Learn Japanese

A collection of articles that share how I’m learning Japanese. A lot happened since 2013 when I started my journey and hopefully, my experiences with Japanese study material can help you reach your goal faster when you want to learn Japanese. Or at least prevent you from making the same mistakes I did.

If you’re looking for a step by step guide on how to start studying check my Japanese self-study guide first. It’s always updated with the latest study materials I’m using and I can fully recommend each and every study tool in there.

Under the category learn Japanese here you’ll find all the other resources I discovered along with some more in-depth articles about the different study tools I’m using.
