For every Japanese learner, five tones are the first hurdle that must be faced. Five tones are to Japanese what Pinyin is to Chinese. Learning five tones is basically to understand Japanese (using a pseudonym), and its importance is self-evident. Although pentatonic scale is called pentatonic scale, there are actually only 45 unvoiced sounds, consisting of 45 hiragana and 45 katakana. I won't introduce what pentatonic scale is in detail here. When you start self-study, you will naturally understand, and you will also be exposed to voiced, plucked and semi-voiced.
Language learning needs continuous learning. Taking a day off is tantamount to learning in vain, and the learning effect is very poor. If you want to find someone to study with, you can come to this button skirt. First, 780 is 94 1, and finally, 084 is a zero-based student. Everyone encourages each other to work hard, just learned to play, and it is not recommended to come.
Many people can't stick to it here, but you should know that if you don't master it well, it is almost impossible to learn Japanese in the future. I tried this. If you don't master it well, you can't continue at all. As mentioned earlier, pentasyllables are divided into hiragana and katakana. Hiragana has the same pronunciation, but katakana is used to express some foreign words from the west. Here, I suggest you spend more time learning hiragana, supplemented by learning katakana, because katakana is used late, and you can master hiragana and then learn it skillfully. Then slowly strengthen the memory of katakana. Spend some time reciting a pen name (pen name consists of five paragraphs and ten lines) every day. You may not be able to recall today's pen name when you eat and walk, and strengthen your memory repeatedly. Dictation every night will check the effect.
Personally, I suggest watching more variety shows in Japan to strengthen your memory, so that you won't feel bored. I am watching AKB48' s program "AKBINGO!" Strengthen memory. Variety shows are recommended, because variety shows are different from Japanese dramas, Japanese movies or anime. Many times Japanese variety shows will print some Japanese on the screen. At this time, you can listen to their pronunciation, compare their pseudonyms and strengthen your memory.
Second, choose books
In terms of books, the new standard "Sino-Japanese Japanese Language Exchange" (hereinafter referred to as "Table Record") is commonly used, and you can generally take the N2 exam after completing the intermediate level. In addition, some people use "everyone's Japanese" and "new Japanese", which I have never touched and will not comment on. Although Standard Date is also widely criticized, as the most widely used teaching material, there is also the most information about it on the Internet, which greatly facilitates our self-study. If you are hesitant to choose a self-taught book, you might as well buy a bid date. As a supplement, you can also buy a workbook, review each lesson and then complete the homework consolidation in the workbook.
Third, learning after the pentatonic scale.
You can find some video tutorials yourself. With these, learning will be more instructive and less blind. However, since I have learned the intermediate level, I feel that it is almost the same whether I read the courseware or not. With video, I can save the trouble of scheduling and expand my knowledge of Japanese.
On the standard day, the primary level is divided into words, grammar, texts, dialogues and exercises. Generally speaking, you learn words first, then dialogue, grammar and text. It's really helpful to practice what you can do if you have time. Unfortunately, I almost never finish the exercises in the standard day books. If you have time, you'd better do it instead of imitating me.
First of all, we should learn words well, which is nothing more than memorizing words and strengthening our understanding of words. By the way, some Japanese characters still have many strokes. I suggest that some complicated Chinese characters be written on paper several times before they can be proficient. Japanese words are generally composed of hiragana, katakana and Chinese characters. Everyone may be excited when they see Chinese characters. As a China person, isn't this a great advantage? Yes, it is an advantage, but it will also make us make some small mistakes. Because many Chinese characters in Japanese belong to traditional Chinese characters, there are many strokes, and for our mainland, which generally uses simplified Chinese characters, we may really need to learn some traditional Chinese characters again. In addition, in Japanese, some Chinese characters are very close to Chinese characters, but slightly different. If you are not careful, you will make mistakes. For example, Chinese painting and Japanese painting (the field of Chinese painting, especially Japanese painting). In addition, some Chinese words in Japanese vocabulary are completely different from Chinese words, such as "gentleman", which actually means "it doesn't matter, nothing" and "husband" means "strong". Here I hope everyone will not neglect when learning Chinese characters. Japanese words also need to be reviewed by everyone to avoid forgetting them later. After that, learn grammar. Grammar is a very important link. Japanese grammar is often distorted by various verbs, which requires more time to memorize. But you can watch more Japanese dramas, movies and comics, preferably with Japanese subtitles, and pay more attention to the Japanese subtitles that have appeared in them. To tell the truth, you have seen a lot, and you will naturally remember a lot. When learning Japanese grammar and expression, I think everyone should know more about Japanese history and culture and Japanese people, and have a certain Japanese thinking (which will be introduced in detail later). At the beginning, you'd better recite some paragraphs of the dialogue and the text. Many times you can blurt out some expressions. It's best to do exercises after class, because most of them are repetitive exercises using sentence patterns, which is very helpful for your grammar memory.
Fourth, establish the motivation and goal of learning Japanese.
Everyone has the motivation to teach themselves Japanese. Most people may love Japanese anime, and some people may like Japanese stars or Japanese movies and TV series. Whatever the motivation, you must have it, otherwise you can't stick to Japanese learning at all. The motivation can be that you want to know about anime, Japanese drama, etc. There are no subtitles, and you want to understand the blogs of Japanese stars directly. These are the driving forces that directly promote your study. Talk about goals when you have motivation.
If you don't have a goal in your study, you can't find the direction, and you don't know how much you want to learn Japanese, so you don't know how much energy you have to spend learning Japanese. The same is true of studying at school. Our goal may be to get high marks, which can be regarded as a test of our academic performance. Many people teach themselves Japanese, and the goal may be difficult to quantify. For example, I want to understand anime without subtitles, and I want to study abroad or work in a Japanese company by Japanese. Such goals are vague, and learners' learning is often aimless. So I suggest you take the Japanese proficiency test as your study goal. If you want to understand animation without subtitles, you should at least aim at N2. If you want to study in Japan or work in a Japanese enterprise, you should aim at N 1 If you want to know the blogs of Japanese stars and leave messages for them, you should aim at N2. If you just want to pretend and don't want to learn too much, then aim at N4 or N5. At first, because there was no goal in learning Japanese, I fished for three days and dried my net for two days. I have no motivation to continue studying, and I don't know how much to learn. Later, I communicated with my sister and said that since I was interested in learning Japanese, it was better to take the exam and turn my interest into an ability. It was also the goal of getting N2 that was established, and my study was gradually on the right track.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) Understand Japan and the Japanese people.
As a communication tool, language will naturally reflect the history and culture of that country and the way of thinking of local people. When learning English, we often hear teachers say that we should think in English, and don't take it for granted that we should use China people's thinking to understand English. Japanese is actually the same. My first understanding of Japan came from a book. Don't tell me you know Japan. I don't recommend how good this book is, but the first book I read was it, which also made me establish my first impression of Japanese speakers. The book Chrysanthemum and Knife is OK, but it is academic and a bit far away. You don't need to read this book if you don't specialize in Japan. Japanese thinking is very important in learning Japanese expressions. The typical Japanese thinking is, don't disturb others, speak politely and have a clear hierarchical relationship.
When learning Japanese, we should not be discouraged by some minor setbacks, but should use our brains more. If you have nothing to do, cheer yourself up, think about what you learned Japanese for, and give yourself more motivation (you can rely on animation, stars, etc.) to ignite yourself!
