Learning Japanese as a beginner
Hi everyone,
I’m a software developer who wants to learn Japanese to improve my career prospects.
Currently, I’m familiar with hiragana and katakana and am following NihonGoal’s Minna no Nihongo JLPT N5 playlist. I’m currently on Lesson 6.
I know some basic vocabulary and particles such as は (wa), の (no), に (ni), で (de), and へ (e), and I have a basic understanding of Japanese sentence structure. However, I haven’t started learning kanji yet.
I’m also somewhat familiar with Japanese because I watch anime regularly, so I recognize some common words and expressions.
Do you think completing Minna no Nihongo is enough to pass the JLPT N5, or should I be studying additional resources alongside it?
I’d appreciate any advice from people who have passed N5 or used Minna no Nihongo themselves.
