Hi everyone!
I've been learning Japanese for almost 4 months, and I'm considering adding another app to my current resource stack.
Problem:
I'm very happy with my current stack, but there's a discrepancy in my grammar. While I understand the structure, I really struggle with conjugating Godan verbs—て-form, potential, etc.
Context:
– I'm around N5 right now, about 260 kanji characters in, and 1,000+ words (my best guesstimate), but I can already understand and use some N4/N3 vocab and grammar points.
– I try to learn using my phone as much as possible to keep my daily practice sustainable. I use Minna no Nihongo only to gauge where I'm at from time to time.
– I have 1 dedicated hour in the morning and small sessions totaling 1–2 more hours spread throughout the day.
Current stack
– JapanesePod101: My main source for grammar and vocab
– LingoLooper: To practice speaking
– WaniKani and Mazii: Kanji
– Anki: Vocab and grammar (using cloze)
– ChatGPT: For ideas and additional explanations
– Watching Japanese media before bed
Tools I'm considering
– Bunpro
– LingoDeer
I'm wondering if these two are worth the sub, considering my goals (grammar drills!). I'm also learning Spanish on the side, so I'm curious to hear what you think about LingoDeer! I'm leaning towards Bunpro right now, but I’m wondering if there are better options out there.
If you guys have other recommendations, please let me know! I really think this is the missing piece in my resource stack!
