Hey everyone,
I’ve been studying Japanese for almost 1.5 years now and I am currently trying to conquer N4.
I am not having ANY trouble with vocab and kanji, but the grammar is making me go absolutely crazy.
My current approach is literally just “working off” a list of N4 grammar on JLPT Sensei and checking off items I’ve already learned. I usually look at the rule definiton, the example sentences of JLPT Sensei and then make my own ones.
But I don’t really feel confident at all and I am not sure what I can do to try to make my grammar better. I already Bunpro before but that became more of a “sentence silhouette matching”, because I more so remembered the shape of the sentence instead of the actual grammar.
Any tips?


Not really helpful advice for learning it, but I think just getting familiar is a good start.
I like the way https://sakubi.neocities.org/ emphasizes it:
That is specific to that guide, but the idea being just not to worry about perfectly memorizing. Reading will be enough to better understand the points.
But if you’re trying to push it to the next level, grabbing a textbook’s workbook would probably be a good idea.
Oh! That looks really good!
I’ve only ever tried Tae Kim’s guide and I felt like that was too much of a “dictionary” rather than an actual guide.
I’ll definitely take a look at this! Thanks! :D
