I've been attempting to learn Japanese for about 2 months, I'm in no rush but so far I can read Hiragana and Katakana relatively quickly, very basic sentence structure like トイレはどこですか for example. I've been following Bunpo as a guide so I also know I know some words like 彼 or 彼女, 男の人 or 女の子 for example, as well as あなた and わたち honestly nothing impressive.
I'm sure this is pretty bad progress for 2 months but I know that I learn better practically rather than mindless learning, which is why I'm looking for some popular Japanese children's books which I can read online.
My idea is to crash through the book and essentially try and translate each sentence using only a dictionary and my current knowlege. I'm hoping that this will allow me to learn words in context as well as helping me to formulate sentences.
My hope is that if I have some sort of goal (like finish the book) then I will become more motivated to learn new words.
