KanaSpeed : Start learning Japanese Language

When I first started learning Japanese language, the sheer number of kana felt overwhelming, especially the tricky four brothers: シ, ツ, ソ, and ン. 😭 I hope these are some studying resources to make learning kana easy, so I developed this Android app.

This app features simple writing, recognition, and dictation exercises designed to assist beginners or anyone wanting to learn the kana. It can provide a new way to start learning hiragana, katakana, kanji and help everyone to start learning Japanese language.🙇‍♀️🙇

Created free website for myself for rapid kanji and vocabulary reviewing.

The idea is that you are already somewhat familiar with the kanji/vocabulary, this is just a quick way how to go through it with audio.

Vocabulary flip cards with audio and English translation:

I made cards with kanji that should have only one reading for given JLPT level and associated audio to it (used Nihongo So Matome books to find these kanji). So these will be kanji that I will learn first how to read. For some people this approach might be easier than remembering all the kanji readings.

I usually do these when I do not have a mood/time for my Anki reviews.

Now I review like 300-400 vocabulary daily with these cards (with Anki, that would be much slower for me).

I'm also using this YouTube immersion subtitle parser to inject furigana to my favorite podcasts.

It is a great way how to review lots of vocab effortlessly just watching my favorite content.

Site is free, open source, allows self hosting. No ads.

As an English speaker, interested in meeting Japanese people who play on PlayStation, is there a forum or means of making those connections? Thanks

Hello everyone!

I started a youtube channel where I try to teach Japanese in an entertaining way.

One of my videos is about learning Japanese with a Shinto shrine visit: https://youtu.be/heReHMaiIrw

My latest video is about learning Japanese with Japanese sweets: https://youtu.be/RiKhowSGGQM

There are also videos related to video games.

Kaitenji is a customizable SRS webapp that allows you to learn vocabulary, kanji, and grammar.

Tips

• For beginners to Japanese: A great place to start is JLPT 5 kanji or vocabulary. Go to the dictionary and then set the filters to JLPT 5 and Kanji or Vocabulary. Start studying down the list. If you are doing vocabulary with kanji, a great idea is to go to that vocabulary's more info page and then add the kanji that are in that vocabulary word to SRS.
• For intermediate to advanced: If there are kanji or vocabulary that you will never forget, add them to Eternal Slumber so that you never see them in reviews. If items are in Eternal Slumber, they will be hidden when searching in the dictionary with the filter "Not in SRS" applied.

Hello guys, i just recently passed N3 and I will be deployed in a month in japan for work. I am currently finding a good anki deck to memorize a lot of keigo words. Since I know that in a business setting keigo is really important. My anki deck is only composed of my own mining only.

I found this 4-hour video that teaches Spanish and was wondering if there are similar style videos out there for Japanese

I'm looking for 2 specific shows JPN subtitles with no luck on the usual sites (kitsunekko, etc) and was wondering if there were a way to find out if subtitles were ever created for them, for example checking the dvd or bluray release, etc. In this case, the 2 shows are NHKにようこそ and B型H系. Thanks!!

Here's the guide

Open to any feedback on how to improve it and make it more complete and useful

I listen to a lot in English, thought it would be good listening practice but having a hard time finding any?

If you're curious about how to say "I love you" in Japanese, it's not as straightforward as in English. In Japan, expressing deep emotions like love can be more subtle. Here are the main ways to say it:

• 愛してる (Aishiteru) – This is the most direct way to say "I love you," but it's rarely used in everyday conversation. It’s considered very serious and sentimental and even married couples may only say this to each other a handful of times!

So, know you know how heavy this phrase can be, you might want to instead start with:

• 好きです (Suki desu) – This is a more casual way to express affection and translates to “I like you,” but it’s often used to mean “I love you” in a lighter, more approachable way. You might hear this between people who are dating.
• 大好きです (Daisuki desu) – Adding “dai” makes it stronger, so this means “I really like you” or “I love you a lot.” It’s still a bit softer than “Aishiteru”

Have you used any of these phrases before, or do you prefer expressing love in other ways?

I created this website to help learn the basic symbols, it's got the tables and then a infinite quiz on the bottom just scroll down.
I'm happy for feedback, I will be adding a home page and some more features.
let me know what you think!

Hey everyone!

I found this free online resource for Hiragana and Katakana practice sheet.

It's pretty basic but perfect for beginners or anyone looking to brush up on their kana skills.
