In response to user feedback, this is a recurring thread for general discussion about learning Japanese, and for asking your questions about grammar, learning resources, and so on. Let’s come together and share our successes, what we’ve been reading or watching and chat about the ups and downs of Japanese learning.
The /r/Japanese rules (see [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/about/rules/)) still apply! Translation requests still belong in /r/translator and we ask that you be helpful and considerate of both your own level and the level of the person you’re responding to. If you have a question, please check the subreddit’s [frequently asked questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/?f=flair_name%3A%22FAQ%E3%83%BB%E3%82%88%E3%81%8F%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F%22), but we won’t be as strict as usual on the rules here as we are for standalone threads.

So I’ve been reading クータマ via the mangaz.com site. It’s actually really funny. If I was a 9 year old kid I could see myself cackling at this comic. It’s a fun one, with good kanji exposure and furigana.
I’m almost finished, so I’ll be looking for my next read pretty soon. I’d love some recommendations at this reading level. 🙂
I’m just not sure where to start. What the best book, app, program, etc is for someone who is a square one Japanese learner.
Any suggestions?
Hello! I’m curious about the pronunciation of Japanese names [in this scene](https://youtu.be/QOZeEH_NKZU?t=323) from The Final Countdown. Is this the correct way to pronounce these words in Japanese?
Does anyone have a resource where you can watch Japanese movies with Japanese subtitles?
I’ve read that consuming media this way is a much more effective way of learning the language than using English subtitles. But I’m having a really hard time finding any.
Yesterday [I bought Spirited Away on DVD](https://www.reddit.com/user/Splatterman27/comments/srr20q/why_are_japanese_subtitles_so_hard_to_find_ive/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) and it doesn’t even have them. Struggling here, any tips would be appreciated
