Self learning materials
In the past few months, I've come across a number of materials that I
wish I'd had found years ago. In order to grow as language learners, we
must be exposed to the language in all of its occurences over and over
again. So, for you, I've organized below some Japanese resources--not
all of which I've tried just yet--to help round out your journey through
the language.
