![]() WaniKani Level: 03 - I started about 3 weeks ago. It’s a bummer, and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way if/when they make it to Japan. It’s really biting me now because I can’t read a lot of the menus or pamphlets and such. I did NOT try hard enough to learn vocabulary or kanji during my first 3 years of Japanese. It’s just, understandably, a slow process.Īnd, I too, think grammar is just as important as WaniKani, or any method of learning kanji, don’t be like freshman in college me and just think that everything is okay to be in hiragana or that magically your brain will absorb the vocabulary from basic grammar work. ![]() So there are lots of things going on to get better. I laugh at past me not trying hard enough.) I’m going to events where I speak Japanese more often (even if I do sound like a stuttering child sometimes). I didn’t really think the different readings were important? (I was a DUMB baby guys. I bought two kanji workbooks from the Minna Nihongo line because I really just need the kanji practice as I never really learned how to learn kanji properly in university. I’m doing a lot of self-study while I’m abroad. But when I need to respond? God I sound like a bumbling idiot. I can read pretty decently (not if there’s a lot of kanji bc baby at lvl 3 here), and I can understand a lot if the native speaker isn’t too quiet or fast with their words (a challenge particularly in the Kansai area for me–that and Kansai dialect send help guys…). I write really well when given enough time. Also, ideally, I would like to reach N3 or N2 level while I’m here. Your Next Goal: My current goal is to continue WaniKani to learn kanji better, and to work on formulating spoken sentences better. Currently I’m working through “学ぼう!にほんご” (Manabou! Nihongo) and the green New Approach to Elementary Japanese textbooks at the behest of my Japanese professors here in Japan. ![]() However, my teachers didn’t use the books traditionally so I have no idea if I’ve ever completed them, though I genuinely don’t think I did. That being said I’ve completed 3 years of university level Japanese classes using Genki 1 & 2 as well as An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese. ![]() I’m a starter, go real harder, then burn out real faster kind of gal. Resources/Materials(Completed): I am not a finisher. Never taken a test because who has that kind of money? And also no car in America means no random December testing when I need to be working during the break for uni money. JLPT Level: Everyone keeps telling me I’m at JLPT 4, but in practice I would say JLPT 5. ![]()
