How to practise between lessons
The website teaches the pattern. Fluency comes from short, repeated drills.
Kana
One row a day
Cover the romaji, read aloud, then write from memory. Use paper, Tofugu’s hiragana guide, or Gojūon OTG only after you close the lesson.
Vocabulary
The same words twice
Copy today’s words, then look them up in Jisho. Keep one list in a notebook, Anki, or Tango Lingo.
Verbs
Three verbs, one form
Pick 食べる, 行く, and する. Recheck the group in Tae Kim’s guide if needed. Extra reps in Doushi Master come after paper.
Each name links to an official page. Gojūon OTG, Tango Lingo, and Doushi Master are published by Japality Limited, which also maintains this course.
