I taught myself Spanish and German. The BEST method I have for learning a language is to speak it. You learn SO MUCH MORE by speaking with native speakers. If you cannot do that, look up mock conversations or practice with Siri or bixbi or whatever you have. The conversation won’t be perfect, but it’s something. We learn better by listening and doing. Input, output. Good luck guys!

I notice her method skips learning the Hiragana and Katakana

3 weeks??! Here i am planning to finish one book per year

Great video, but your pronunciation of kanji hurt my soul.

Anyone know Alivia? I just hope she’s ok. 🙏🏼

Me im planning to do them buy the next basic textbook and then I will go over genki again and repeat

Why is the cover different?

I'm just starting to learn (well, trying to learn) Japanese, so I'll dofo check out the link. Thank you 😊 🙏

This was SO so helpful

Thank you for making the video, but it is probably obsolete now that Anki's UI has changed substantially. I'll need to look for a more up-to-date one.

I’m so confused how you learned one book in 3 weeks? Even with 4 hours a day. It took me 3 months to finish one book and actually learn what’s in it. You must have a crazy good memory 😱.

The Anki link no longer works

Unfortunately the deck is no longer available

Thank you so much.

Thank you for making this video tutorial. I was able to get everything set up and go through my first lesson for the day! Thanks!

The 1st time I watched this video was a couple years ago and I had no problem following the steps and installing tampermonkey, wanikani open framework and double-click on a Windows 10 PC. But now (2 yrs later in 2024) I'm trying to install it on a Windows 11 laptop and I'm getting errors. Also, what has happened to this video -- it didn't use to be so blurry. Anyway, can anyone help me with this? The error I'm getting is Script: C:\Users\djoli\Downloads\Wanikani Open Framework.user.js Line: 22 Char: 2 Error: Syntax error Code: 800A03EA Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

Can I pass jlpt n4 with genji 1+2?

I love you so much. God bless you for this video, you explained it in the absolutely perfect way for a dummie like me to understand.

I really don't like how genki books are organised. Not user-friendly. Confusing.

I would like to do something the same I do prefer to focus on a language comprehension before my language production so, I think your experience and explaining how this textbook is structured is really helpful thank you so much

I have 294 reviews on Wanikani rn so I'm ready to do them along with you! I'm 3 years late but I'm hoping this'll help me to get them all done. :) I'll update here as I go! Edit: I did those reviews a while ago and now I’m at around 300+. I’m going to watch this to get caught up again :)

I started Genki 1 in late 2013...made it as far as chapter 8 (no kanji) in 2021 & gave up. I'm back on chapter 8 again, this time I learned the kanji!!!

I’m sick on lesson 1 got 3 days now even though I’m getting perfect score. His to move to next lesson?

ive referenced this video at least 3 times re setting up my wani kani on different computers over time lmao. I wanted to make sure to let you know that this was really helpful and you are super appreciated.

also for anyone complaining about the deck being gone just search up its name and one or two tried and true copies will come up

attempting this on mobile and the only thing I couldn’t change was the new interval. it was set at “1,00” and I couldn’t change it to anything else I tried lol plus the settings on mobile are say “1,31” instead of “131%” HAHAHA thank you for your help ❤️‍🔥 you made anki less frightening and dreadful

どもありがとございます

Best and most underrated Japanese learning channel 🥹

I got ginpachi sensei a light novel just I only just started learning Japanese full stop

this is so real thank you

is this AI? shes just typing entire words with her mind?

Thanks finally i know how to use this app because of you. This app is just too complex for me

thank you so much!!

