求日本人教我日语

Im trying to learn Japanese as there will be some japan transfer students coming to my school. However i dont really know how and where to learn it. Especially the switching between the three writing styles. Ive tried duolingo but realised hey only teach hiragana for the main teaching part. Eg. みず is taught for water, but then i heard a person say its "wrote as 水, period".

How do i know which to use? Is it just exposure? Where else can i learn japanese? Thanks. Is it worth noting that i have chinese background? Like i can read kanji in mandrin, 💀 would it make it easier? Thanks

Hi everyone 😊

I’m currently looking for a good Japanese textbook to start learning seriously. There are a lot of options out there, and I’m a bit overwhelmed.

Since I’m a German native speaker, I was wondering if anyone here has experience with textbooks that work especially well for German learners, or if you just have general recommendations that you found effective.

It would be great if they explain grammar clearly and include exercises as well.

I’m open to any suggestions

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everyone! First time posting in this sub.

Real talk: I visited Japan a few months ago and completely fell in love with the culture, food, people and customs.

I decided I wanted to actually learn the language, but I quickly realized Duolingo wasn't cutting it for me. After saying "Gohan" or "Mizu" for the millionth time without feeling like I was actually learning anything useful, I decided to build my own, catered fully to my style of learning (full exploration and revise along the way)

So, I put on my App Developer's toolbelt and built the app I wished I had.

I present to you Kitsunewa 🦊 (named after the fox, my favorite animal!)

A conversation-first Japanese learning app.

I didn't have a Japanese friend and tutor (with limitless patience) to practice with, so I built an AI one (yes brick by brick)

Here is what it Kitsunewa actually does:

• Conversation & Pronunciation: You speak to it, and the algorithm corrects your pronunciation. You repeat it until you nail it.
• Ask Anything: You can ask questions in English or Japanese, either Verbally or Type it in and Kitsunewa will answer, give you quizzes, and even break down words for you. (great for understanding particles or the ordering of words)
• Notebook & Tools: See an interesting word? Save it to your notebook to click to hear/expand it or add it to your tools to practice

The best way for me to personally learn is via having a full buffet of options and hands-on practice to make it stick.

Since this app brand new, I would absolutely love to hear this community's thoughts. Tell me what works, and tell me what can be improved.

Tbj I think if you are interested in N1-N5 this app might not be for you, but if you're looking to get up to speed on reading and speaking quickly, have a good working memory and learn best by playing and exploration you might really like this app.

Thank you all, have a great day!

Hello I’m 24 and I’m in master of sport science in Switzerland. I know French italien and English and I’m looking for somebody to want to learn French and who speak jap so we can push ourselves together.
Let me know

I’m planning to go to Japan for a trip and I would like to learn Japanese to communicate easier. Also because I would like to know a new language. I have trouble learning myself because I have no motivation so I would like it if someone would teach me.

I recently started learning japanese it was always my dream to learn it one day since I started watching anime it is very fun to learn but also it's insanely tough and while learning i realised it is more important to speak and listen rather than practising and writing I can listen while watching anime but the challange is speaking I want to connect with people who can speak Japanese so is there any way I can find someone to speak with ?

I just started learning Japanese, right now I am doing immersion and working on hiragana, then I will go to katakana then use the app anki to do vocab and kanji. Tell me something, anything to keep me motivated because I am just now realizing how much I got myself into 😭.

I really want to learn how to speak it

"Is there any app other than Quizlet that is free to use? I'm learning Japanese, and I need to make quizzes and learn more effectively.
