Japanese for Total Beginners || How and Where to Start Studying Hey guys, Iâm going to try and answer my most commonly asked questions that I continuously receive in the next following weeks so if thereâs anything youâd like answered feel free to submit your questions. Iâm also going to try and find a new theme as a lot of you guys have mentioned that youâre unable to view my FAQ page while on your mobile devices so once Iâve found a good theme Iâll ask you guys to check it out so that you can let me know if it works or not! This post is going to be regarding how to study Japanese as a total beginner. The single most commonly asked question that I receive (and I get asked this at least once a week since starting my blog back in 2016) is something along the lines of âIâve never studied Japanese before but I really want to, but I have no idea where to start.â so Iâm going to try and answer this question today to the best of my abilities. WHAT SHOULD I LEARN FIRST? I recommend starting off with learning the kana system (hiragana and then katakana). While learning how to read, write, and recognise kana, you should also spend time learning how to properly pronunciate the kana. Learning Japanese pronunciation at this step will help you a great deal as you start progressing into learning the language. Once youâve learnt kana you can move onto introducing basic grammar structures and basic vocabulary together. If youâre self-teaching I really recommend getting a textbook because most textbooks introduce grammar and vocabulary together in easy to understand ways. If you cannot afford to purchase a textbook there are PDFs floating around online and many websites that offer free Japanese lessons. Once you can use kana, understand some basic grammar and vocabulary, and are able to produce your own basic sentences, I would then introduce simple kanji. This would include numbers, days of the week, months, and the kanji version of some vocabulary youâve learnt (such as ç§ăťăăăďźéŁăšăťăăš). After that itâs just a matter of introducing new grammar, vocab, and kanji which will gradually increase in difficulty as you continue to progress through the language. SHOULD I LEARN GRAMMAR OR VOCABULARY FIRST? Vocabulary for me is mostly memorisation - memorising the meaning and the word/characters - and then simply applying the vocabulary to the grammar structure, which is why I like learning them together because I think that they tend to go hand-in-hand. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I STUDY JAPANESE? This really comes down to the individual as it depends on your own personal schedule and abilities. Some people ate able to study every single day and others can only do it a couple times, or just once a week. The key is finding a routine that works for you and keeping at it to the best of your abilities. They say it takes 21 days for something to become a habit. What works best for me is studying early in the morning after waking up and then I feel I can go about my day without any concerns. I have an entire tag dedicated to immersing yourself into the Japanese language so feel free to check it out. WHATâS A GOOD STUDY ROUTINE? I often get asked to provide specific details or give study routines regarding where to begin with studying Japanese so below is my recommendations on where to start. Hiragana:
Begin with learning the 5 vowels in Japanese (A, I, U, E, O) - learn how to read, write, pronounce, and recognise them.
Continue with learning vowels + consonants (K, S, T, N, H, M, R, Y, W) - learn how to read, write, pronounce, and recognise them.
Study the exceptions (SHI, CHI, TSU, FU) - Try to memorise these in particular as they can confuse beginners quite easily.
Katakana:
Study katakana similarly to how you studied hiragana beginning with vowels, and then moving onto consonants and focusing on the exceptions.
Try to create your own flashcards in order to memorise the characters.
There are also a number of apps designed to help you recognise and memorise hiragana and katakana characters as well as to test your knowledge on them.
Vocabulary + Grammar:
I would begin with learning basic expressions such as greetings and self-introductions. Iâd use the information from this website to find basic expressions and greetings.
Once youâve memorised some basic expressions you should move onto basic grammar and vocab.Â
I learnt by using the Genki textbook so I recommend following their order of lessons, otherwise you can search on google for Japanese lessons to follow.
Make sure to study Japanese particles very seriously as they can often stump Japanese learners! Donât be afraid to spend a long time studying them.
Kanji:
Once youâve mastered kana and are comfortable with creating basic sentences in Japanese, I would start introducing kanji. As I mentioned before I would start with numbers, days of the week, months, and then kanji versions of vocabulary that youâve already learned.
If you search âKanji lessonsâ on google youâll come across some useful websites like this one.
After this you just have to continue building up your grammar, vocab, and kanji knowledge. Resources: PDFs -

My man Jesus
What story is that?
Matthew 18:9
âAnd if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.â
âJesus, how can I avoid sin when all these hussies keep revealing the fact that they have bodies?!â
âHmmm, tough call bro. Have you tried gouging out your eyes so you donât have to see all those bodies anymore?â
âwutâ
âWhat?â
âShouldnât you tell them to⌠stop dressing like that or something?â
âDonât see why. Itâs not their fault that the fact that they have bodies makes you a fucking sinful horndog. Gotta fix that problem yourself, buddy. Go on, blind yourself.â
âUhâŚ.â
âOr learn to keep it in your gâdamn pants no matter what theyâre wearing.â

How to do âextraâ facial expressions!
Drawing basic facial expressions is not the hardest. Most people can draw a sad face, a happy face, angry etc., but making more multidimensional expressions is more of a challenge. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how I draw facial expressions, (specifically âangsty onesâ) telling me that they are very dramatic and well⌠expressive! And there are actually only a few things I think about when I draw faces that take them to the next level, so I thought iâd illustrate them all here!
SUPER IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE WE START: Look at your own face when you draw faces. Even making the face when you are drawing (you donât even have to look at it), will give you some sense of how the face muscles pull and where things fold and stretch, because you can feel it. You are the best reference when it comes to facial expressions!
AnglesÂ
Draw the head in an angle that matches the expressions you want to make. It is not a requirement, but is going to add to the effect.
Symmetry vs asymmetryÂ
A face is rarely symmetric. Unless the face the character is making is 100 % relaxed or even dissociating, the eyebrows, mouth and facial muscles will have different placements of their respective side. This image shows the dramatic impact asymmetry has on a face:Â
Thatâs the difference between a smile and a smirk!
The first oneâs like âoh yeah?â and the second is like âoH YEAH??â
The âballoon squishing principleâ
This is something I did subconsciously, and I didnât know about until I made this tutorial. And this principle goes hand in hand with an asymmetric face. Basically, if you squish one part of the face, you need to even out the empty space by âinflatingâ the other part of the face so that it doesnât appear shrunken. The picture hopefully explains it:
TeethÂ
Donât forget to add the gum when the mouth is open to its full potential!
Squinting and folding
Adding folds around the eyes when a character is squinting makes a HUGE difference. It makes a smile more genuine and a growl more intimidating. Adding folds to the face in general makes your characters more lifelike and âvisually relatableâ. Like, they look human, and less plastic or fake.
and so on..
Pupils and irisesÂ
The placement of the iris and pupil in relation to the eyelids is very important! The less of the white you see, the more relaxed the character is.Â
And then of course eyebrows and eyes go hand in hand!
Gestures, spitting, sweatingâŚÂ
Adding more elements than just a face is key to making the character actually look like they are feeling what you want them to feel. Just the tiniest sweat drop adds to their anxiety, spitting adds frustration to their rage, slouching shoulders, waving hands, a double chin, extreme angles, the list goes on! Add whatever and see what kind of impact it makes! Does it do the trick? Great! Add it!Â
Over exaggeration!!Â
Remember that you can almost always exaggerate more. Donât be afraid to do draw âtoo muchâ because youâre just experimenting. See what works and what doesnât. What do you like to exaggerate?
Now that you know some theory, itâs time to practice!
Practicing!!Â
The 25 Essential Expressions (a classic! Iâve done it multiple times)
And the one I do when Iâm bored:
Fill a page with circles and fill them in with different expressions. Try and exaggerate as much as you can!Â
This is mostly for experimenting. They are quicker to draw than complete faces, but the same rules should apply!
And thatâs about it!
I donât know if I covered everything in this tutorial, since some things might be obvious for me, and this post perhaps only scratches the surface. So feel free to send me a message if you want an explanation about something more in depth! Thank you for reading! And now DRAW!!! â¨đ¨
