Weekly discussion and small questions thread

In response to user feedback, this is a recurring thread for general discussion about learning Japanese, and for asking your questions about grammar, learning resources, and so on. Let's come together and share our successes, what we've been reading or watching and chat about the ups and downs of Japanese learning.

The /r/Japanese rules (see here) still apply! Translation requests still belong in /r/translator and we ask that you be helpful and considerate of both your own level and the level of the person you're responding to. If you have a question, please check the subreddit's frequently asked questions, but we won't be as strict as usual on the rules here as we are for standalone threads.

  1. I tried learning Japanese a few years ago but stopped very early on. Now I’m trying again, starting from nearly nothing.

    For some reading practice, I’m playing Pokémon Ruby in Japanese. I’ve also decided to use this to learn vocab since I have a lot of background knowledge on the game in English. The game is written only in kana, so when I’ve learned words, I’ve also looked up the kanji for them.

    My first real word that I learned from playing was 種. I learned it mostly through knowing the context in english, but I still felt pretty proud of myself. Im excited for more of these moments to pop up.
