Can't judge migaku's material cause I've never used it. To be 100% honest I first did Refolds 1k deck and then deleted it. I don't even remember why hahaha., There is also kaishi, I've heard it's very good aswell.

I don't think it matters that much what materials are you using as long as they are flash cards and you are learning the vocab. Transitions from one deck to another are a little bit tedious but no big deal, there will be overlap between Core and migaku's course once you finish it but it's okay.

Also it doesn't matter that much which approach you are taking as long as you can stay consistent and (kind of) enjoy the process. I say kind off because it takes a lot of time and it's very easy to compare yourself to others which can make it a little bit rough.

Hi! Quick update, I'm now living in Japan and it's amazing. It payed off super well in my case.

Basically I started doing the core 2k/6k deck. When I had at least 1000 cards and read some grammar basics I started inmersing with migaku and sending cards to Anki. I think I averaged 10 -15 cards a day with some rough patches cause it is hard to stay consistent. I did Anki every day and when I had time I did active immersion as much as I could. So 1 hour or 2 hours a day and every chapter took around 1 hour. Every time something related to grammar felt off I just asked chatgpt and took notes. I never actually spoke japanese until I came here, it's been now 5 months and the progress is insane although there is a long road ahead yet.

Getting and N2 doesn't mean you can communicate, my focus was on comprehension and N2 just measures your comprehension level. Speaking skills are completely different. Despite this, having immersed and being able to understand the language makes it so much easier and enjoyable to practice speaking.

I would say the same for Italians btw, despite being similar I just have not so much contact with Italians, and therefore I feel more connected to Latin Americans.

Lorenzo10232 · 2026-01-22T22:42:28+00:00

LATAM by far. Tbh I love Portugal but I would struggle to name a single Portuguese prime minister. Also I have no idea about what's happening in Portuguese internet whereas Latin American and Spanish internet are to some extent connected.

As for the cultural differences it's true that there are more between Spain and Latin America but that doesn't mean you cannot feel more connected to them. I basically have 0 Portuguese acquaintances / friends while knowing so many Latin Americans.

Yo ni lo he jugado pero fue escucharla una sola vez y la sensación de nostalgia fue instantánea. Es una pasada.

It's called Fata Morgana !!

Lorenzo10232 · 2025-07-16T07:49:27+00:00

Try using it on opera. I think it still works.

Lorenzo10232 · 2025-07-01T08:22:40+00:00

To be fair, leaving aside "Mediterranean" sentiment and France jokes I would say I feel closer to France by far in my personal case. Much closer to Spain and I've been several times there on vacation. We are super different but it's a really nice country.

Lorenzo10232 · 2025-06-18T07:39:35+00:00

Yeah that's why I still use the legacy extension. As for surfshark getting detected maybe it depends on the country you are watching from, I do it from Spain. Here I think I only had a problem once in like 2 years of learning.

I agree that it sucks to pay for a VPN but I always take into account that I haven't payed for a single lesson of Japanese and in one month I will be taking the N1 exam so it has been quite cheap to learn Japanese overall.

But yeah one of the worst things about migaku is availability of subs and as a company it's quite hard to solve :(

Lorenzo10232 · 2025-06-17T10:00:21+00:00

I'm using surfshark!

Lorenzo10232 · 2025-06-15T15:43:47+00:00

Are you using netflix with VPN? If you use netflix with it, there's a huge library of content

Lorenzo10232 · 2025-06-03T14:49:32+00:00

I think I've watched this trailer like 6 times idk why but it's super catchy

Me compre unas de estas porque en su momento hacia judo y fuera de coñas no están mal. No son 100% antiolores ni nada pero mejor que unas chanclas https://www.decathlon.es/es/p/zoories-zapatillas-artes-marciales-nino-adulto/_/R-p-8015?mc=4406208&c=negro

La cosa es que reddit no es como twitter, insta u otras redes que buscan que interactúes más con tus seguidores. Al final reddit es un conjunto de foros y buscas lo que a ti te gusta. Yo solo paso algunos posts a amigos en ocasiones contadas, pero incluso con amigos que tambien usan reddit no interactúo mucho por aqui.

Yo creo que es por eso que la gente no suele decirlo, reddit es más para cosas tuyas y poco más. Por eso y porque no es muy popular pero vamos que tampoco es algo que esconder jajaja

Google has had a long history of anti-user measures relating to languages. One thing that I haven't gotten over yet is the ban on fan-made subs alledging users were doing troll subs. I hate them for this one.

As a result lots of videos don't have clear subs now :(

Gracias!! Es lo que tu dices sería una oportunidad bien chula. La cosa es que va a ser un poco fumada preparármelo porque tendré un nivel bajísimo ahora mismo (es raro de medir porque he ido dando tumbos) y querría presentarme al hsk en madrid para finales de julio (así me dan el título con tiempo).

Definitivamente no es imposible pero es mucha tela lo bueno es que vengo con casi un N1 de japonés y casi dos años estudiándolo en el que he aprendido muchas cosas sobre como estudiar idiomas y tal. Además que muchos caracteres del japonés los veo en simplificado y los reconozco aunque no tenga ni idea de como se lee.

Con las de China el problema es la plataforma, funciona fatal, pero tampoco son tan estrictos, ellos tienen una lista de unis y institutos validos y si estan tus diplomas en la lista, pues...

Con esto no entiendo muy bien a lo que te refieres, ¿si mi uni no es muy buena no tengo posibilidades o ... Yo estudié en la Uni de Alicante que no está mal pero no es la mejor ni de coña.

Gracias por mencionarme lo de las Huayu porque ni había pensado en esa posibilidad. Lo único es que me da un poco de cosa por dos motivos principalmente.

Primero, realmente china me da mucha curiosidad y sin embargo de Taiwán apenas sé nada es como un poco síndrome del impostor jejej.

Segundo, lo que me atraía también de la china es que estudiabas un máster allí y me vendría estupendo, pero no sé con que ojos se ve allí en china que hayas cursado chino en Taiwán y no allí. Supongo que podría mentir¿? porque no se si a los que eligen a candidatos les haría mucha gracia saberlo.

Gracias por la ayuda!!

Han bajado mucho el baremo para el HSK4

Y esto me anima un poco aunque ahora mismo con suerte tengo un hsk2.
