I have been learning Japanese for almost a year now. I am currently at a point where the best thing for me is to learn more vocabulary, since that will hopefully enable me to consume native media and which was one of my goals starting out.

For that, I currently use Anki, having done the Genki I vocab as well as the Tango N5 deck by TheMoeWay already, and working on the Tango N4 deck. After that, I think I might just start creating my own deck using the Animecards method.

As of now, I have put grammar somewhat on hold, since I am able to understand most simple sentences. I will eventually have to start looking at compound sentences, which looks very complicated. For grammar, I have mostly used Cure Dolly’s transcript, as well as some Genki I.

Outputting is an aspect I have no idea how to do on my own, and I have taken the Japanese courses at my university mostly to train my talking and writing skills and plan to take further courses.

ncmpcpp on Linux as a mpd frontend. I started using it during the “I want to do everything in the terminal” phase of a linux user, and it kinda grew on me.
