  1. Hey, I’m currently studying the Kaishi 1.5k deck, and have completed about 60-70% so far. I would like to take a JLPT exam soon, probably N3, and hopefully N2/N1 in the future, as I’m thinking about moving to Japan sometime this year, and it should be beneficial. I already speak a fair bit of japanese due to immersion, and speaking it daily, but I’ve only started studying Kanji with the Kaishi deck a few weeks ago. Do you know any good decks that go through the N5-N1 kanji in order, so I can work through those daily as well? I’m sure there will be quite some overlap, but the additional practice won’t hurt, or I can suspend those cards maybe. I’d also prefer studying them with words, instead of just learning the readings.

  2. Can someone help breakdown what conjugation(s) is going on here?

  3. Hey Guys. I started studying Japanese about two weeks ago and am feeling pretty comfortable with Hiragana so I decided to start Katakana today on Anki. I’m having a problem with Anki not accepting my answers in Hiragana however. The Katakana that it had me start with is the special combination sounds such as にや. However when I put this, it says it’s wrong and says I put in a different sized や. I know there is a special っ to extend the consonant sounds but is there a special や too? The picture shows what I get.

  4. I want to start renshuu, I’m probably N3 or N4. I took courses a decade ago (using Youkoso) but I’ve just self studied since. Renshuu is asking me which book I use — should I just choose Genki and start at the first chapter that has new material to me?

  6. Different question on Renshuu: Why is it showing me 指輪 in hiragana instead of kanji as a vocab word? Can I change that?
