Grammar
- Tae Kim's grammar guide
- I already finished this. It was a decent beginner material despite being free.
- Genki 1 and 2
- I think Genki and Tae Kim's guide overlap a lot. I'm probably going to skip this.
- imabi
- I was considering imabi as the next step since it was free and seemed comprehensive. But, someone told me that imabi isn't good as a learning material but nice as a reference material because it doesn't have a flow of practices. However, I may not need a smooth flow of exercises and practices since I already got the hang of japanese from Tae Kim's guide, and I'll have a lot of reading practices with reading materials.
- Tobira
- I also considered tobira as another next step, but it was somewhat expensive, and I couldn't even find the table of contents for the book. I definitely don't want to buy an expensive thing without knowing what's inside. Plus, I strongly prefer electronic documents(e.g. HTML, PDF, ...).

- Mining words and kanji from sentences in reading materials of appropriate levels
- Free Graded Readers on the Internet
- Since I am jobless, I looked for free graded readers, and I found free graded readers on the internet. Although commercial graded readers may be of higher quality, I want to avoid bleeding money. I suspect free graded readers would be ok for my purpose.
- NHK Web Easy or NHK
- I could try this after reading free graded readers.
- Free Graded Readers on the Internet
- Learning words and kanji from Anki or other spaced repetition softwares.
- I once tried building an Anki kanji deck, but I was overwhelmingly bored within a month. For the commonly used words, I think just mining words and kanji from reading materials would be ok. For esoteric rarely-used words and kanji characters, I could try putting them in Anki decks.
