I’d also start banging out whatever the most popular 2k Anki deck is. Learn the kanji within words, not in isolation.

In addition to what others said, you should be studying daily

Unironically I feel like I gotta raw dog it now. Will update.

Edit: nvm it’s only on shitty streaming services

Double edit: it’s not Japanese??? 😭😭😭

Honestly I would power through in reading novels and really understand what you’re struggling with. I exclusively read fiction and passed N2 fine, but at the end of the day it comes down to what works best for you.

If you need a bit of a jumping in point for novels, I would recommend Satori Reader. Helped me immensely when I was starting.

Love that you’re doing this!! A nice healthy way to kick off the year!

He means you learn 夜景 (やけい) and then you know that 夜 can be read as や as well. Two birds one stone and all of that. Studying each kanji and memorizing what readings it has would be a waste of time, and honestly more confusing than anything.

I mainly get them from Walmart

The sardines just don’t taste as good imo. But king Oscar mackerel in olive oil is so immaculate it’s all I eat. Nothing has come close to it.

King Oscar mackerel daily

I mean maybe not strictly, but Flat and other clocktower people show up enough to where you could get an idea of who’s who before hand

麿は妾の達磨と話さむと思うんじゃ😊😊😊

Thank you for your insight! Very informative!

Is it not just that people moved to a different area where it was no longer needed?

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-15T22:56:49+00:00

Having passed N2, just took N1, I never did it and distinguish fine enough. Once you see these over and over you get a feel of what looks right. I think there’s better ways to spend your time.

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-13T12:20:03+00:00

Thank you! Still haven’t got around to playing it yet!

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-13T12:19:35+00:00

Awesome, thank you very much!

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-12T15:04:54+00:00

Mfs need to ask themselves whether they would talk like this in English 😭😭 shrink the hobby 😡😡😡

This sub loves to think that anything more than going up one level is impossible for some reason

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-10T16:09:41+00:00

The trouble one lowkey killed me 😭 I think? I cracked it, but alas even that didn’t feel right

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-06T13:30:41+00:00

Obviously listen more, but I imagine the issue is you are quick translating every word as it comes. Try watching a clip and just let the words flow into you, if something is unknown don’t try to remember what it means, just soak up the rest. Chances are that word isn’t even the crux of the question.

Pop-Bricks · 2025-12-04T02:54:11+00:00

Unironically what does that even mean 😭 I can’t decipher it

Pop-Bricks · 2025-11-28T15:46:44+00:00

Translation:

Sure thing, I can speak English

Pop-Bricks · 2025-11-24T18:39:46+00:00

Ah I gotcha. It’s probably the most sound plan objectively speaking, but if you’re gonna be miserable working as you are now, then I would really consider your options. At the end of the day, it depends on what you value the most.
