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.

Hi everyone!

Hope you’re all doing well. My team and I have developed a new tool to help you prepare for the JLPT. Once you log in, you start with a diagnostic test, which then unlocks personalized training designed just for you. We're excited to hear your thoughts and are looking for feedback to make it even better!

If you’re interested, please drop me a DM, and I’ll send you the link!
Thanks so much! 😊

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.

It has stroke order guides and practice grid for writing.

がんばって!

Happy Studying!

I am trying to create a WebApp for practicing Kanji.

For now, I am creating an app like Kanji-Practice-Sheet.
It is still in the making, but I temporarily released the app.
https://shun-yana-soft-dev.github.io/sample-kanji-practice/Kanji/practiceSheet

What do you think about this type of app?
I hope to get some feedback.

App Usage:

• When using PC

[the left button of mouse] : writing(drawing)
[the right button of mouse] : moving the page
[mouse wheel] : zoom in and out

• When using mobile

[swipe with a finger] : writing(drawing)
[swipe with two fingers] : moving the page
[pinch in and out] : zoom in and out

Duolingo, Anki, WaniKani, Pimseleur Audio books.

What do all these have in common?

They are not HUMANS!

I'm sure a lot of you have studied a language and done many flash cards for months and when you're in front of a person who speaks that language.. for some reason you can barely understand them.

Learning a language with a human who is speaking to you is the best way to fill in the 'understanding/listening' aspect. When you're going from one Anki flash card to another.. isn't that kinda lonely?

Some people solve this by watching 'Study With Me' content, but you're just creating an illusion to trick yourself into thinking they are studying with you, when the reality is they are just posting those clips, making money, and you're sitting in your room, all alone 🥲

Now you may say, "private tutor?? it ain't cheap"

I found that the Japanese free bootcamps on the language study marathon discord server tends to incorporate human interaction + (most importantly) community/social Experience.

To get to their discord server, just go search their youtube channel "language study marathon".

Does anyone have any good OCR Reader recommendation for IOS apps? Bonus points if free :)

I've been reading manga lately and it's been a pain having to look each word up by radicals of by drawing the kanji. I wish I could just point my camera at it and it would do all the work.

Thanks!

Looking for bitesize chunks of Japanese to learn, jlpt n5 preferred not necessary though. For example "all jlpt n5 katakana words" - just 61 in total. That's a nice amount in one go. Could be anything kanji, grammar, reading, listening, vocabulary, speaking, pronunciation, anything anyone can think of all suggestions welcome.

Hi!
I’ve developed a free website, without ads, for learning languages by watching videos from YouTube and local storage. You can watch videos with two subtitle tracks and create flashcards with words you don’t know. Flashcards can also include whole sentences translated by DeepL and explanations from ChatGPT. These cards can be reviewed on the website or exported to Anki. Currently, there are 18 available languages, including Japanese. Key features include:

• Compatibility with any modern browser without the need for installing add-ons or any other software.
• A mobile-friendly interface.
• The ability to add images to flashcards for improved memorization.
• An offline and cloud video converter for videos that are not supported.
• A recommended YouTube video list (200+ videos in Japanese)
• Pitch accent of words.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions. 😺

Something that shows how to write the characters step by step, like this on Kanji Alive.
