnemonics! →life is hard, Japanese is harder, do yourself a favor and use mnemonics Hiragana Katakana Kanji ►Kanji, Vocabulary and Grammar →even if you don’t plan to take the N5, knowing these will definitely give you a better grasp of the language Kanji List for N5 Vocabulary List for N5 Grammar List for N5 ►Practice, practice, practice! →I cannot stress this enough. If you want to make any progress in studying this language or getting good scores on your exam, practice is vital! Reading exercices for N5 Grammar exercices for N5 Kanji exercices for N5 Listening exercices for N5 ►Grammar help →because the internet has a lot to offer and it’s a shame not to take advantage Useful Youtube channels: here, here, here, here and here Useful websites for grammar: here and here The coolest Japanese dictionary out there ►Music →some of my favorite Japanese artists, beacuse let’s face it: studying a new language is 900% better when you also listen to music in that language Kenshi Yonezu Daoko Utada Hikaru Mondo Grosso Ichiko Aoba Galileo Galilei ►Fun stuff →for when you want to chill but also learnRead short stories in Japanese with translation Read raw manga Watch literally any anime out there Watch J-dramas Watch Ghibli movies Watch Japanese movies ►Some tricky stuff →these are actually very useful w o w Wa vs ga Shi or tsu?

From my experience, Japanese is a language that if not studied constantly, can be easily forgottenUse separate notebooks/folders for grammar and vocabulary. You will thank me for this one later.If you want your kanji/katakana/hiragana/whatever it is that you are writing to look neat, follow the stroke order ! ! ! Quizlet is your best friend when it comes to remembering vocabularyHope this helped someone!! Also if you have any questions/need some advice on where to begin, please don’t hesitate to hmu @sttudy -Claudia☆☆ Thank you so much for the shout-out, and I’m so glad to hear that you passed the N5 exam!
