...I am in need of a study buddy. My friend backed out since she has other priorities and the session I’ve had for two weeks with another group has just ended.

18.08.17 - JP Studies 01 

The weather was volatile today. It was bright and sunny at 12pm, hail at 1pm, windy at 2pm, thunderstorm at 3pm and then sunny with light rain for the rest of the day. I figured I would get out of bed  I finally began to actually start self teaching myself Japanese. I’ve been doing it on an off for a while, mostly by anime/drama’s/jpop, and occasionally using memrise, but I never bothered to actually learn it until today (go me lol). Started from scratch with re-learning hiragana, vowels, K’s and S’s.

:3 what textbook do you use for your japanese studies?

hi!

i used the yookoso books:

yookoso: invitation to contemporary japanese (textbook + workbook)

yookoso: continuing with contemporary japanese (textbook + workbook)

but they are quite expensive, you can typically expect to pay $390 for each set online (i bought mine for about $180 because they were a required text). they might be available for cheaper, if you look hard enough! you can get away with just using the textbook but the workbook is good for hiragana/katakana/kanji practice and there are helpful exercises too. however sometimes the explanations can be a little bit hard to understand, so they’re not really the ideal textbook.

i have heard the genki textbooks are quite good, though i haven’t used them myself. they seem to be cheaper too, so i would give those a try! 

i hope this helped a little bit haha sweats
