Have you ever seen 「々」? 🤔
It’s a symbol used to repeat the previous kanji!

English: I’m tired
Japanese options:
・疲れた (tsukareta) – physically tired
・だるい (darui) – lazy / sluggish tired
・しんどい (shindoi) – mentally + emotionally tired

The difference between "〜と会(あ)う" and "〜に会(あ)う".👩‍🏫

[Nihongo Life｜日本語で日本を理解する @nihongo_no_kai]

Japanese words you should know:

空気（くうき） = atmosphere

空気を読む = “read the room”

This is one of the most important skills in Japan.

It’s not about guessing.

It’s about caring.

白物家電：しろものかでん=White home appliances
When renting/buying a home in Japan, it is generally customary to purchase your own appliances (some rental properties, may come furnished with appliances)
Which home appliance is indispensable to you?

@Karai_Dan 私もペラペラになりたいんです。頑張りましょう！

@SweetLilyCake Definitely watch something you would be interested in! Medicine and business is hard especially if you’re just starting to learn the Language. Vlogs are the way to go! Thanks for sharing!

I finally passed JLPT N4! 🎉
But let’s be real: Learning Japanese feels like trying to read a barcode while riding a rollercoaster.
I’m currently battling N3, but I’ve learned 5 "Senpai Tips" that would’ve saved me months of stress at the start. 👇

6/6 Immersion isn't a test; it's a lifestyle. 🇯🇵

It takes time to rewire your brain, but every dish you wash while listening counts toward your fluency! 🧽

What’s your "stealth study" moment? Are you a car-wash learner or a gym-session listener? Tell me below! 👇

[Gyrald | ジャイラルド @gyrald]

1/6 I used to think "Immersion" meant listening to Japanese news until my brain melted. 🫠
Biggest mistake ever.

If you’re N5/N4, you need "Comprehensible Input." Here’s how I stopped "translating" in my head and started actually listening. 👇

5/6 Learn to "Accept the Fog." 🌫️

My biggest breakthrough? Realizing it’s okay to only understand 40%. Stop the mental tug-of-war!

Let the Japanese wash over you like the shower water. Your brain is a pattern-matching machine. If you relax, the "fog" clears on its own.

Don't quit the game just because the mechanics got complex. The view from the next level is worth the grind.

Which "Boss" are you fighting today?
A) Transitive/Intransitive 👹
B) Kanji Hydra 🐉
C) Keigo Final Boss 👑
Drop a letter! 👇 #JapaneseLearners #JLPT

1/4 Japanese doesn’t actually get harder. You just finished the tutorial and walked into a Boss Level.
If you’re currently stuck in the "Transitive vs. Intransitive" dungeon, congratulations: You’ve officially leveled up.
Here’s why the struggle is a good sign.👇

[Gyrald | ジャイラルド @gyrald]

3/4 But here’s the secret: This struggle is just your XP bar filling up.
If the grammar feels heavy, it’s because you’re carrying more knowledge than you were yesterday. You aren't failing; you're just mid-battle with a high-level enemy. Don’t give up and keep going!

“Every Kanji you learn is a win!” 💪🏼

[SHU🇯🇵 @SHU24une]

If you're studying Kanji���

You are absolutely incredible. 🙏
Even native Japanese speakers struggle — most will admit there are Kanji they've never seen.
YOU are learning them as a foreign language. Don't underestimate that. 💪
Every Kanji you learn is a win. ���
