Frequently Asked Questions:
*many other methodology questions have responses on my discord

・How long have you been studying?
I studied very slowly and casually for 3 years focusing mainly on learning to write kanji, basic grammar, and basic vocabulary however these past 4 1/2 years I've spent a ton of time on Japanese and figuring out how to acquire and retain the massive amount of vocabulary needed to understand the language while building a database for Japanese in the software Anki.

・Where can I download your Anki decks?
I have not uploaded my Anki decks anywhere that they'd be available for download but I'm open to the idea. I'm not sure how I'd want to go about this though. Also, before releasing them in any way there is a lot of tidying-up I'd want to do first which would take a lot of time. I'll keep this idea in mind.

・Why do you study Japanese?
I study Japanese because I love the media and culture and because I think Japanese is a great vehicle to learning new information in general since it has kanji which are pictures I can use to learn new words and concepts and it has a very easy pronunciation system. I hope to find a full-time career using Japanese in the future.

・What JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) level are you?
I have no idea since I have very little interest in the JLPT tests as a measurement of how good one is at Japanese. I have never taken one of these tests before but I may take them in the future either just for fun or because I need to in order to get a job.

・How much Japanese have you learned?
I've learned to recognize and understand all beginner-advanced grammar (as far as I know), am familiar with 18062 words, can recognize 3014 kanji, and can write 1224 kanji. I can understand a good amount of what I read and hear but I have little to no speaking experience.

・Where do you live?
I live in New York in the United States

・What resources do you recommend?
The books listed below are my recommendations. I also recommend when just starting as a beginner you use a standard Japanese textbook (whichever looks the most fun to you) that teaches in lessons such as Genki, Tae Kim, etc. in conjunction with the grammar dictionaries.
・All About Particles by Naoko Chino (learning particles)
