1,500 Words: How to Learn Japanese from Real Life
Why 1,500 words are enough to start, why you should learn them inside sentences instead of one by one, and how to use every video on this channel.
The key points
- Learn words together, as sentences — not 鳥, but 鳥が
います. - Say it slowly, then at normal speed, out loud. A whisper is fine.
- Watch each video three times. The third time makes far more sense than the first.
