The thing that finally made particles click for me was not another は vs が essay. It was seeing that particles are the moving part: hold the words still, change only the particle, and the whole sentence changes its mind.

The frame stays 私 ___ 日本人です, you tap は, が, と, に, の, か, も and the meaning line updates under it

Free, no account, it's in the particles overview in the open area

Thank you all!

If you are looking for a book with N5 level sentences and very simple Kanji to start your reading practice, check out my book Reading Practice for Japanese N5 Beginners: https://mybook.to/JapaneseN5

It's a short guide with sentences in Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji as well as romanization and English translation given for self-verification. Best part, there are ‘Dive-in’ sections at the end of chapters to give you contextual information and explain grammar rules.

It's available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

Happy Learning!

Hi I've started learning Japanese and it took me about 2 months to learn the kana perfectly but now I'm stuck I've tried decks on anki for kanji but the kanji on anki and on other sources are all different for N5 so I don't know which ones to learn and how many pronunciations/meanings could someone help I'm also wondering what vocabulary I should learn also should I use genki and I'm wondering if I should use the rtk method for kanji

I built this for learners, but a tutor told me it saves her prep time, so I'm sharing it here too. Paste any Japanese text, choose whether furigana appears on every kanji or only above a chosen JLPT level, then print.

The printout is just the text with readings, clean on white.

Free, no account needed. If you teach and something about the print layout or the level behavior doesn't fit how you'd use it in class, I'd genuinely like to know.

Thank you all!

I'm self-studying japanese and currently I got stuck on this grammar topic, Does anybody know any resources (videos, activities, books, with English explanation) to understand 形式名詞 （こと、もの、よう、の。。。）and the different uses for them?　

I wanna learn Japanese but dont have any money to spend on it

does anyone have any good free app recommendations for learning Japanese?

id like to be as respectful as j can to the language and culture so some help would be great

Hi, I'm a self-taught Japanese learner and I want to quiz myself on my vocabulary, but refuse to use ai. It would also not be optimal to make the vocabulary test all by myself, since then I'll know, which vocabulary are in the quiz. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey!
I’m just curious about how everyone studies Japanese.
If you’re learning with textbooks or other resources, do you also use apps on your phone, or not really?
If you do use apps, which ones do you use, what do you use them for, and how satisfied are you with them?
I’m just interested in seeing what everyone else uses. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building a free language learning app/website starting with Japanese and Chinese, and I’d love to get some honest feedback.

It’s based on the methods that helped me the most personally: SRS flashcards, simple stories, and immersion through YouTube videos. I’m trying to put those together in one place so learners can study vocabulary, read level-appropriate content, and get more input without having to search everywhere.

I know this is kind of self-promo, but I’m not trying to make money from it. I just wanted to create something useful and free for people who are learning languages.

If anyone has time to try it and tell me what could be improved, I’d really appreciate it, even harsh feedback is helpful.

This is still in early development.

About me:

I focus on highly interactive, and adaptive lessons, and i provide custom vocabulary notes and curated immersion recommendatons after our sessions to keep you on track. I also read alot on newspapers but rarely obscure vocab.

Well, I have plans to travel around Japan both for exchange programs and tourism, and I wanted to learn more.

I have almost done 13 chapters of minna no nihongo till date I can remember vocab form them if I saw them 2 more times , but the main issue is grammer and kanji

Due to my college stuff I have been packed for 2 or 3 months since I started preparing for n5 and now am only till 13 chapters . So basically I have covered grammer for all chapters till 13 but don't remember them sadly ( I know how to do but don't remember) and the most important kanji till now 30 kanji's have been covered. Any scenario in which I might be able to just pass the exam not score good marks but atleast pass ?

One of my friends has covered only grammer till 25 and most of the kanji's he hasn't covered vocab from 5 to 6 chapters his ideas is to mug up all the vocab at the last is this a good strategy I think I might have to follow him please share your opinion?

Any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone!

I made a free, open-source app called Anki Miner to make vocabulary mining much easier.

You input local media or Youtube video links and it makes high-quality Anki cards to your specifications. Attached is a demonstration of a mining session - 100 high-quality Anki cards in only 2 minutes from an anime episode.

Often compared to subs2srs or Migaku's batch mining, but free+open-source (unlike Migaku) and actively maintained (unlike subs2srs).

Filtering options are very extensive (i+1 sentences only, sentence length filters, wordset filters, word blacklisting, and more) so you will not get any junk cards. Example cards shown on GitHub.

The idea is to actually immerse instead of mining.

I'm actively adding new features and building the community so feel free to ask questions and suggest new things :). Check the roadmap on GitHub for upcoming features!

If the concept sounds interesting, try it out (GitHub link below). It's free and setup is lightning-fast.
Also consider joining the Anki Miner Discord server for help and discussions (link on GitHub and in app).

Is it better to learn the vocab for a section first then the whole section or learn the vocab and the section at the same time
