How do I create a roadmap for learning Japanese? The thing is I just don't have a lot of time because of my other studies. What do you think?
>>84298557can't you ask this on >>>/jp/ or >>>/int/ or something?
when you are learning japanese do you have 2 order thisss sailor moon top or whatever that is school girl outfit from ebay? its supposed 2 help you learn japanese better/faster???
>>84298557Learn the hiragana and katakana alphabets by heartLearn kanji radical parts/Learn basic kanjiRead furiganaLook up every word you don't knowhttps://jpdb.io/kanji-by-frequencyThere's so many sites to sort kanji by but this one I really like because of how they explain them to you and give examples of pairings. A lot of kanji has the exact meaning in Chinese too so it's like learning 2 languages in 1.
>>84298662Thank you for your quality reply. Does this account for grammar?
>>84298557Take an actual class if you can. "My other studies" implies that you're already a student and could probably take it for credit or whatever. There's no substitute for real life practice with somebody who can correct your pronunciation etc. You can go on to do self-study or whatever later but that initial class really helps.
>>84298753Actually I don't know much Japanese myself. I've only just tried picking it up again. There's a lot of simple Japanese words/phrases that tie sentences together that you've probably heard a lot like desu for thing/ it is, and ne for seeking agreement. Hai for yes, ie (Ee-eh) for no. It's probably best to learn these before kanji, though most of them are kanji and are just often written as hiragana. A lot of Japanese is an emotional and earnest understanding of the other person (since the language uses relatively few different sounds) so they draw out certain words to express intent and use common phrases. Each syllable (letter?) in a word is said at the same pace.
