Japanese Study Tips

  1. 1

    Learn kanji in context through vocabulary rather than studying isolated characters — it improves retention and reading speed.

  2. 2

    Use NHK News Easy as a source for intermediate flashcards — articles use simplified Japanese with furigana.

  3. 3

    Create cards that test recognition (Japanese to English) and production (English to Japanese) separately for stronger recall.

  4. 4

    Group grammar cards by JLPT level and study them alongside corresponding vocabulary for coherent progression.

  5. 5

    Study kanji compounds (熟語) together — learning 生活 and 生命 together reinforces the readings of 生.
