Japanese textbook haul from Kinokuniya! | 新しい日本語の教科書！

[Press CC for English subs!] I splurged a bit on new Japanese textbooks because my favorite bookstore closed down and had a sale. I'm sad about that, but happy to share my new books with you guys!

Omg I would lose my mind if there was a Japanese book sale. Good luck for your N2 revisions !! Also it was nice to hear you speak Japanese :D :D #LifeGoal

[@jdaragon7055]

Thank you so much for making these videos, they really are amazing! Every time I struggle to work on my Japanese textbook, I watch one of your videos and I instantly feel inspired to study... I'm really glad I have found your channel !

[@Imvicxo]

You're such an inspiration !! I'm on my learning Japanese journey and every time you show us all.the new books you get I get inspired to keep learning :)

Love watching your language related videos as always! On a side note though, please do tell us where you got your glasses - they very much suit you!

[@Camilshka]

Just chiming in as a relatively new watcher to say I love your videos, they’re wonderfully motivating and they are working wonderfully to inspire me to study my languages more. Also I just about died of adorable when you said ‘any-noodles’ :D (Oh, and you asked us to share resources we’re re enjoying... I can’t add much for Japanese as I am concentrating on my chinese and Norwegian more, but I have really enjoyed Mr Brain the tv show for Japanese exposure and would recommend it, it’s here on KZbin.)

There is a really good kinokuniya in the city I live in and it has been a great help! Being the main bookstore that comes to mind that sells Japanese learning books and just a wide variety of international books in general. It's sad to see the Singapore one close down, good luck studying for the N2!

Could you also film a video about your favorite Chinese textbooks? :)

[@RaduButarascu]

Ahhhh. I miss going to Kinokuniya!

[@austinheadrick]

Thanks for another great video, Lindie! I'm curious how you decided when you're ready to jump into a new language? I'm an American living in Korea and have studied Korean to about TOPIK 4. I've been interested in learning Japanese for a couple years because for my job I go to Japan and interact informally with a lot of Japanese people. However, since I'm aware of how much room I have to grow in Korean, learning Japanese feels like it would take away from my time with Korean. What are your thoughts? :)

[@BrandyKpop]

There is a kinokuniya here too! I hope they have a sale sometime soon!

[@slaine3166]

It’s been a long time I haven’t checked out your videos since I am having busy semester. After watching your video, I have few recommendations especially regards to the kanji category because I have already way surpassed the level of N1 and studying myself for 漢検 which is their official governmental test for examining your kanji skill. Since you spoke about the coverage that can provide all the kanji you need, I recommend you the 日本漢字検定協会’s whole series. The higher level you go, the more coverage of kanji you will see. I myself currently only holding one book of 準一級 (pre 1 level before the highest 1 level) because I don’t have that much time to put my time in it and it shows 常用漢字 2000 characters + extra academic 1,000 characters which is very helpful for reference purposes. It helps a lot as if it’s dictionary if you have to search for which kanji exactly you want. In terms of 3,000 character dictionary, the Kodansha’s Kanji Learner’s Dictionary, revised and expanded edition really helps a lot too considering it has in depth explanation of every each characters within in that range. I hope this reaches your Interest.

Hi Lindie! Do you read manga? If so, could you give us some recommendations? Thanks

[@Mark-ko8sc]

Hey Lindie how many years did it take you to you to pass the N3 level and have you aver thought about studying in Japan ? Also I'm actually studying for the N3 and i was wondering if it's better to study Japanese and other languages at University ( but I found out that the university brings you just at an N3 level which I already am ! ) or going to study in Japan for some months ?

[@LindieBotes]

I've been studying since 2014 and I took N3 last year. I have thought about studying in Japan but I'm working now and don't want to waste time until I'm really sure what I'd wanna do for masters. I have a video about learning languages at university so maybe that can help! I think immersion in Japan might be a better method than learning at university.

Your haul looks amazing! Is it alright if you could give us a link on where we can buy those? (I'm planning to search for the N5 versions of those books)

[@LindieBotes]

I'm not too sure where to get them online since I got them from the physical Kinokuniya store. Maybe you can try searching the titles online?

[@user-sw4ww3ho4q]

I loove your videos so muuuch. But I don't know how to learn a language😣. I've started with Korean and I know how to read and write but when it comes to speaking I don't know how to form and stuff. How do I keep track of learning ,what do I do, what do I start with😞 all this bothers me!

[@annab3592]

Hi! (I might not be Lindie, but maybe I can be helpful.) For me, learning languages is a journey of self-exploration. I'm always experimenting with my studies. I recommend that to you too. You might want to track the time you spend learning and write down how many hours you've put into a language (I use that to maintain a healthy relationship between the amount of money I spend on resources and the amount of time I'm actually using them, some mobile apps like Mastery or Timesheet are helpful). Or maybe you'll decide to buy a textbook and use its table of contents as a tracker. You could also take a step into the unknown, translate a topic you like into Korean, google it and try reading articles that show up (after a week of reading about "Tagebuch schreiben" in German I was seriously fed up, but the vocabulary stuck like glue afterwards, it was totally worth it). I hope some of this helps! Or gives you an idea of what to do.

[@user-sw4ww3ho4q]

@@annab3592 thank you!!! Any help is helpful. I'll definitely give these methods a try!

[@scentless_apprentice]

[@LannasMissingLink]

Does anyone know the books she got in either romaji or hirigana? I'm only starting to learn Japanese so didnt pick up on them all

[@LindieBotes]

These books are for N2 level which is advanced and thus wouldn't have romaji. I suggest you search for books specifically aimed at learning hiragana and then try find books at an N5 level.

[@LannasMissingLink]

@@LindieBotes oh ok thanks so much for responding! I do know hirigana and katakana, but I'm not sure how to push my learning at the moment because I'm basically at kids book reading level but I've done enough duolingo lessons to make my head explode and need something new..

[@LindieBotes]

@@LannasMissingLink I think you can focus on getting hiragana and katakana down before you start learning grammar and vocabulary. Just get the base first and then move on. Good luck!
