Japanese Resources

This originally was supposed to be posted on my group on Minato-fg. Which is right here. But, this will do 😗.

Hey guys! Here are the websites that I recommend and I actually use.

----Grammar
1.  Genki: I honestly love this textbook. This is perfect for self-study and other schools this too.
           Genki 1
           Genki 1 Workbook
            Genki 1 audio
            Genki 2
            Genki 2 Workbook

2.   Remembering the Kana (Hiragana and Katakana)

3. Japanese from Zero: Just like Genki but, broken down way more. Great for Beginners and those who are at the level between Beginner and Intermediate

4. Erin's Challenge: More of a website that you can use to go over grammar and vocabulary with. Wouldn't recommend using this as a textbook

5. FluentU: Should be paired with another learning source, like Genki or Japanese from Zero

----Vocabulary
1. Memrise: the cheap and more portable version of Anki

2. Anki: regular flashcards (tbh I don't use this one but I've heard great things)

3. WaniKani: Focuses on radicals, kanji, and vocabulary (I use memrise to practice the stuff from wanikani)

----Listening
1. Pimsleur Japanese: Super expensive, I suggest going to the library getting the rest of these

2. My Listening Playlist (contains tons of commercials)

3. Japanese Dramas: you can watch them on Crunchyroll, Viki, etc. Here's a really good article on it.

-----Reading
1. Japanese in Anime and Manga: I like how easy the grammar and vocabulary is in these. The cultural notes are an added bonus.

2. Books made for kids: you can find these in the library and online.

----Resourceful websites
1. Tofugu: absolutely resourceful, Contains tips and reviews on other Japanese language learning products

2. FluentU: Sort of like Tofugu, except strictly Japanese language learning


This will also be posted on my back up blog, just in case lol.
