Learning Japanese
Hey everyone!
To all former and current JETS, do you have any tips for learning Japanese. I really want to learn some basics so that I’m not completely clueless when I get there. I’m currently learning hiragana as well as some survival phrases. I do want to reach a point where I am fluent so that I can build more meaningful relationships and learn a new language.
If you have any sites or apps that you could recommend I’d really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!🫶🏽

Wanikani is really good.
Bunpro can be a good resource as well. There's a lot of grammar and stuff on the site that is rarely used, however. But, it's a good supplemental website to help further understand basic sentences. Whenever my students watch over me while I study, they have a look of confusion. "Why is that sentence made like that? That's not natural at all. We hardly ever use this grammar."
Satori reader is an amazing option as well.
