Effective self-study methods for beginners in Japanese communication
Balancing between communication practice and grammar study
Thinking about Japanese grammar during conversations can make you anxious about not using correct structures or undermine your confidence and natural ability, significantly reducing communication effectiveness. So, how should you balance grammar here? Aim for grammar to only account for 15% and focus more on listening and speaking skills.
Learning phrases instead of individual words
When starting to learn Japanese communication, people often tend to choose to learn individual vocabulary words because they think it will be faster to remember. However, in reality, as the number of words increases over time, you may become overwhelmed and truly discouraged because of the many words you have learned without knowing how to apply them in speaking and writing. An effective way of learning Japanese vocabulary for many people is to learn phrases. Because with that phrase, you can create many different sentences. Do not try to translate Vietnamese into Japanese because their nature and order are different.
Learning Japanese through the internet
Just studying alone is not enough; practical application is necessary
You know a lot of vocabulary, you listen to many conversations, but you still cannot communicate in Japanese? You cannot transform your thoughts into specific words to convey to others? The main reason for this is that you haven't spent enough time practicing. Try increasing the frequency of practicing listening and speaking Japanese every day more than you currently do, and you will notice a significant difference. If there is still no change in results, then you need to reconsider your Japanese learning method. If learning through textbooks is no longer suitable, you can learn Japanese through songs or movies to combine learning with relaxation, which will help you absorb information more effectively.
