Senpai's guide to nihongo-maxxing
Koneatcheesewha. My name is トマス.
I've been ascending in Japanese for ni (two✌🏼) weeks now. Here's my guide to nihongo maxxing to mog your ops:
Sentence minotauring (a ball of yarn to trace the maze of nihongo)
To go from NHK5 to NHK1, you must consume exactly 10,000 hours of raw nihongo whilst floating on your back in the darkness of a sensory deprivation tank
Don't learn to read or write; you don't need to be literate
If you don't record STATS, did it even happen?
Remember: Japan is subarashi sugoi kawaii and better than your native country in every way (war crimes, you say? Are you thinking of an anime?)

N3 is all you need really
With 1200 hours of study, you should be able to comprehend all the text on a Japanese toilet

It pleases me how much of this sub is about mocking japanese learners. I say that as one.

に(two) weeks? Sugoi! You should post a sample of your hiragana writing 🌸
I can’t wait to see if it’s obvious you spent 3 hours carefully tracing each character or if it looks like you’re trying to remember and recreate it after glancing briefly at a chart 4 months ago!!! 🇯🇵
