Congratulations on graduating from the Introduction to Japanese course. Now that you learned hiragana and some basic Japanese words, where do you go from here? Well, you have two options, either Katakana Enhanced (http://www.memrise.com/course/122395/katakana-enhanced/) or Learn Basic Japanese (http://www.memrise.com/course/80119/learn-basic-japanese/).

3. Studying vocabulary is a good start, but you'll
need grammar and listening practice to start using
the language.

4. So, you might want to take some
audio lessons.
JapanesePod 101 has a huge
library of Japanese lessons that
gets added to every week. You
might want to check out there
“Absolute Beginner” series.

5. Or you might want to pick up some
study books.
White Rabbit Press offers the
best deals for books sent from
Japan. They have a huge
selection. I suggest starting
with Nihongo Fun & Easy.

6. As for the next course to take,
you have two options.

7. Option 1 – is the 'Learn Basic
Japanese' Course
This course covers katakana,
which is a different writing
system that we didn't go over in
this course, as well as around
300 useful phrases to get you
started using Japanese.

8. Option 1 – is the 'Learn Basic
Japanese' Course
This course is designed with
the mobile app in mind so
some of the phrases might be
difficult to type within the time
limit, but it is well worth the
challenge.

9. Option 2 – is the 'Katakana
Enhanced' Course
This course also covers
katakana, but then goes on to
practice some common
katakana words that you might
commonly encounter.

below and you will be whisked away on
your new adventure.
