I recently imported the Kanji Learner's Course book and I gotta say, as someone who learned kanji via Remembering the Kanji... KLC >>>>>>> RTK. It's not even close. jfc. It's an incredible review for someone like me and I'm sure an even better first introduction to kanji than RTK
I need to go find all the places where I wrote about Japanese self-study recs and replace all the RTK plugs with KLC. This + Chase Colburn's Kanji app are perfect
@renkotsuban I am in desperate need to learn Japanese for real, and I have no option but to self study. Any experience with Bunpro? I have the core 2K deck on Anki but want something for grammar.
Also, what would be your recommendo for Kanji? I am nearly 40 and I don't want to keep learning "Mary is American and goes to high school" like Genki does for 8793647384 chapters if possible.
@hellerphant I don't have any experience with Bunpro but I've heard very good things about it. I personally use the grammar book in the Shin Kanzen Master N# series, tho those are only in Japanese (i.e. no English explanations) so it can be a pretty steep climb. Otherwise I don't spend a lot of time studying grammar points necessarily, so much as reading lots of stuff and then using these grammar dictionaries to look up stuff that I don't understand

@hellerphant As for reading practice, NHK Easy is good for starters, it has furigana that you can toggle plus has audio for each article (and not a robot voice either)

Manga and light novels are also great reading practice, and they are way more interesting than "Mary is an American" Genki practice ahahaha
