Just getting back into studying, and although I had many people recommend Genki to me as a good “refresher” resource, taking a look at it, it seems to be geared more toward classrooms rather than self-study. I also tend to study at my computer these days, so a physical book isn’t ideal, and I’d rather not stare at a PDF for hours either.
So anyway, while searching around for resources I came across Marumori io, a site that I don’t think was around when I was active before, which seems like a great digital alternative to Genki. I was actually a bit shocked that I hadn’t heard of it, or that it hadn’t been recommended. I guess that’s because it’s fairly new, but I figured I’d make this post in case anyone else was searching for this kind of resource.
It has quite detailed grammar lessons, and a grammar SRS system as well. I also think you can go through kana/kanji/vocab SRS too, although I mainly plan on using the site for grammar.
But yeah, if you’re someone who’s similar to me, and likes detailed, textbook-style grammar lessons but wants them online and accessible, it might be worth checking it out. Also curious to see if anyone else has used the site and what their thoughts are.
