Suggestions: Self-Study Plan.
Posted: June 7th, 2017 3:21 am
Hey, everyone. I could use some guidance.
I've been trying to put together a Japanese self-study plan, and, as it turns out, there are a bunch of online resources. Maybe too many; I feel like I'm pulled in many different directions.
I have tried TextFugu in the past, but pacing was a problem. I would breeze through the grammar sections, but vocab section after vocab section led to some serious burnout. It took me months to feel like I could study again. I'm genuinely worried about that happening again.
So far, I've got Genki I, and I want to make it my primary textbook, especially for vocab.
I'm considering Japanese for Busy People as a supplement/reinforcement tool. (Instead of the Genki workbooks)
I'll probably pick up A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar, since many people feel it's essential.
I may sign up for WaniKani, but I'm concerned about burnout.
Basically, I want to keep things simple and effective, only the essentials that I can focus on day after day.
Any ideas/suggestions?
