>>56242526>>56242616I would advise against grinding vocab in the sense of doing flashcards. If there's no context to the word and the act of you learning it, it'll end up having a harder time remembering it at all. Replace it with immersion and you're green.
General tl;dr method from any reputable guide:
- Get Anki, download a kana deck with hiragana and katakana
- Read the Tofugu kana guides for good mnemonics
- Read all of Tae Kim, skip examples because they waste time.
- Get reading, and also get ready to look up grammar points you've seen a gorillion times because it'll take a bit for it to settle in your brain
Append:
- Get ShareX and set up a hotkey for JP OCR, it takes 5 minutes and will save you hours of trying to search for kanji by hand
- Google TL has a phenomenal handwriting recognition system, useful for the odd time ShareX fails
- Watch Japanese-made clips (see: clips subbed in JP from JP channels, not ESL translation clickbaits), and tune into JP streams. Focus listen if you want to get better at listening to JP, don't try to split your focus between listening and other tasks, it'll plateau your progress, especially in the early stages.
Profit ensues. Repeat regularly and ignore DJT in all varieties; the thread is useless for anything other than its resources, and even the well versed people aren't worth sifting through the negativity and NGMI shitflinging for
