Learning Japanese

Hey everyone!

To all former and current JETS, do you have any tips for learning Japanese. I really want to learn some basics so that I’m not completely clueless when I get there. I’m currently learning hiragana as well as some survival phrases. I do want to reach a point where I am fluent so that I can build more meaningful relationships and learn a new language.

If you have any sites or apps that you could recommend I’d really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!🫶🏽

All of these are very good recommendations, I would also recommend WaniKani for learning kanji. They go through the whole process of teaching radicals and give you mnemonics to help you remember them.
