I found I knew about 80-90% of the vocab in it, so I only have to review the ones I didn't know. Or sometimes I half-knew it, from Wanikani. That is, if it had been written in kanji, I would've gotten it, but the hiragana threw me. :)\r\n\r\nI like it because:\r\n\r\n1) It's small. Nice portable book.\r\n\r\n2) Each vocab word is used in a sentence, so I can get a lot of sentence-reading practice too. Actually, I feel like I should star this. Because it was nice being able to read sentences I could understand that weren't entirely dumbed down.\r\n\r\n3) It has a red card in it that you can place on the pages and it covers up the vocabulary. So you can see the English and you can see the Japanese sentence with a blank in it where the word goes.\r\n\r\n4) The quality seems really good. Some of the English I might've worded differently. And sometimes I'd wish for more of an explanation, like 'this is only used for people' or 'this is only used for objects'. But I caught only one thing that I think was a mistake. (It translated じてんしゃ in a sentence as 'train' in the English, but it said 'xe đạp' in the Vietnamese, so I think that was mostly a typo.)\r\n\r\n5) Price seemed reasonable at 1404 yen.\r\n\r\n\u0026amp;#x200B;\r\n\r\nAll the kanji has furigana, at least at this level of book.

I'd guess it should be more painful than learning English due to conjugations and highly irregular grammar, so you probably shouldn't do it straightaway.\r\n\r\nI'm currently starting to learn Japanese, and for that language people suggest going through [two books](https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Vocabulary-Words-Language-Proficiency/dp/4872179811/) with simple sentences first (right after drilling the kanji, which is where I'm still at) to get the basic vocab and the basic feel for the grammar. Some other people are suggesting completing a [beginner-level textbook](https://www.amazon.com/Genki-Vol-1-Textbook-3e-ed/dp/4789017303/) first (again, to get familiar with basic language patterns).\r\n\r\nThis advice probably translates to Russian somehow. You can try asking around in the [Refold's discord](https://refold.la/join/): there you can click a button on the front page with a Russian flag, and they will add you to the group of people learning Russian (I clicked the Japanese one, and got added almost immediately).

I think i'm going to either hire a tutor online or go to my local university and take a class or 2 (which is suprising b/c my local University is quite small but they still offer classes in japanese)\r\n\r\nOverall tho, I think i'm making pretty decent progress considering that i'm self teaching myself and i'm only 3 months in.

There's a lot of kanji in RTK 1 that you won't need to know for a long time, like 栓 cork, 膳 small dining table, 葛 kudzu (usually used in names), etc.  Just learn those later whenever you come across them in the wild, as you will eventually see them, but they aren't helpful for beginners.\r\n\r\nYou can do the  [RRTK deck (contains 1250 cards)](https://www.mediafire.com/file/1svvsr7f9cnpwka/Recognition_RTK.apkg/file) which teaches you the 1000 most common kanji and includes 250 primitives and extra kanji in order to smoothly learn, RTK order, those 1000 most common kanji. At 30 new cards per day, you can finish in just over a month. At 15 to 20 new cards, it'll take you around two months or less.\r\n\r\nMy suggestion is to also read the associated chapter in the Remember the Kanji book that matches the kanji you are learning. He explains how to do RTK and create mnemonic stories and goes over the primitives he uses. You eventually able to apply those memory-learning skills to kanji not even in RTK (as some really common kanji aren't in RTK 1 or RTK3). \r\n\r\nThere's also a [shorter version, the  RRTK450 deck](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1561461108), which contains only 450 kanji of the most common kanji.\r\n\r\nFor learning vocab, you can do any of the beginner vocab decks, after you complete RRTK or maybe halfway into RRTK. Up to you.\r\n\r\nIf you want to some easy reading practice as you learn basic vocab (around 2k words), then do the Tango N5 and N4 decks (download them from Ankiweb; just google it) which are based on the [Tango books](https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Vocabulary-Words-Language-Proficiency/dp/4872179811).  It has the sentence in the front of the card (although you could flip them if you want), and the sentences are simple. \r\n\r\nIf you just want to quickly learn the vocab only, do the [DJT Core2.3k deck](https://anacreondjt.gitlab.io/docs/coredeck/), which has only the word in front (and sentence on the back). It uses a different collection of words, but they are similar. \r\n\r\nAfter you finish and know  around 2k words, then you can sentence mine from your immersion material (books, tv shows/anime, manga, VNs etc), searching for +1 sentences where the sentence contains one thing you don't know (usually the unknown element is a word, but it could be a new grammar concept, a new usage of a word you already know, etc). \r\n\r\nWhen you come across new kanji, just learn it along with the word. No need to make a separate card for the kanji. At this point, you should be able to pick apart any new kanji on your own because you know RTK's primitive and mnemonic system. \r\n\r\nIf you have trouble learning the kanji and want to learn it separately, you can use something like the [Migaku Kanji God add-on](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1872210448)  which can auto-generate kanji cards for you, based on the words you are learning.  \r\n\r\nI mainly like that add-on so it keeps track of the exact kanji I have learned (you can have it scan your decks). \r\n\r\nNote: Some people skip RTK and go straight into vocab learning. If you have a good memory, especially visual-based memory skills, then you can try skipping it. \r\n\r\nI personally couldn't learn that way and struggled in the beginning, so doing some RRTK helped (I did the RRTK 1250 card deck), so it depends on the type of learner you are. \r\n\r\nKanji no longer looked like indecipherable blobs to me and I could pick them apart and made it easier to differentiate between similar-looking kanji.  \r\n\r\nGood luck!","subreddit_name":"ajatt","author":"UltraFlyingTurtle"},{"body":"Tae Kim's [grammar website](https://guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/basic) is free.\r\n\r\n[JLPT Tango N5](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%AF%E3%81%98%E3%82%81%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AE%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E%E8%83%BD%E5%8A%9B%E8%A9%A6%E9%A8%93-N5%E5%8D%98%E8%AA%9E1000-Hajimete-Nouryoku-Vietnamese/dp/4872179811) - Cost about $15 (get the kindle so no shipping is needed).

They have good audio recorded by a native speaker. However, I got about halfway through and things started getting confusing. n+1 is great when you mined the sentence yourself and you already put in work to go figure out the thing you didn't know yet - so it's more of a reminder. But n+1 cards aren't really a great medium to actually _teach_ you grammar. Sure, it works, you start seeing patterns, but as you progress towards more complicated concepts, it get feel frustrating.

And I soon after dropped jalup because I felt I could progress faster by just doing vocab on its own and using Genki for grammar. But, I might go back and go through them later to help review after I finish Genki.\r\n\r\nImo these would be good if they were priced at like $20-$40 per deck. Grab a deck for $40 or so that covers genki 1 and 2, and use it to practice grammar after you finished Genki. That wouldn't be a bad way to practice, if you really hated sentence mining and wanted to pay for a preset deck to get you started.\r\n\r\nSo yeah, I think it's a quality deck, but fairly inefficient to learn grammar from. Given that, it's certainly not worth the price. I agree with the other poster - 単語 series with nukemarine's deck is better and cheaper. However, it doesn't cover nearly as much grammar as jalup.
