      A Korean acquaintance of mine has acquired enough Japanese language skills to catch up with Japanese conversations in two years.
      All he did was talk to the Japanese.
      Some people can't do that, so I think it's better to watch dramas and anime and repeat them aloud while understanding the language!I think kanji has a low priority!

It is indeed a life-long journey and you might feel like giving up, but every study session ads up and it will be worth at the end! Even if my career has nothing to do with Japanese, studying it has indeed have a big influence on who I am today, so みなさん,諦めるな!初心を忘れずに頑張ってください!

      @@madimanzz I'm a little reluctant to answering this question because everyone's journey it's different when it comes to language learning and comparison is indeed the killer of joy. But to give you a timeframe, I started studying at 14 and passed the N1 at 22. I have never lived in Japan and I'm mostly self taught. I would also like to clarify that until this very day I still learn Japanese. It has been years since I opened a grammar book, but I read Japanese novels for pleasure everyday and keep studying kanji. Learning a language never ends, so enjoy the trip!

      I love English and I love everything about foreign languages. I don’t know why but something about it is really fun for me. I’m still trying to learn English, Japanese and Spanish and it’s really difficult since it affected my vocabulary growing up. Sometimes I would suddenly speak Spanish or English to my Japanese friends on accident. It’s really difficult and sometimes I feel disappointed that I’m not good enough at any of these three languages, but I’m trying so hard. I’m trying my best to become a translator, or any kind of jobs about languages.

    I appreciate the mix of books and apps. I think this should keep learners motivated so they don't get tired of using just one resource. For learning the writing system, it seems like hand writing (or on a tablet) is crucial, so those workbooks for kana and kanji practice would be invaluable so you have good direction instead of just using a blank notebook.
    Thanks for the tips!

Your voice and the friendly way you have to talk to people are so kind and inspiring. Jazmine, thank you sooo much. I hope the best to you.

      @@zsualite7984 True, learning vocab is hard, and the key is in repetition. What I often do is watching Japanese anime/movie/show to learn daily used vocab through listening and speaking. Then for most textbook vocab, I learn it by heart and make sentences with it to put new words into a recallable context. I also read short passages/manga/news in Japanese to learn and review new words through reading. Lastly, I revise things I just learnt with Anki app (you can search this app online). Idk if this help but I wrote an article about resources I used to study Japanese here: theancientcarrot.wordpress.com/2021/07/10/how-i-get-from-nnowhere-to-n3-level-in-japanese-proficiency-within-6-months-materials-resources-study-plan/ if you're interested, you can give it a look

    You’re awesome because you’re studying Japanese in a variety of ways! I respect you. Even Japanese spend over 8 years learning Kanji in school education, so I think you don’t have to be in a hurry to learn it. I think learning Kanji gradually (like: read and write 10 Kanji every day) is the best method. I’m a junior high school student yet, but after watching this video, I decided to study English like you! Let’s do our best together.

    私はとても簡単に日本語を学びました。放課後はいつも、書くこと、単語を発音すること、読むことの3つのことを練習していました。とても楽しかったです!

    i struggle with learning this language consistently on a daily basis, i've had random sprints of studying over the course of like 4 years and i know close to nothing. im hoping to actually stick to a regiment so that i can finally be conversational 😖

      I struggle with homework and forcing myself to study everyday so I'm just making sure I at least watch a video like this on CZcams or watch an anime and actively try to hear words and look up kanji I don't know. Might be a lot slower than doing textbooks and flashcards two hours a day but slow is better than no.
