Hey 日本語 learners.
I just finished Tobira, the journey has been great so far. For those who sort of followed the same path, do you think I should continue with Shinkanzen Master or Quartet 2?
Since I haven’t started with Quartet, I find it odd to start with the second part.
What do you guys think?

If you mean tobira as in the N3/early N2 Tobira book, not the
new beginner Tobira one, then I’d recommend just dropping textbooks and just start reading native material. Look up the stuff you don’t understand in a grammar guide/grammar index/vocab dictionary, and pick up the rest from immersion. You should already be advanced enough to be able to read simple manga and light novel (or whatever interests you) as long as you have a dictionary with you.
If reading is an interest, I’d suggest Kanji in Context Workbook Volume I. It’s a nice segue from textbooks to N1-level or native material. This is if you’re the type who doesn’t mind reading hundreds of disjointed exemplary sentences. Some people want a story, and it’s important to do what’s fun or interesting for you.
And when most of us hear “Tobira” we will think of the intermediate one, not the new, beginner one. Maybe you should specify.
