Guide to Self-Studying Japanese

A large proportion of Japanese learners self-study. Finding places to learn Japanese in a classroom environment can be difficult and expensive. Here’s a guide on how you can learn Japanese for free and from the comfort of your sofa.

When learning Japanese, the most important step is to learn Hiragana and Katakana, the writing alphabets of Japanese.

The best way I’ve found to do that is to make flashcards. Make sure you practice writing as well as recognizing them, this will not only be a great skill to have but will also reinforce the shapes in your mind.

Resources:

[Hiragana 42], the best guide I’ve found to learn the Hiragana (in a day!) [Hiranana and Katakana Quiz Site] [Kana Invaders Game] [Anki] An amazing program that will make sure you never forget any Kana….

The next step is to start learning vocabulary. Where can you find what to learn? Use a site like Memrise to find word lists (for example, there is a word list for all the vocabulary in starter textbooks like Genki), and use the amazing interface to learn them and keep them in your long term memory.

Resources:

[Memrise] as mentioned above to find and learn vocabulary lists. [Most Common Words List] [Anki] An amazing program that will make sure you never forget any Vocabulary….

While encountering vocabulary, you’re likely to be coming across super-complicated-looking Kanji. You can learn Kanji through Memrise as above, but there are some other websites that may be of interest.

Resources:

[Kanji Damage] A great site where you can learn Kanji through mnemonics. [WaniKani] by the same people who make TextFugu can help you learn Kanji from scratch. [Anki] An amazing program that will make sure you never forget any Kanji….

The next step is to apply that new vocabulary to grammar points and start making sentences.

If you can’t get your hands on textbooks like Genki, don’t fear! There are a lot of great online grammar resources.

Resources:

[TextFugu] a highly rated ‘online textbook’ which will guide you right from the beginning of learning Japanese. [Guide to Japanese] another online textbook with a lot of grammar points and excellent explanations.

So you probably started to learn Japanese because you have some interest in Japanese media. Time to start using it to your advantage!

Aside from the obvious watching Anime, J-dramas and films, why not try Reading Japanese News? Watching Japanese TV? Just make sure you are making these activities productive - note down new vocabulary, add them to Anki, and keep learning! It’s much easier to learn things you’re interested in.

The most important but difficult part of self-studying Japanese is getting your own compositions checked. Utilize all that grammar and vocabulary and write a short piece, it could be a diary entry or a short essay. Get it recorded for you by a native on RhinoSpike, and checked for grammar and consistencies on Lang-8.These sites also give you the chance to connect with Japanese natives, and perhaps start up some language exchanges!

You don’t deal with child abuse by nuking ALL legal adult content.

Someone needs to tell Tumblr @staff that you don’t deal with child abuse by banning ALL legal adult content from the site.

Policing your site BETTER is what helps.

Banning ALL adult content, (the vast VAST majority of which is consensual and sensibly age gated) only moves the child abuse problem elsewhere, whilst punishing a community that has nothing to do with it, and is more likely to report it if they come across it.

Your “fostering a better community blog post” is rubbish. You didn’t deal with the problem effectively when it was reported to you. Probably (I might add) by the community you are now punishing.

No idea if it’ll make a difference, but it’s got more chance than doing nothing…

Here’s a petition:

https://t.co/jEdLb8Csr1: Allow NSFW content on Tumblr. - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/9OiiW7EnCN via @UKChange

For posterity

If I get taken out by this wave of bans, look for #femalelivestock in a week.

My 20 Favorite Horror Films

20. The Cabin in the Woods

What makes this work so well is the expert subversion of genre tropes, while still clearly respecting, and having love for the genre they are making fun of. Plus the last act is masterful insanity.

19. A Nightmare on Elm Street

The best of the 80s slashers, because of 2 factors: trying something different with the sub-genre, there is creativity in a very hollow field; plus it has Wes Craven making his best film.

18. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Made a couple years before Halloween, so its not part of the wave of slashers that followed. Tobe Hooper makes the film so realistic and gritty, that every aspect and scare works.

17. The Babadook

The most recent film to create a classic monster, and its the first film I’ve seen in a while that actually kept me up at night.

16. Rosemary’s Baby

One of the best endings in the history of the genre. And its all the more effective due to the slow-build of the rest of the film.

15. The VVitch

Roger Eggers makes one of the best horror debuts, there is no flaws in the direction, plus he creates such a great mood throughout that once the tension finally breaks, its is completely effective.

14. The Blair Witch Project

I know this is a controversial choice, but even if there are moments where not much is happening, it all creates a mood, which leads to a great, and scary ending.

13. The Thing

This film works because of the style, the direction, and the great concept, that is utilized perfectly by Carpenter.

12. The Fly

Whats amazing about this film, is the balance between body horror, psychological fear, and the actual emotion, you feel for Jeff Goldblum’s character.

11. The Silence of the Lambs

Jonatan Demme, Anthony Hopkins, and Jodie Foster elevate a simple murder mystery, into one of the best horror/ thrillers the genre made.

10. Suspiria 

Dario Argento, has an amazing ability of bringing class to, what could be very silly stories. When he is on he elevates whatever he is involved in, and this is his best.

9. Carrie

The closing shot, is simply, the best jump scare in the history of cinema.

8. Shaun of the Dead

This could be my favorite horror comedy, a loving satire of the Romero zombie movies, plus the perfect comedic touch that Edgar Wright brings, makes this phenomenal

7. Alien

In my opinion the best of the Alien series, and one of the best multi-genre horror films.

6. Halloween

The film that gave birth to an entire sub-genre that could never reach these heights again, also creates the first slasher icon. This is on top of being one of the most tightly constructed horror films 

5. Psycho

Some would argue the real, first slasher film. Hitchcock brings his signature suspense, and perfect technique into a genre he was always touching the edge on, and makes his most famous film.

4. Evil Dead 2

When it comes to fast pace, throw everything at the viewer and hope they catch it type of pure entertaining horror, Evil Dead 2 is above them all.

3. Eraserhead

David Lynch is a genius, and while this may not be a traditional horror, it is an uneasy a watch as any film you will ever see.

2. The Shining

The best directed horror film of all time. The Shining has an incredible ability to stay creepy and get under your skin each time you watch it.

1. The Exorcist

What more can be said about this, no other horror film has been able to capture what makes the genre great the same way the Exorcist does. The film gets everything right, and has a mood and tension, no other film on this list has.