Very helpful, Alivia! I will give them a go. I'm 77 y o male in Texas and have been "learning" Japanese for 40 years. Lately, I have listened to Yoshie, a Japanese lady living in Paraguay. Also to Miru, who is a little ol' lady who has interesting topics about Japan (not the walk-around random lesson, but usually a topic like honne vs tatemae.) Yuka has a new series where she takes a snippet of live conversation with a store salesperson or a cafe hostess in unscripted conversations. These conversations have the advantage of using polite words, shortened words, filler words, and technical words all in one salad, and then she analyzes every little ne? to show what it means. All in Japanese, although she also speaks very fluent Chinese on some videos. Thanks for the new sources. I agree with your opinion about youtube being the best resource. I love kanji and it is also improving as I listen to. It also helps to anchor new vocabulary if I have a visual that is familiar. KZbin helps tons. I love your enthusiasm and helpfulness. Keep it coming!

That’s crazy $22k for 4 books

Hi Alivia, please come back, I really wish I can watch more videos from your chanel.

Please come back, I love your videos, It makes me feel motivated.

The pronunciation is brutal.

Are there online MP3s or audio files in place of the CDs? Both my desktop and laptop PCs don’t have a CD drive

Hello, I just started and have watched a few of your videos and plan to watch more. Thank you so much for all your help because even though I was excited a few times I was like UGH already nah lolol. Then I came across your videos and so far you are number two on my list besides an instructor who teaches Japanese. Keep up the good work and I hope I see more form you soon")

Anyone have the link for the ankindeck? Link in description doesn't work :(

Slow down. Who cares how quickly and superficially someone else can do something ? SRS takes time to burn an entry into your memory. Have a life and do other things while SRS works its magic. Expect Genki 1 to take 3-4 months. Genki 2 may take 5-6 months. If you do it all in a year, that's great; Think of how much you will have learned ! You will probably also be doing WaniKani (at a setting of about 5 words per day) to learn the Kanji at the same time. If you try to go faster than that, the reviews will build up and crush you. You won't have any time left to learn the grammar with Genki. You will start to dread learning Japanese and that's not good. A karate teacher put an empty glass on an outdoor table and asked me to fill it. I used a pitcher of water and slowly filled the glass. I didn't spill a drop, but I left room so the glass could be raised without spilling. Then, the teacher demonstrated what happens when you try to fill the glass with a fire hose. The glass shattered when it hit the wall 20 feet away. In the end, there was no water in the glass. You are the glass... choose your approach wisely. How many of you are in such a hurry, you are attempting the fire hose approach to learning Japanese? The mascot of WaniKani is a tortoise. Can you guess why ? Yes, grasshopper... The tortoise beats the hare in the end. (Every freakin' time.) If you keep crawling along, eventually you will get there and there probably won't be any rabbits at the finish line. It takes years to learn something as complex as Japanese. Set a reasonable pace and celebrate your progress as you go. In a year, you will be miles ahead of the speedsters who got behind on reviews, got depressed, and had their motivation totally destroyed. They will all be out failing at some new project as you move toward your goal with discipline and calmness. Slow down and you will get there. People who brag about doing it quickly are usually full of 5hit. They often are the ones who had many false starts and finally made it 20 years after they first began. When they say they did it in a year, they leave out the part where they started over a decade ago and restated last year. It's kind of like the pregnant women who have their baby and then report a miraculous 50 pound weight loss in a few months to sell their new diet plan.

I started Wanikani yesterday, and today I'm not getting any new lessons, and 0 reviews. Why?

Why do I need to learn vocabulary before learning kanji? Doesn't Wanikani teach kanji AS WELL as vocabulary?

how are you able to telepathically write the answers in wanikani?

Your video was very detailed..thank you.. What are the steps to sync this to mobile so that I get notifications of cards and see the cards on my phone every day

You're the best, thanks

Should i know all basic hiragana before starting genki? I have genki and know 90% of hiragana. But should i not start it until im perfect with hiragana?

im kinda trying to prepare for my college japanese class. think ill do ok doing this before it i got 25ish days before classes start so i kinda wanna prepare a bit for it :3 i dont know if well use genki yet but least i want to get my self rdy

FYI, "Kanji" is pronounced "kon-ji".
