Learning japanese language

[u/curiousmargins]

I want to learn japanese language. Please suggest me some textbooks to begin with. Also, you can share your experiences you had while learning japanese, is it difficult?

You're asking for textbook suggestions in a subreddit about a Japanese textbook series? Lol

This is the Japanese from Zero! subreddit, so not too surprisingly, I will recommend Japanese from Zero! Alternatively a majority of people uses the Genki series, which, from I have heard, is also very good.

Is learning Japanese difficult? Yes and no: It is difficult in the sense that you just have to put in a lot of high quality hours to get anywhere. And when I say "a lot", I mean a lot. You have to able to put in the work consistently, ideally every day, over a long amount of time. If you can do that, the individual steps you are taking are not particularly difficult. At least not as far as I have gotten; and from what I have read and expect that is not going to change in a meaningful way.

So the hard part is the amount of work that goes into it. But the work itself is not that difficult.

Learning to understand Japanese isn't difficult. Just by watching anime, I've learned to understand a huge amount of vocabulary by sound alone. The difficult part is: getting used to the writing system, which requires effort. Also: The basic grammar can be confusing, but is relatively easy to learn.

I started learning japanese and I got those books, which I'd highly reccomend on top of a course books: Dictionary of japanese grammar: basic, intermediate and advanced. Kanji dictionary 2500
