YukittyThanks for discovering my website! I’m Yukitty from Japan!
I hope this website will help you study Japanese to watch anime or Japanese content without subtitles as much as possible.
Let’s start from here!
STEP
Memorize Hiragana and Katakana
At first, you should memorize Hiragana and Katakana which are Japanese alphabets, it greatly accelerates your understanding of Japanese.
STEP
Understand basic grammar
Next, you don’t have to learn Kanji yet. The needed thing is to understand the basic grammar of Japanese. It helps your understanding of anime scripts. Because almost all Japanese grammatical words are written in Hiragana.
STEP
Watch Japanese content with subtitles
Finally, I recommend that you really watch Japanese content with subtitles (Japanese subtitles are better if you can) and gradually increase the sentences, vocabulary, and Kanji that you can understand.
On this website, I break down and introduce the sentences actually used in the anime, vtubers, news, etc.
