After years and years (or better said, weeks) I have finally gotten around doing my Japanese language masterpost. All links listed are resources that I have used to study for (and pass!) the N5 exam, but they are great for beginners as wel! I would also like to thank lovely Julie @designstudy for giving me the inspiration (and motivation) to finish this mp! So here we go:
→ here are the books I’ve used to study and fully reccomend to others as well (all are great for beginners too)
Japanese for busy people: I, II, II
→life is hard, Japanese is harder, do yourself a favor and use mnemonics
►Kanji, Vocabulary and Grammar
→even if you don’t plan to take the N5, knowing these will definitely give you a better grasp of the language
►Practice, practice, practice!
→I cannot stress this enough. If you want to make any progress in studying this language or getting good scores on your exam, practice is vital!
Listening exercices for N5
→because the internet has a lot to offer and it’s a shame not to take advantage
Useful Youtube channels: here, here, here, here and here
Useful websites for grammar: here and here
The coolest Japanese dictionary out there
→some of my favorite Japanese artists, beacuse let’s face it: studying a new language is 900% better when you also listen to music in that language
→for when you want to chill but also learn
Read short stories in Japanese with translation
Watch literally any anime out there
→these are actually very useful w o w
All you need to know about counters
►Cool Japanese studyblrs:
→ these are definitely worth to stalk/follow!!

…and on a final note, some tips:
Be consistent. From my experience, Japanese is a language that if not studied constantly, can be easily forgotten
Use separate notebooks/folders for grammar and vocabulary. You will thank me for this one later.
