If you want to learn a language, you must start with phonetic symbols. There are fifty phonetic symbols in Japanese, which are divided into Hiragana and Katakana. Beginners must master these fifty phonetic symbols skillfully. Although it will be boring, it will lay a good foundation for future study.
2. One of the headaches-memorizing words
As for memorizing words, I suggest you recite a few times. The so-called few times means that you don't need to recite thirty or fifty words at a time. Recite ten words a day, so you must stick to it and review the words you recited the day before. Students who have studied foreign languages all have experience. Today, you forgot two-thirds of the words you clearly remembered the day before. People's memory has a critical day of forgetting. Words memorized on the first day must be reviewed the next day, and then three days later, one week later and one month later. A word often has to be memorized four or five times to remember. Don't think you don't remember. Only reciting repeatedly is the only trick. I suggest that you can use some learning software to help yourself overcome inertia.
There is no shortcut to memorizing words, but a boring process of remembering and forgetting, forgetting and remembering.
3. Cultivate interest in learning neon language
Neon language (Japanese) is learned in stages. Basically, the CET-4 course (the first volume of standard Japanese) is an introduction, and grammar and vocabulary are not difficult. This is to leave time for everyone to know what kind of language Neon (Japanese) is. Because neon language is not the same language family as Chinese and English, which we often come into contact with, at this stage we will have a general understanding of the characteristics and usage of neon language (Japanese), such as the order of language (subject, object and predicate), the position of modifiers (before the modified words), the distinction between respect and simplification in the same sentence, respect, modesty and politeness.
Grade 2 or above is not so easy to learn. Besides memorizing a lot of words, mastering sentence patterns and different connection methods, we should try our best to keep up with our listening and speaking ability. Therefore, it is easy to get bored at this stage, and it is particularly important to cultivate interest in learning. It is important to learn the knowledge in the textbook. For example, you can watch Japanese dramas, play Japanese video games, read comics and so on. Of course, it may not be easy at first, so don't use the Japanese way of thinking to translate, so understanding the Japanese way of thinking is also a compulsory course for language learners. Of course, not everyone has the opportunity and conditions to study abroad, so I suggest that when you reach level 2 or so and want to improve your oral English and listening, you can continue to consolidate your grammar, take oral lessons with foreign teachers or make some Japanese friends to feel the pure Japanese. Of course, all this is on the premise of laying a good grammar foundation.
4. Make a Japanese study plan
Persistence is the key to learning a language.
Be sure to make a daily, monthly and quarterly study plan for yourself, which can save you a lot of time.
For example, 30 minutes of oral training every day, 1 hour of basic course learning arrangement, 30 minutes of word recitation, 1 hour of topic and conversation learning.
