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?

    the one proven way to learn anything is spaced repetition.

    could try flash cards with multiple example for each of your most 苦手な (personally difficult) phrases.

    could also try using it in conversation with everyone, even who don’t learn/speak Japanese. embrace the awkwardness, as they say.

    I’d also like to recommend YouTube channels that teach Japanese phrases using clips from dramas, films, anime, books, comics. unfortunately, Japan copyright law gives corporations the power to create a chilling effect across social media and Japan society as a whole. but maybe you can use this English learning channel by reverse engineering to observing the Japanese explanations for English terms & phrases
