So if I can get to a level where i can read light novels, i might actually become very fluent in japanese… At least reading lol. The story i read was pretty engaging and funny for a short story made for learning. I’m really looking forward to getting to a level where i can read visual novels and light novels etc….
So here is the link to the story”: [https://tadoku.org/japanese/book/8777/#bd-look-inside](https://tadoku.org/japanese/book/8777/#bd-look-inside)
And this is what i got from it. Hopefully it’s right lol.

>!The only thing is that だれ means who, not “him.” かれ is him. !<
Good job, now just keep going:
Step 2. Learn Words
Step 3. Learn Grammar
Step 4. Try and use level appropriate media
Step 5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
Repeat that loop and you’ll be good.
That’s awesome!
That’s Awesome OP. Keep up the great work
Some of the stories in those grades readers are really great! I’m able ro read the level 2 ones now, but I don’t take enough time to do it…
AYYY! This was also my first one! I was super excited when I finished it, congrats! 🥺💛
>!Oh, I know! I’ll draw myself a boyfriend!!<
Good thing breaking through stereotypes and showing us that girls can be crazy weebs too.
Great job! It only gets more rewarding from here. Good luck with your studies!
Thanks for the link OP! I’m pretty early in kanji learning and also managed to read the whole thing, felt pretty good!
Congratulations!! Doesn’t matter how small it seems, reading your first story and knowing it all is a fantastic feeling. Hopefully this motivates you to keep learning even more!!
I’m something of a beginner too and understood all of that, which felt great. Thanks for the link and well done!
Just read this comic while on the loo, nice story
Congrats! That is a huge accomplishment. おめでとう
