1. Cultivate interest. Interest is the best teacher. Maybe some people don’t like learning Japanese at the beginning or have no way to do it. Started to learn. Then develop your own interest in learning. Only if you are interested can you continue to support and make progress in the beginner stage. Many people have studied Japanese for half a year, but they are still stuck on the 50-sound chart because they have no interest and have not persisted in going deeper. But many Japanese game fans go to learn Japanese. This can also be seen as an indirect effect of interest. I started learning Japanese professionally from scratch. The first time I took dictation on stage and dictated five kana, I made two mistakes. Terrible. However, because I was interested in learning Japanese, I studied kana diligently every day and read Japanese textbooks thoroughly. I also actively spoke in class and memorized words and practiced them. As a result, my basic Japanese skills were pretty good. There are also ways to learn Japanese in daily life. For example, when you see an advertising slogan such as "食べ putIME", you can look it up in the dictionary and find out that it means "eat and drink to your heart's content". This will memorize one more word.

2. When choosing reading materials, pay attention to conciseness and simplicity means that the content is concise, short and concise. For example, read articles like "The Voice of Heaven and Human Language". Precision means that the writing style of the selected articles should be smooth. I have read "Japanese World" written by Japanese Mandarin expert Ms. Sasaki Mizue and I like it very much. Her articles are short and beautiful, which is very suitable for beginners. It is difficult to memorize a large number of words in the early stage of learning Japanese. At this time, you should read more intensive reading articles and read them several times to get a general grasp. On the basis of understanding the text, combined with memorizing vocabulary and grammar, you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you have enough energy to learn intensive reading, you can read some books on extensive reading. Generally for students, time is limited. So try to find time to study Japanese as much as possible during the day. Such as reading in the morning, before lunch break, and after returning to the dormitory in the evening. Studying Japanese is really tiring, so of course you need to relax. At this time, you might as well listen to Japanese songs. You may not be able to understand the slow-paced enka at first, but it’s not bad to understand a few words. Practice your listening! You can also look at the lyrics. Those lyrics generally use beautiful words and are very practical. For example, I first learned the word "phantom (まぼろし)" from the lyrics.

3. Don’t be ashamed to ask questions from your subordinates. Be diligent and inductive in learning foreign languages. The most taboo thing is being thin-skinned. Not only should you read and memorize every day. You have to ask every day, you can ask the experts or the teacher. If you have any Japanese friends you know, you might as well ask them. The name is also called ニックネ_ム (nickname=nickname, nickname). If you don’t understand, just ask. It’s best not to put off the questions of the day until tomorrow. You might as well make a summary of the key sentence patterns, difficult grammar, and regular words you encounter in daily life. This makes it easier to understand and remember. But don't just summarize it. Don't read it at ordinary times, and only think of it before the exam. That doesn't work well, and it's a waste of time to summarize. Generally, it is better to write class notes directly in the book, so that they can be seen at any time during reading for review and comparison. Such as: collection of idiomatic sentences, word training of a single Japanese character, and colloquial expressions of common sentence patterns, such as わかんない＝わからん＝わからない.こないだ＝この间, etc. There are also adverbs ending in り and と, such as: しきりに (repeatedly, repeatedly), ぴったり (tightly, just right, guess right), しっかり (well), びっしょり (soaked), etc. There are also proverbs, onomatopoeia, and grammar that appear in questions that have been done wrong many times. Of course, if there are too many things, you can just buy a book that specifically introduces these contents, such as a book that specifically introduces "Idiomatic Sentences".

4. Read extensively and learn to read extensively and understand comprehensively to a certain extent. The scope of extensive reading includes: 1. Books explaining Japanese-related knowledge. Such as "honorific words", "writing", "Japanese customs" (both Chinese and Japanese are acceptable), "auxiliary words", "auxiliary verbs", etc. I didn't buy a special grammar book, but I learned the grammar from the text. After reading a lot, I was deeply impressed, and the grammar foundation is not bad. If you are taking the exam, it will be very useful to buy "Japanese Language Proficiency Test Grammar Strategies Level 1-2". If possible, you can read Japanese news online.

2. Read more original novels: famous works by Japanese writers, such as "Snow Country" by Yasunari Kawabata, etc. Buying books with Japanese and Chinese versions will help you understand and compare. 3. Read more interesting books, such as "Japanese Shinkansen" and "Through Japanese" (now out of print). 4. Watch Japanese dramas, Japanese cartoons, and Japanese movies. Original Japanese comics (used bookstalls have many, which are also good). 5. Be brave enough to talk to others in Japanese, speak it every day, or talk to yourself. 6. Having a foundation in English is very helpful for learning Japanese. For example, most of the foreign words come from English, and there are many foreign words in IT and other industries. If you want to develop in IT in the future, you must learn English well. There are also many foreign words in international trade, such as リスク(risk), オ_ダ_(order), クレ_ム(claim), etc. Learning a language is not a matter of isolation. It is best to also understand Japan’s history, geography, cultural customs, and an overview of Japan. Only in this way can we better understand the cultural connotations in Japanese, such as おbon, Tanabata (たなばた), Adult Day, Japanese haiku, kyogen, and Sawa Liu (humorous and satirical short poems). 7. It is best to learn some Japanese dialects. Many businessmen in Osaka speak Kansai dialect. Such as: おおきに（ありがとう）, ほんま（ほんとう）, etc.

5. Practice writing diligently. In addition to composing and writing diaries, you can also learn by reading diaries written by Japanese people online. There are many colloquial expressions of young people in them, and there are also many abbreviations. You can also practice some translation exercises. Bring out your work and discuss it with everyone. There are always some surprises to be found. I usually write some Japanese diaries, even just a few sentences are useful. Going to the Japanese chat room to practice Japanese can also be considered as practicing writing, and it is very relaxing. I learned the word デブ (slang for fat people) in the Japanese corner. The topic of weight loss was being discussed at that time. If you are determined to learn Japanese, it is best to prepare a Japanese-Chinese dictionary. Japanese majors must buy a Japanese-Chinese dictionary with about 70,000 words. For ordinary learners, it is enough to buy a dictionary that can look up more than 20,000 words. It is better to buy a dictionary with a large capacity.

6. The most important thing about perseverance: persevere and learn to a certain level (more than 10,000 words, Japanese level 1 or above), memorize 5 new words every day, the words at this time are often difficult. , which is also one of the reasons why Japanese becomes more and more difficult the more you learn it. Persevere and don't rush for success. Some people say that you can pass international level 2 within 3 months from scratch. This is true. But after all, the time is too short, and a lot of knowledge is not yet firmly grasped. It is important to lay a solid foundation in Japanese. Learning the mother tongue well is the basis for learning Japanese, especially for literary translators. There is no end to learning, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as "live until you are old and learn until you are old". Finally, it ends with the well-known idiom 千里の道も一_から/A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
