Hello everyone,
I tried to learn Japanese 2 years ago, but I gave up. Now I want to pick it up again. I remember some hiragana, some katakana and some kanji, but of course I need to learn from the beginning.
Since I know very little Japanese I feel like now I can decide the way I can learn it. This time my strategy will be that first learning many 100\~200 words (both kanji and non-kanji) but these words will be in sentences, not learning them individually, so that I also can absorb the grammar maybe a little easier / or this can help me to understand the reading of the kanji relating to its meaning. As I learn more words, I am hoping to get better.
Is there anyone who tried this method? Could this work? Or will it backfire?

Just read a textbook or grammar guide. They have words and sentences and explanations.
Study grammar specifically. There’s plenty of stuff online. Knowing basic grammar helps a lot.
100-200 words is not a lot of words. To even start meaningful reading (without having to look up every single word), you want to know about 1000 of the most common words.
Here’s my [usual advice](https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/s5mtva/comment/ht1lo0x/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), but also check the side bar “[starter’s guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/wiki/index/startersguide/)”.
