How did you structure your Japanese study schedule as a beginner?
Hi everyone,
I'm 26 years old and have recently started learning Japanese from scratch. My long-term goals are:
Conversational Japanese
Understanding japanese without subtitles
Traveling comfortably in Japan
Passing JLPT N5 and eventually N4
I can realistically study around 15-30 minutes per day and I'm trying to build a routine that I can stick to consistently.
I'm curious:
What did your daily/weekly study timetable look like as a beginner?
How much time did you spend on: Hiragana/Katakana Vocabulary Grammar Listening Speaking/shadowing Reading
Did you use Duolingo, Anki, Genki, Bunpro, Renshuu, etc.?
What helped you stay consistent and avoid burnout?
If you were starting again from zero, what would you do differently?
I'd love to see examples of real study schedules that worked for you.
Thanks!
