Verb Conjugation Practice 動詞の活用

This is like me trying to do potential, causative, causative-passive, and passive forms. I find myself doing the conjugation step by step which is way too slow for speaking.

This is by far the best interface that I’ve used! It doesn’t have causative-passive, though. That’s okay because I can practice that when I get the others down.

Alternatives

For my reference.

This one has more challenging modes, like changing from a non-dictionary form.

Don’s Japanese Conjugation Drill

For causative-passive practice

Workbook: Verb Conjugation (Causative-passive) – Lesson 23 | Genki Study Resources – 2nd Edition

And the above is also a great resource if you’re using the Genki textbooks.

The Miraa app makes it easy to listen and repeat (the shadowing/echoing technique).

It has a paid version, but I find the free version to be good enough

その他(た)のツール

Useful for reading out my transcripts. It already sounds much more natural than I do, so I can import it to Miraa and shadow my writings.

10ten Japanese Reader (Rikaichamp)

This is a Chrome extension that I use. I used to use Yomichan and then Yomitan after Yomichan sunsetted. But I personally like 10ten’s UI.

my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!

as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.

Checked it out and the catalogue is great for Indonesian and German. Not much for Japanese and for Korean it seems to be all in the category of spiritual at the moment.
