<p>Traveling to Japan to talk with natives, watching raw anime, and reading manga and novels before they’re translated all require the same fundamental skills and knowledge. While this guide is not going to be enough to teach you these skills, it will give you an idea of how to go about acquiring them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With the basics covered in this guide you can get started with reading the written language, which you can then use to gain a more thorough understanding of Japanese. That being said, you should not hesitate to practice listening or speaking if you wish to do so. This guide only aims to introduce you to the Japanese language and show you how to get started. The rest is up to you.</p>

<h2 id="Japanese writing system">Japanese writing system</h2>

<p>The Japanese writing system consists of three scripts: hiragana, katakana and kanji.</p>

<h3 id="The kana">The kana</h3>
|

<p>Hiragana and katakana, together referred to as the kana, are two phonetic scripts, each containing 46 characters. They represent the same sounds, but are used for different purposes.</p>

|

|

<p>Hiragana will be your bread and butter for reading anything in Japanese. The approach to Japanese presented in this guide, as well as all the resources linked (except for those about the kana), are intended for people who can at least read hiragana. Thus, hiragana is the first thing that you are expected you learn.</p>

|

<p><a href="assets/res/kanji.png">Kanji</a> are the third part of the Japanese writing system, and by far the most extensive. These logographic characters of varying complexity represent words or parts of words in conjunction with the kana. Japanese high school students are required to learn at least 2136 kanji as part of the curriculum, but around 3,000 are used in all facets of life.</p>

<p>Learning grammar is straightforward: Pick a grammar guide and read it. <a href="http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar">Tae Kim</a> is often recommended for beginners (note that the whole guide is basic grammar, even the “advanced” section), but other options are listed on the resources page. You shouldn't expect to memorise everything you read the first time around in whatever guide you choose, but you should be aiming to understand it. The purpose of a grammar guide is not to grant you "mastery" over the language (which only comes through lots of practice and exposure), but simply to introduce you to the fundamentals of the language and give you the foundation that you need to start reading native material. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Once you've reached the end of the guide, you can start reading Japanese material while consulting back to the guide to solidify your memory. By reading Japanese you are actively practicing your grammar since you are using it constantly to understand what you are reading. Manga is the common recommendation for first getting into reading, especially Yotsubato. You may also consider doing the <a href="http://dojgdeck.neocities.org/">Dictionary of Japanese Grammar Anki deck</a> to reinforce what you have learned.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This isn't the end of grammar. Tae Kim should serve you fine for the easiest manga, but it only covers the most common grammar. The Dictionaries of Japanese Grammar are the go-to resource for anything not covered in Tae Kim; they and various other options are documented in the <a href="resource%20guide.html">resources section</a>. If you’re looking to reinforce or refresh what you learned in Tae Kim, then the <a href="https://www2.gwu.edu/~eall/vjgnew/vjghomepage/vjghome.htm">Visualizing Japanese Grammar</a> video series (written and presented by a native Japanese linguist) is an excellent resource.</p>

<h3 id="Vocabulary">Vocabulary</h3>
|

|

<p><a href="http://ankisrs.net/">Anki</a> is a flashcard program that helps you acquire vocabulary through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition">spaced repetition</a>. It is commonly used in conjunction with the <a href="anki.html">Core2K/6K</a> vocabulary deck by beginners to build up a basic vocabulary of common words in preparation for reading. Many people stop the Core2K/6K deck after reaching 2000 words; partly because the first 2000 words (Core2K) are a lot more common than the rest, and partly because of the significant time investment involved in completing Core6K. As you can expect even Core2K to take about 3 months to complete, some prefer to skip it and begin reading native material immediately. Whether or not you feel that the time investment is worth it depends on your tolerance for looking up unknown words. After finishing Core2K, you’ll at least know the majority of words in a given sentence, but you will still have to look up many words per page.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After completing Core2K (or skipping it entirely), some people begin a "mining deck". A mining deck is a vocabulary deck which you build up yourself with the unknown words that you encounter while reading. The Firefox add-on <a href="http://rikaisama.sourceforge.net/">Rikaisama</a> simplifies this process to a single key press, so that all you need to do to add a card to your deck is hover over a word and press "r" (instructions <a href="http://rikaisama.sourceforge.net/#realtime_import_help">here</a> and <a href="anki.html#import">here</a>).</p>

<p>You will need to learn all three writing systems to be able to read native material. Since hiragana and katakana are relatively small in number and simple in design, they can be learned through rote repetition in a short time-frame using a site like <a href="kana/index.html">DJT Kana</a>. For kanji, however, because of their great number and complexity, there are various opinions on how to best approach them. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>None of the methods described below are objectively superior to the others. The most important thing about any given method is not how "efficient" it is, but whether or not you enjoy it, or at the very least feel motivated enough to see it through to completion. Don't be afraid to try out different methods and see what works best for you.</p>

|

<p>There are two main ways to approach kanji. The simplest is to learn whole words without studying the individual kanji. The other is to study each kanji in isolation to learn its meaning and composition. Studying isolated kanji can grant you the ability to write by hand, and will most likely have a positive effect on your vocabulary retention. It’s up to you to decide whether or not you will benefit enough from learning kanji in isolation to merit the time and effort it takes.</p>

