I've broken my Mp3 player so no more audio lessons in the car..
I've completed my books.. Classes (since i wasnt allowed streight into year 2 cuz i couldnt read and write japanese) are just repeating everything I learned last year on my own..
I can do:
Hiragana, Katakana, Introductions, Shopping (business hours, Prices, Money etc) Colours, Postions, Origins, Confirming Schedules, Make Plans (what to do, when and where), resturaunts (ordering etc), Compliments, Gratitude and talk about interests..
I can't do:
Kanji, Things that arent above.. Obviously..
Any ideas on what I can study next? |
The next step is pretty obvious. It's KANJI.
You've done all the basic stuffs - hiragana, katakana, intro, greetings. So, how fluent are you in them? Barely or at the back of your hands?
- Have grammar drills to strengthen your foundations.
- Watch Jdramas to train your ears in listening spoken Japanese and to improves your language fluency.
- Listen to JPops.
- If Kanji is a huge obstacle for you, you still have to do it, but do it slow. Do it at a pace that is comfortable to you. A word a day is good. Write them out over and over again.
As for the other suggestion of yours, I don't think anyone would be willing to go to that extend. That's a lot of work. But who knows.....
