Resoure I like:
My goal:
I recommened it if you:
I don’t recommened it if you:
It helps me reach my goal by:
Other reasons you like it:

For me:
Resource I like: Netflix
My goal: read manga
I recommend it if you:

  1. Want to watch Japanese TV.
  2. Want to improve your listening
  3. You like watching netflix

I don’t recommend it if you:

  1. You know less than 1,000 vocab words (by know I mean you would recognize them, not that you can write them and speak them)
  2. You need to understand everything
    -there are add ons to do this in Netflix, however I would recomend you start with text that can easily copy pasted for starting immersion if you are this kind of person.

It helps me reach my goal by:
1)Netflix in Japan has tons of anime with Japanese subtitles, and shows with Japanese dubbing.
2)By reading along at speaking speed I can’t get bogged down second guessing what anything means.
3) I’ve found the the video and tone helps comprehension.

Resource I like: JALUP
My goal: read manga
I recommend it if you:

  1. your goal is to enjoy japanese media.
  2. you want to think in japanese

I don’t recommend it if you:

  1. your goal is to pass a test or output.
  2. You want a right answer.
  3. You will study japanese for less than 5 years

It helps me reach my goal by:

  1. Jalup doesn’t have a right answer. The front is a sentence in Kanji, the back is the 1 word in that sentence that wasn’t on a previous card with a Japanese definition and furigana.
  2. this helped me enjoy immersion, which I can now enjoy without looking up every word
  3. There are vocab decks for 22 different manga.

Other things I like:

  1. customizable. Anki is very versitile. I added my own sentences to the Jalup deck and have changed the card template and added cards.

  2. Pay once and play. This will take you all the way from 0 to making your own cards from light novels with japanese definitions

3)All sentences are voiced by a Yuki, a Japanese person.

  1. contains an optional kanji light. learn 2,300 じょうようkanji EX
    Q: A 人 入 with the POWERちから of NINE KATANA
    A:力
    Q: A 人 入 with the 力 of NINEきゅう KATANA
    A:九
    Q: A 人 入 with the 力 of 九 KATANAかたな
    A:刀

This is the minimum so kanji no longer looks like hell scribbles.
