Whether it’s super niche stuff that you think only you will be interested in, or stuff that you think has been done a million times before, there is art that only you can create, by virtue of being you!

I had a dream that I thought of a great post to write on here, but I can’t remember what the actual post was. I remember half waking up going “ah yes I’ll remember that” then fell back to sleep. And all day I’ve been trying ti remember what that was but nope, can’t remember

How do people only have their own posts on blogs and not spam reblogs. Like how. I don’t understand. I have to reblog everything I see or my brain chucks a hissy fit

our brains are seriously gullible. you will really believe whatever you hear yourself say over and over. please, stop, even in “good spirits” or being funny, please stop all of the self deprication. i won’t even type out examples, but whatever you say about yourself, you should know it isn’t true or helpful to keep reinforcing.

instead, look in the mirror and tell yourself positive things. “i am doing my best. i am worthy of love and support. i am a good person. i am beautiful. i am fun to be around.” whatever you need to hear. OUT LOUD. every day. you will start to believe it, just like you have started to believe all the mean things you tell yourself. you can’t always choose what others say about you, but you can definitely choose what you say and who you spend time listening to.

Sorry for the Japanese spam. Been trying to get back into it. Hopefully once I get on new meds I’ll be able to concentrate better

Studying Japanese: Resources! 

In lieu of a ‘how to study’ Japanese post, here’s a few online resources which have helped me with studying Japanese throughout the years. 

The resources listed below;

Range from beginner’s level to advanced level

Are appropriate for studying for the JLPT (N4- N1)  

Are appropriate for self study

Most are free, or come with a free trial period! (excluding textbooks. but trust me, i’ve got your back)

Essential Websites and Extensions

IN RIKAIKUN WE TRUST

Rikaikun:The one-stop shop for all your browsing needs. Hover over any kanji compound and this app will do all the translating for you. I found this incredibly useful for reading practice (esp. on news articles etc.).

Jisho.org: One of the best dictionaries out there. Sorts most kanji according to JLPT level.

Tofugu: A good general starting place to find resources and read interesting articles about Japanese culture, ex-pats working in Japan and Studying in Japan. They also have a special series on applying for the JET Program! 

Grammar

Particles? Verbs? Subjects? Conjugations? 

JGram: All grammar is sorted by JLPT Levels. A good overview of common grammar structures. 

Tanos: Also JLPT sorted  

Introduction to Japanese Syntax, Grammar and Language: a comprehensive overview for beginners

NHK World: Lessons from the Japanese Public Broadcaster NHK. Largely Beginner’s Level.

Dictionary of Japanese Grammar (beginners) (advanced)

Handbook of Japanese Verbs: Beginners guide. Very handy pocket size so great for revision for the beginner-intermediate level.

How to Tell the Difference between Japanese Particles: Comparisons and Exercises: something to help with those pesky particles! 

Writing (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji)

Learn your alphabet(s) gdi! 

Japanese Lesson

@ryohkei is a Japanese calligrapher who handwrites beautiful characters + stroke order and definitions. Very informative, given that handwritten kanji may differ from their typed counterparts. 

@kanji-a-day​

Practice Writing Sheets  

Charts (hiragana, katakana)

Networks

Get you in touch with other native learners!

Lang-8 

Hi Native 

RhinoSpike 

Forvo 

Renshuu.org 

Textbooks

Genki: perfect for beginners

Sou Matome: easy daily lessons and weekly review. All levels (sorted by JPLT level)   

Kanzen Master 

Tobira: highly recommended for those who are in the awkward intermediate - advanced plateau! Traditional Textbook format. 

Tanki Master 

500 Essential Japanese Expressions: A Guide to Correct Usage of Key Sentence Patterns: really useful for revision and to bridge the intermediate-advanced gap. 

This blogspot: Lifesaver. Just, trust me on this. Please. 

Multimedia (Youtube, Podcasts)

…because heck, learning a language is more than memorising charts and structures! 

Bilingual Chika! One of my favourites. She recently published her own textbook!

 Japanese Podcast 101

Watch Japanese TV at Jpopsuki
