Hey Everyone!
I hope everyone is doing great.
My studying has been going well. I'm getting more and more consistent these days so I'm really proud of it :3
The syllabus is sooooo much tho which is a bit overwhelming but hopefully it all works out. Also, I really recommend Nihongo no Tabi videos! They explain everything very clearly.

My kanji is terrible and I recently learned about the book by Andrew Scott Conning.
The Kanji Learner Course is an amazing book for learning kanji, the best thing about it which made me buy it was the fact that it explains how to remember every single kanji like a teacher.
I have only done till the first 100 kanjis for now but it's definitely a wonderful book!
I highly recommend buying it if you want a comprehensive kanji book.

Hey guys!
I got sick on my birthday and couldn't study for a few days rn I'm back on track doing some vocab these days!
The reword app is working great for me vocab is really stressful so it makes it just a tiny bit easier.
I hope all of you are doing good too! 🤍

Hello!
I did some grammar points recently, some kanji and a few vocabs!
I tried out this app called reword and I think it's the best flashcard app for Japanese vocab. Anki never worked for me but this does so I definitely recommend it!
It's cold in here but it's slowly warming up from today so hopefully it gets better soon.

Hi! Hope y'all are good.
My exams went great and I'm finally getting back on track with Japanese. I did a grammar point today, along with some 語彙 and 漢字!
It's definitely difficult lol but it's fun to study something else after so long! 🤍

I had got all the textbooks for N2 but needed some workbooks so I got these two! I've heard great things about them. The 500 問 is great for easy practice and the other workbook has great questions from all the sections!
I'll be starting the workbooks very later since first I have to do all the textbooks but I'm looking forward to them!

Hi!
I have been really busy with life and work for the last week so didn't get much time to devote to Japanese. I still tried to do the exercises from the first chapter which demotivated me in the beginning but later I found it easy to do!
I finally got some time today to finish those questions and I feel really proud. I got my period too so I got some ice cream for myself :3
Tumblr media
Got semester exams from the 26th so I'll be busy studying for that but I'll try my best to squeeze in some Japanese!
I hope all of you are doing great. ❤️

Hey!
Hope you are doing well. I too am an Indian in love with Doraemon. I kinda need guidance on how I should start learning Japanese. Would love to know your basic steps. Take care.
Thank you. <3
Hey! please feel free to DM me and I'll help you out! 🤍

Hey everyone!
I've been doing one grammar point each day and today I'm done with the third point.
Studying from the 新完全マスター is definitely challenging but it hasn't been impossible. It takes me around 45 minutes to one hour to do one grammar point which I know is a lot but then again it's better to take my time so I can properly utilise this book instead of just skipping through.

I'm going to do some 漢字 as well today since I have some time! I have University exams coming up soon for which I need to study too so till then I'm trying to do as much as I can.

Hey everyone!
I finally got my 新完全マスター 文法 book! I started off with the first grammar point. There's around 150 points in this book but I'm gonna take my time with them since I want to be thorough and careful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also checked my forest app progress for this year and honestly it was very disappointing since in 2022, I had 406 hours but this year I only had 160 hours. Hopefully next year will be better!
If any of you use the forest app and want to be friends to motivate one another, do share your account!

Hope y'all are doing great!
Haven't been able to study Japanese for a few days because of getting sick and drowning in assignments. But! I'm so excited to get my 新完全マスター 文法 book! It's coming in the first week of December :3
I also got the Vocabulary book cause I felt like the book I had already didn't do much justice to how much vocab is actually needed for the exam.
Tumblr media
The entire 新完全マスター series looks incredible and very thorough. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who really wants to pass the JLPT lol.
There's 368 days left until JLPT December 2024! Hopefully everything goes by smoothly. <3

Helloooo!
I've been revising some things from the previous levels for the past few days and now I'm starting with the N2 syllabus.
I got this book for the 漢字 & 語彙 and it's definitely interesting! Usually all the books I've done before have English translation but this has none which is definitely challenging but I think it will help me understand it better and absorb more efficiently.
I haven't done much yet just a few kanjis to understand how this book works and it's gonna be fun. 👾

ドラえもん has been a huge part of the childhood of almost every kid in India. I remember watching it everyday just living the best life without any worries.
Today, it is my comfort cartoon show. Whenever I have a bad day or can't sleep I put on some doraemon and relax. I use it as a Japanese learning resource too sometimes but the actual fun is always listening to it in Hindi which is my native tongue.
I'm always going to be grateful to 藤子 不二雄 for creating such a beautiful manga.

I recently purchased 新完全マスター for the 読解 section of JLPT. I've heard amazing things about this book and I've used a bit of the N3 version of it before. I'm honestly a bit nervous about it since it's a very difficult book but I'm sure it's going to be really helpful.
I got it from Goyal Publishers, I'd definitely recommend their site to anyone in India who would need books for any foreign language.
Enjoy this very blurry picture of the book with beautiful lights in the background since it's Diwali!
I hope everyone has a great festive season. 🤍

Before I start with my journey of excruciating pain and show it to y'all, I guess I should give a background.
I'm from New Delhi, India and I started with my horrible journey of learning Japanese two years ago with one purpose, getting a good job and earning lots of money. 🤡
And with that I officially sold my soul to the devil for wealth, the consequences of which I suffer everyday.
I've passed JLPT N5, N4 & N3 and I'm ready to deal with the daddy of them which is N2.
Japanese is my arch nemesis 🥰 it is a really difficult language, when I was studying for the N3 I got nightmares every time when I got the chance to sleep a bit.
However, when Japanese acts like a bitch, I bitch harder which is why, I'm gonna try my best!
So join me in my journey as I try not to lose my sanity studying this language.
