Japanese Study Group Discord
hi guys ^-^ if you’re wondering about the discord I made a little while back, it’s still up and running! all that’s left is finding some more japanese learning fanatics to join.
of course it will be a constant work in progress, but the dream is that maybe someday it will be filled with a variety of people with the same common goal, all trying to help each other out in the process of helping themselves.
We are currently accepting staff applications and are offering special roles to certain active or more advanced learners. We hope you consider joining! Having a sense of community is so important when it comes to taking on huge goals such as learning Japanese.
I’m also working on getting native speakers to join, so although for now it will be mostly english speakers, hopefully we can change that soon! I look forward to you seeing the server grow into a flourishing community of positivity, motivation, and belief in one another!
3 weeks until my end of year Japanese exams!∑(ﾟДﾟ)
On May 10th I have my 日本語 oral exam where I have to prepare a presentation and then the teacher will ask me questions about it after.
Then I also have my 日本語 comprehension test. I plan on posting my study progress over the next couple weeks! Please join in and study along with me♪

Exam season cramming today! Working hard on learning my 漢字.
Have any of you ever taken Japanese through an online college course?
If so, did you like it? I can’t imagine that all college Japanese 1 courses differentiate too much from each other (especially if you happen to be in California like I am).
I’d love to hear your experience since I’m personally considering it!
Hi! I’m not sure if this will be helpful since I live in England so the courses might be different (?). I did 2 semesters of an online Japanese for beginners course which followed the first Genki textbook. Here are some of the pros and cons I found!
Pros-
- I met a lot of new people who were interested in Japan like me and it was fun to talk about our interests
- I loved my teacher she was super friendly and always gave us time after class to chat to her 1 on 1 incase we didn’t understand anything
- I learnt a whole lot even though the course only consisted of 2 hours a week. She set homework for us each week and then marked it which was useful.
Cons-
- doing the course online meant I never got to meet my teacher or classmates in person
- Now that I’m studying Japanese as my major I’ve learnt 10x as much in 2 semesters, so online courses are more of just a small taste at everything there is to learn.
- doing it online meant that I had less opportunity to practice my speaking. We did get put into ‘break out rooms’ but even so my speaking didn’t hugely improve
My new favourite thing is studying on long train journeys by the window ☕️
