Hello, dear readers!

If you can understand the title of this article, please bear with me, because after all the time that I have spent learning the Japanese language, that's all I've got. Lol! 😄

We all have that certain language that we are fond of very much that pushed us to study them and learn more about it so that we could be able to understand and speak it fluently. Everyone has their reasons why they wanted to learn a particular language. May it is for working abroad, to watch movies without English subtitles or not English dubbed, to read novels or comics in raw copies without translating it, or it may be for studying abroad.

Well, in my case, the language that I like to learn is the Japanese language (obviously), and I'm still currently learning it by self-studying when I have free time. I don't have any particular reason for learning this. I'm just probably got influenced by too much watching anime, watching vlogs about Japanese culture, and reading manga. I'm also trying to practice writing, but Kanji 🈹 is killing me, it's that hard. Just imagine learning those more than 6,000 characters one by one. And, each character has different readings and meanings.

Just take this number 1️⃣ for example, it is written in Kanji as (一). It just looks like a dash but a little longer. Its Onyomi readings are イチ (Ichi), イツ (Itsu) and the Kunyomi readings are ひと.つ (hito. tsu), ひと (hito).

I'm not good at teaching so just take a look at the picture to learn how complicated each character of Kanji 🈹 can be.

Well, moving on to the next idea. I just like to share these awesome mobile applications that helped me learn Japanese a little easier.

I have already made an article about these apps in my previous articles. In this article, "Helpful Applications To Learn Japanese", I have stated there those apps such as Kanji Study, OniTan, Japanese Dictionary, Todai News, and Kawaii Nihongo along with the summarized details of their features. The only app that I haven't stated there is Renshuu because I have just downloaded this recently. It's also a learning app but this one is different. Renshuu provides memory games, interaction with other users through answering questions and replying to other user's comments, and a community on Discord. I'm planning to write another article for this app. I have more thoughts about this app to share.

I have also written my impulsive buying experience in my previous article, "The Impulsive Buyer Switch In Me Got Turned On Again!", whereas I had explained further information about the features of the Kanji Study App. It's quite good and effective. It's just that I don't have much time to put more effort into using it right now.

If you're interested in learning the Japanese language, you can also read my other article, "Let's Learn Japanese By Following These 3 Steps!". Just an overview, I have written there the effective steps to follow if you're a beginner in learning the language. It's helpful for those who don't know how to begin learning or which topic to begin with on learning Japanese. I hope it can also be a big help to you.

Enjoy learning!

If I'm too lazy to explore those applications, I just watch Japanese YouTubers who are uploading video tutorials about learning the Japanese language.

My Top 3 Sensei on YouTube

1️⃣ Learning Kanji

This channel, as its name says, it teaches Kanji from Elementary 1 to N1. I like watching here since it is very detailed and he is demonstrating how to write every Kanji stroke by stroke. He also teaches the readings, the meanings, and word examples.

2️⃣ Kazu Marumori

I have a lot of interaction with this guy on Facebook, HelloTalk, and YouTube. I'm impressed with how patient he is in answering my questions and he never fails to give me a satisfactory answer every time. He uploads videos on YouTube about proper writing tutorials of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. He also uploads videos about Japanese Grammar patterns and the songs he originally composed.

3️⃣ Learning Japanese With Taka

I got the idea of socializing in HelloTalk from this guy. He also uploads videos about Japanese Grammar in daily life encounters. You can learn more if you join his community. He provides Pdfs and Zoom meetings to those who joined. I don't have much budget in me right now so I'm just looking for free video tutorials and apps.
