After years and years (or better said, weeks) I have finally gotten around doing my Japanese language masterpost. All links listed are resources that I have used to study for (and pass!) the N5 exam, but they are great for beginners as wel! I would also like to thank lovely Julie @designstudy for giving me the inspiration (and motivation) to finish this mp! So here we go:
►Books
→ here are the books I’ve used to study and fully reccomend to others as well (all are great for beginners too)
Genki
Minna no Nihongo
Kanji Challenge
Japanese for busy people: I, II, II
►Mnemonics!
→life is hard, Japanese is harder, do yourself a favor and use mnemonics
Hiragana
Katakana
Kanji
►Kanji, Vocabulary and Grammar
→even if you don’t plan to take the N5, knowing these will definitely give you a better grasp of the language
Kanji List for N5
Vocabulary List for N5
Grammar List for N5
►Practice, practice, practice!
→I cannot stress this enough. If you want to make any progress in studying this language or getting good scores on your exam, practice is vital!

►Grammar help

Useful websites for grammar: here and here
The coolest Japanese dictionary out there
►Music

Kenshi Yonezu
Daoko
Utada Hikaru
Mondo Grosso
Ichiko Aoba

►Fun stuff

…and on a final note, some tips:
Be consistent. From my experience, Japanese is a language that if not studied constantly, can be easily forgotten
Use separate notebooks/folders for grammar and vocabulary. You will thank me for this one later.
If you want your kanji/katakana/hiragana/whatever it is that you are writing to look neat, follow the stroke order ! ! !
Quizlet is your best friend when it comes to remembering vocabulary
Hope this helped someone!! Also if you have any questions/need some advice on where to begin, please don’t hesitate to hmu @sttudy

Introduction post. (Might update)
Hello, this is my Tumblr where I post some random thoughts. I hope you would enjoy our conversations.
About me:
I'm in my early twenties.
She/Her
My native language is Russian but my English level is C1 (not official). So you can see me posting in both languages. I also study German.
I'm Sagittarius.
I'm multifandom. I can talk about different fandoms (TV shows, cartoons, anime, video games). Right now it's pretty hard to list the fandoms I'm in.
I'm a fic writer and a translator. I enjoy reading and writing fan fictions.

Пост приветствия. (Будут обновления)
Здравствуйте, это моя страница на Тамблере, где я публикую самые мысли. Надеюсь, что мы хорошо побеседуем.
Обо мне:
Мне за двадцать.
Она/Еë
Говорю на русском и на английском (уровень языка - C1, но это неофициально). Поэтому не удивляйтесь, если посты будут выходить на обоих языках. Я также изучаю немецкий.
Стрелец.
Мультифандомщик. Могу говорить о многих фандомах (сериалы, мультфильмы, аниме, игры). Сейчас трудно перечислить, в каких я фандомах.
Фикрайтер и переводчик. Мне нравится читать и писать истории.

if you write a strong character, let them fail.
if you write a selfless hero, let them get mad at people.
if you write a cold-hearted villain, make them cry.
if you write a brokenhearted victim, let them smile again.
if you write a bold leader, make them seek guidance.
if you write a confident genius, make them be wrong, or get stumped once in a while.
if you write a fighter or a warrior, let them lose a battle, but let them win the war.
if you write a character who loses everything, let them find something.
if you write a reluctant hero, give them a reason to fight.
