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.

Is it rude to practice your Japanese when interacting with a Japanese server at a restaurant?
How to fix a solar bicycle tail light? Bought my bike 6 months ago and the light stopped working. Not sure how to fix it.
Realistically, how much japanese can I learn in 9-10 months?
Probably averaging at around 5-6 hours per day, give or take. I’m not an absolute beginner; I know all kana and a decent chunk of kanji as well as my pronounciation being pretty decent, l’m planning to go on high school exchange for a year starting September 2024 and the program requires you to be able to have normal conversations, as well as at least 2 years in school of Japanese but l’ve had 7 through my old school so that’s checked off. I know extremely basic sentences like asking for numbers, names, etc. Could I get to N4/maybe even N3 level in this period of time if I really tried?
Where can I find katakana bracelet beads? Like alphabet ones, but with katakana on them. I’m in the US. I tried to make a post about this, but auto mod directed me here…
If you can’t answer, please direct me to someone who can.
