![]() ![]() On the other hand, this might be a bonus to some other people (like me, who want to understand the fine details). ![]() The only “problem” with Imabi is that it is a little on the technical side: it’s a tough read for a beginning learner, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with learning languages. More recently I discovered Imabi, which is a lot more thorough and arguably more correct than Tae Kim’s guide. I learned a lot of grammar from Tae Kim’s Guide, which is a friendly introduction to Japanese grammar. I also took time to learn the kanji radicals, which will help a lot with learning the kanji later. Forcing the characters to be used, meant that it was necessary to learn them. I decided to throw away my textbook and only use Japanese characters for Japanese writing. ![]() I found that writing things down will help a lot in keeping it in your memory, and it will also train you to have an eye for detail. The way I practiced is repeatedly trying to write the whole table from memory. ![]() There are 46 of each of them, so it will take a little more than learning the Greek or Cyrillic alphabet, but it’s not as bad as Chinese, which doesn’t have an alphabet. This is something I would very much advice against: the first step is learning the 平仮名 hiragana and the 片仮名 katakana, which is the basic alphabet that Japanese uses. I used to start learning Japanese from a textbook, but the book had all the Japanese written in romaji, i.e. I haven’t found any good German or French series to watch and that’s my preferred way of retaining a language (Deutschland 83 was great, haven’t come around to watching second season yet, though).įor the record, I support all your efforts and will pop up to cheer for you from time to time.įor anybody learning Japanese, here’s how I’m learning: I listen to kpop almost daily at work, it’s at a low volume so I don’t really listen to the lyrics, but it keeps the language “fresh” to my ears.I watch the odd Parisiang YT video, he’s fun and it feels a bit like a meta experience.But I won’t watch just for learning purposes. I watch kdramas regularly and try to at least recognize the words I’ve learned.I watch the odd Charlie Danger YT video, but a.Their site also has lots of good content (some free, some paid), but they also have some pretty old videos/ audio, I don’t know if they updated those during their recent site revamp. I watch the odd TTMIK YT video, I find the teachers likeable.I’ve subscribed to daily korean sentence by LearnwithOliver (the site seems like it has lots to offer to a more serious learner than me).I’ve subscribed to daily words in French, German and Korean by Transparent Language (I don’t use any other material by them).However, since I was so kindly invited, I’ll share what I’m doing to try to keep at least some familiarity with languages: I’m not actively learning any languages now, I’m behind in all my lessons and materials. The comments found on any large on-line bookstores are often incomplete and quite rough.īut let start with the idea for the moment to think better in future how can evolve this post. I never found an updated list of Go books made like this. I had had this idea originally for a different target material: Go books. It would be an incremental work and it should be made one table for each language otherwise it would be disorienting. The table should report a little image of the cover, title, edition/version, author, publisher, and - most important - a column with one or more comments from whom know that specific material and can give an informed and personal evaluation. Someone (not necessarily me) can create a table with known studying material (essentially, dictionary, grammars, books, and other learning stuffs). I was thinking to create a good reference guide on learning material for the community on any target language. May have been just wondering how to do it, but might not have had a particular post in mind ![]()
