do you have any recommendations for learning japanese? any handbooks, dictionaries, sites and such?
I will begin by saying that I am not the best person to ask this question. I am not fluent at Japanese and, barring some unfathomable miracle, I never will be. The time that I have for studying Japanese has become less and less in recent months, and it is not unlikely that I will be forced to give it up entirely in the near future. But I will answer this question to the best of my ability.
Of the four people who I knew of in person who were able to become fluent in Japanese extremely quickly, I partially learned of the tactics of two of them. One of them used an app named Yomiwa, which can be used on Japanese news websites to provide convenient English translations of the words that are used in the Japanese sentences. I have never used it much because it seems to be intended for people with more time on their hands, but this app is either free or easily affordable.
The other aforementioned person who became fluent I think used a website called Animelon, which has/had anime episodes with Japanese subtitles. I don't know whether it still exists. This person also recommended a light novel series that is titled "Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear", which apparently has Japanese sentences that are easy to read. This person, by memorising a minimum of 15 additional Japanese words a day, attained full Japanese fluency in ONE YEAR. A mind-blowing feat for someone who was in their late teens and didn't even live in Japan.
A free website for learning Japanese that was recommended to me years ago is named imabi dot org. I used it for learning kana, but not much after that. I felt that its explanation of how to write Kanji could have been better. I never made a serious attempt to learn grammar from it.
For another electronic option, try looking up Japanese apps for learning Kanji (漢字). These are mostly intended for Japanese children, but can be useful to any learners of the language. I don't think that any of these apps are free, but they should be affordable.
The following is all stuff that costs money.
The books that I was taught with were the "Genki" books and the textbook pictured below. The Genki textbooks and workbooks are for absolute beginners, and the workbooks also have an answer key book available. The pictured textbook does also have a workbook, but I don't think that that workbook has an answer key book for it.
Tumblr media
This book series is top-of-the-line for learning Japanese grammar, so look no further. They are quite expensive, but are worth every cent. There is also one for beginners, which is yellow, although the Intermediate one isn't all that hard to use. As you might expect, the Advanced one uses long and complex Japanese sentences with a lot of technical terms, so it isn't for everyone.
Tumblr media
I am not sure whether this book is still in print, but it is easily the most user-friendly large Kanji guide that I have found so far. Kanji are displayed in two columns on each page, and with plenty of compounds. Kodansha has other Kanji books as well, but this is the best one. It will be worth trying to find.
Tumblr media
I have mixed feelings about this one. Although it contains plenty of Kanji, many of the English translations that are provided for the words that use these Kanji are extremely inadequate. Worse yet, the definitions of each Kanji's meaning are written in Japanese, which is of no help to people who are still learning. The example sentences for how to use the words that have Kanji are mostly good, though, so I will give it that.
Tumblr media
Japanese children's books can also be helpful. This one has a huge number of useful Japanese nouns, and its lack of Kanji makes it a good option for beginners.
Tumblr media
In any case, though this is hopefully obvious, remember not to literally judge a book by its cover. A Japanese textbook that has pretty photographs or patterns or anime characters on the front is not necessarily going to be good for studying from. The one shown below is not bad, but there are better resources out there.
Tumblr media
I hope that this helped.

Last day of the week! Conversation class! Grammar was in a lecture hall with comfy seats but tiny tables. Watched a film for my friends' japanese animation class, Patlabor 2. Got a new app for finding kanji, Yomiwa.

do u know where to look for when there's a kanji u dont know?
I’m using this phone app called yomiwa~ You can draw the kanji in the app, so when there’s a kanji that I don’t know, I usually just try to write it there and see how to read it and what’s the meaning~ It’s great because they give you sentence examples and different ways to use it too, try it out! (I am in no way sponsored by it or anything, but I do love the app~)

Japanese language translation via a mobile app is a new type of learning trend
Japan is a beautiful country with its highly disciplined people and unique culture. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that learning Japanese is increasingly popular. Learning Japanese through apps is also a trend that people are interested in.
Learning on mobile applications has been one of the top trends for educational development in countries around the world in recent years. With the development of smartphones, learning applications and, in particular, Japanese translation apps are increasingly popular. According to a recent study by Learning House and Aslanian Market Research, about 67% of students now use mobile devices to take online courses. This number is even higher for mobile applications.
Students can use Japanese translation apps to learn new words anytime, anywhere.
Why use an app to translate Japanese?
Learning becomes simple and effective when you know how to apply technology equipment and virtual Internet environment to acquire real knowledge.
Save time: Students only need phones with Internet access to download applications to be able to study anywhere. There is no need to go to class every day, no waiting for the lecturer, no time to move to the classroom. Save maximum time for learners.
Suitable for everyone: Online learning through the application is no longer confined to college and university students, but it has also expanded from elementary to junior high, high school, worker. The only thing you need is a smartphone.
Increasing efficiency, saving costs: According to comparisons of traditional and applied learning, the same subject or the same field, learning on the phone application environment helps shorten the time by 40 - 60% of the time to complete all knowledge, saving from 50 - 70% of the cost.
Mobile learning has become an integral part of modern education today.

If anyone has any recommendations, please help the anon out! (´;д;`)
