I have a 489 day streak with Japanese, and from my experience duolingo is amazing for teaching you hiragana and katakana - even some kanji. The rest is really basic and not as good, but as a beginning tool duolingo is actually pretty useful.

What's the best way to learn a language? Not stopping. It's normal to hit slow patches but pushing through is the secret to the pot of gold. If you 10 years from now never stopped working at it you will have come far.

I also found Duolingo to be a good entry point, just to get familiar with the learning habit.

I found memorise to be more to my liking, and after that started using Anki.

Slowing down and learning a handful of words until your comfortable with it for example will help keep you motivated instead of just continously speeding through and forgetting everything.

something that really changed how i motivated myself and what really helped WAS duolingo.

Currently im about a month into learning but duolingo was never my primary source of education BUT my monkey brain like when number go up so everyday i just do one lesson on hiragana each day so i can keep my streak going and keep my mind fresh on what ive been learning

[KiraBuca]

After using Duolingo for 5 days now I can say easily that I remember every thing I’ve learnt and you can tell me the whole of section 1 and 2 and I’m certain ide get them all right

Hi from Okinawa! I found you via Abroad in Japan where you made a comment on Japanese view on tourists. I am so glad that i followed up on you! Perhaps make more comments on other YouTube channels to help grow yours? By the way, thanks for the language app tips!

N2 would definitely be my goal but not to pass JLPT. I'm learning for conversation during travel and being able to read the signs etc...The problem im having now is finding opportunity to speak with actual people. Im like between an N5 and N4.

I use anki for around a month now, onky doing 30 minutes a day I learned 2000 words. I also do take Japanese classes at school so I can learn grammar and pronunciation. Definitely an effective method for me since I only started taking Japanese seriously 4 months ago and I can now read basic sentences and speak basic sentences.

If your still learning the basics go for duolingo and the finish the lessons hiragana katakana and kanji since it's fun and it's also for kids. Then if u are a bit good at japanese go try the other apps.

[WhiskerCat]

It's a dumb question... there is no BEST way to learn a language. It depends on the person for what method works for them.

[watarujazz]

For all English speakers, it's just wasting your time if your study only with apps. You need a native speaker who can teach you grammar in English.

What’s the best way to learn Japanese? One look at YT and now you’ll get 101 different answers. Absurd! 😂❤

[minsteralbarn]

For me one of the best for vocabulary is renshuu it even shows you the hiragana above the kanji for each word and all that

[Shura]

best way is to use duolingo to learn kana, anki to learn vocab and genki and youtube for grammar and after you get the basics of grammar, know all of kana and some vocab start studying kanji and expanding vocab via anki and immersion

[Petropiax]

The tutorial for Anki would be great 😭🙏

[Frnzy]

I clicked on this video and stayed due to your formal and professional information sharing! i was surprised you dont have more thsn 5k subs, keep up the good work man!

[jaydenmoon]

The reason I am learning Japanese is for anime and video games - I hate that there are cool games that I otherwise would never get to play - great vid insta sub 😊❤

[BokushingusKendoTV]

I have been using Google translator 日本語から英語まで
It’s a good way i can practice speaking which I’m bad at.

Hearing in so much better. Also been reading entry level Manga.

Duolingo is weird. Sometimes you'd get sentences such as "the elephant eats cheese and drinks wine" (at least when learning Dutch). At first I really liked it though, but the competitive part is annoying as I'm a really competitive kind of person so I'd be spending way too much time. Today I removed the app. Thanks for your information, I'll give anki a go for sure.
