皆さん、

ようこそ、これはチャポでの初めての日本語の練習スレ。

このスレ内に何でものことについてを喋ってください。

遠慮失いで！　٩(๑òωó๑)۶

日本語を話しできないでば、それは結構です。英語で、「日本語で○○をどう言ってますか」とか問い掛けます。

では、始めましょうか？

English: Everyone,

Welcome to the first Chapo Japanese practice thread.

Don't hold back, talk about anything you want.

It's fine if you don't speak Japanese, just ask stuff in English, like "How do I say XX in Japanese?"

Then, shall we get started?

For the reading group: 銀河鉄道の夜 (Libgen - Night on the Galactic Railroad - Japanese / English Dual Text)

    Yeah, I'll be making a Beginner's how-to for learning Japanese.

    Spaced repetition tools are your friend here - Personally, I got my start with the Genki Anki deck, which I'd say in combination with skimming the book is enough to get you to the point where you can really start getting into learning from media.

    What sorts of studying have you done so far?

      I've been trying to familiarize myself with hiragana and katakana (along w/ some more common kanji), I'm at a point where I can read simple sentences at the very least, though with a good bit of difficulty. thats mostly a memorization problem though, I think. Really makes language learning difficult for me-

      Most of my studying has been me just... brute forcing it tbh??? its a horrible way to learn, but without any proper means it was my best bet

      This helps a lot though, thank you again!!

        Yeah, Anki will be right up your ally, especially with really learning hiragana and katakana. Practice just consistently recognizing characters at first, then be sure to practice physically writing the characters - took me a while to realize, but they are two different things. Anyways, writing will help you re-enforce your recognition.