<h4 id="Kanji through vocabulary">Kanji through vocabulary</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you choose not to study kanji in isolation, you will still learn to recognize their meanings and readings as you learn new words. Learning new words is something you need to do anyway, so many people skip individual kanji study altogether. Either approach will result in success so long as you persist, so the choice comes down to what method you personally find easier. If you don't want to study kanji, you can likely work through a vocab deck without doing so. But if you are slow to pick up on kanji while learning vocabulary or have poor retention, consider studying kanji individually. </p>

|

|

<h4 id="Isolated kanji (mnemonics)">Isolated kanji (mnemonics)</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The mnemonics method uses short stories or images to break down the kanji and make them easy to remember. Commonly used resources that encourage mnemonics are <a href="cor.html">Remembering the Kanji</a>, <a href="http://www.kanjidamage.com/">KanjiDamage</a> and the <a href="https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/779483253">Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Course</a>. Each has its own set of mnemonics and slightly distinct methods, so you should glance through each and pick whichever suits you — it's ultimately not that important. For more information and the necessary Anki decks, see the <a href="resource%20guide.html">resources page</a>.</p>

<h4 id="Isolated kanji (rote)">Isolated kanji (rote)</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Kanji can also be learnt simply by writing or reviewing them repetitively. You should first familiarize yourself with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_%28Chinese_characters%29">radicals</a> that kanji are composed of, as explained in “<a href="Radical approach">Radical approach</a>” below. An <a href="resource guide.html#Kanji">Anki deck</a> with <a href="http://pastebin.com/KibfAzNw">production/recall-type cards</a> could be very conducive to this method since, rather than writing out characters at random, you would instead be frequently writing out the ones you're struggling to remember, while only occasionally writing out ones which you remember consistently. The general consensus is that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji#Readings">readings</a> for the characters <a href="assets/readings.png">should be learned through vocabulary</a>, so you should just focus on associating each kanji with its meaning(s). If you're struggling with a particular kanji, don't be afraid to make up a mnemonic based on its radicals.</p>

It's a trade-off between starting out with "more vocabulary now, smaller foundation" or "more foundation now, less vocabulary".</p>

<p>For those who feel that methods like RTK and KanjiDamage take too much time, but don't feel confident diving head-first into kanji as with the kanji-through-vocab approach described above, one method to consider is simply dedicating a week or two to studying <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_%28Chinese_characters%29">radicals</a> - the 200 or so building-blocks which make up the kanji. This approach, rather than teaching you to write and recognise a set of ~2000 common kanji, gives your brain the information it needs to mentally deconstruct the kanji it encounters into their base components, which may make it easier for you to both learn to recognise them and to avoid mixing them up with other kanji which look similar. In any case, it should stop your brain from seeing them as simply a bunch of random squiggles. You can find an Anki deck <a href="https://mega.nz/#!IAVVlBab!qQazRubQ3VZ_WjjLS4CclxYQF-6QGRtnmwd_zGBZpIo">here</a> which contains all of the radicals, along with their meanings in English.</p>

<li>Core2K/6K is the generally recommended Anki deck for beginners who want to build up a basic vocabulary before they start reading. Learn how to use it from the <a href="anki.html">Anki startup guide</a>. You should also install <a href="http://rikaisama.sourceforge.net/">Rikaisama</a> (Firefox) or <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rikaikun/jipdnfibhldikgcjhfnomkfpcebammhp?hl=en">Rikaikun</a> (Chrome), which will allow you to look up words by hovering over them.</li>

<li class="a">If you wish to study kanji or radicals individually, pick one of the methods discussed <a href="#Benefits and drawbacks of isolated kanji study">above</a>. You can do so either before starting vocab or at the same time, but you should try to finish up in a few months so you can focus on vocabulary.</li>

<li class="a">Since you will probably be learning vocabulary alongside grammar, it is important that you pace yourself. This does not mean that you should not push yourself though. You can change the amount of new cards a day in Anki, but leave it at the default amount for the first few days and see how it suits you. Raise the amount of cards if you feel like you have headroom, and lower it if you feel overwhelmed (or just push yourself harder). Once you get into the swing of things, your total cards to review will be around ten times the amount of your new cards per day (so 20 new cards per day would mean about 200 reviews per day). <span class="bold">You should set the upper limit for daily reviews in the deck options to the highest number possible</span>, because failing to do all of your reviews on schedule will interfere with Anki’s spaced-repetition-system. If you have trouble keeping up, lower the amount of new cards instead of limiting your reviews.</li>

<li class="a">To learn grammar, <a href="http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar">Tae Kim's Grammar Guide</a> is generally recommended due to its brevity (other options can be found in the <a href="resource%20guide.html">resources section</a>). Read the entire guide, including the "Advanced grammar" section - it’s all actually basic Japanese grammar. If you are struggling to understand Tae Kim's explanation about a particular grammatical concept, look it up in the <a href="https://mega.co.nz#F!m5tU0QxJ!ML2OBq3waLUHrWg9HiWeSA">Dictionary of Japanese Grammar</a>.</li>

<li class="a">Once you have read through your chosen grammar guide, you are ready to start reading Japanese. While it’s not necessary, reading will be easier if you have reached about 2000 words in Core2K/6K at this point (you will have to look up a lot of words anyway, but having a basic vocabulary will make it less painful). If you intend to start reading with <a href="https://mega.co.nz#F!jB0h3BKA!36ITFudC9P25d8tmiGYvvw">Yotsubato</a>, download the <a href="http://livingjapanese.com/pages/reading_packs.html">Yotsuba Reading Pack</a>, which will introduce you to all of the vocabulary used in the first volume of Yotsuba; this is particularly helpful for slang and slurred speech that can’t be looked up in a dictionary.</li>

<li class="a">At this point most people start a mining deck. A mining deck is a vocabulary deck to which you add unfamiliar words that you encounter while reading. You can also continue with the Core deck if you like, but it makes sense to create a mining deck once you start reading. To make mining easier, use <a href="http://rikaisama.sourceforge.net/#realtime_import_help">Rikaisama’s real-time import feature</a>, which allows you to create a new Anki card with a single key press (<a href="anki.html#import">instructions</a>).</li>
