Hi everyone! I'm a beginner in Japanese, I've been learning it for 2 years but I can't dedicate any serious amount of time to it. All I've done so far is a few Duolingo lessons every day and regular kanji practice with the Kanji Study app, and right now I'm at the point where N5 content seems very easy to me and I can most likely pass N4, according to the sample tests in the JLPT website. I can understand some things in the N3 test but I'm quite far from being able to pass it yet, mainly due to a lack of vocabulary. The problem is, I'm bored of just doing Duolingo, and now that I feel like I can actually understand some Japanese, I'd like to supplement my learning with other materials. I generally prefer books and more formal resources, but since I don't have time to sit down and study Japanese, I need something that I can do with I have 5 minutes of free time here and there, so I'm open to apps too. I'm an auditory learner when it comes to languages, so things will stick way better in my memory if I hear them spoken out loud. For other languages, as soon as I passed the basic levels, listening to audiobooks while reading the written text has been my go-to and it has helped me immensely, but I don't think I'm at that level in Japanese yet. Again, I need more vocabulary :( I installed Satori Reader and I love it, but I'm wondering what else I'm missing that I could be doing, and I'd love to hear everyone's ideas. My goal is to be able to pass N1 someday, I'm serious about learning Japanese, so I'd like to get as much work done as possible while I wait for a time in my life when I can actually sit down and open a grammar book. Right now Japanese is just a hobby that I practice when I need to decompress from all the stress in my PhD. I know that many of you will say that Anki is what I'm missing, especially for vocabulary, and you're probably right. I tried it once and hated it due to my resistance to accepting being told when I need to review a card, and also because of how reviews pile up catastrophically if I miss a few days of practice. I don't like an automated system organizing things for me, but I'm willing to give it another try if someone can recommend good decks for learning vocabulary classified by levels. Please help a newbie out! Thanks a lot for reading and have a nice day!
