Although i had some knowledge prior starting to learn using this site, i started with the Absolute Beginner Season 1.
My course so far is this:
Absolute Beginner Season 1 -> Absoute Beginner Season 2 -> Newbie Season 2
Parallel to those courses i also did:
- Ultimate Japanese Pronunciation Guide (very helpful, very good)
- Basic Japanese(Video Lesson)
- Learn Japanese Grammar Video - Absolute Beginner (summarizes and reviews grammar learned in Absolute Beginner and Newbie Seasons)
- Kanji Videos with Hiroko (really good, wish there would be more
)
I would really recommend this to everyone newly starting out, cause it gives you a nice learning pace and you can fully focus on grammar in the Newbie Seaons (cause you have most of the vocab covered in the Absolute Beginner Series).
If you are at Beginner Season 3 or Newbie Season 3 the Absolute Beginner Seasons may be a bit easy for you. The Absolute Beginner Series do focus on basic sentence patterns like A は B です, usage of particles が は を and saying that smth is smth or is not ありませｎ ect.
It mainly provides a fast access to basic japanese language skills and gives you a nice amount of vocubalary (and kanji if you bother learning them).
The story is nice, the hosts are good and there are some really fun moments. I guess i would recommend the Absolute Beginner Series for you if you would like to refresh basic skills in a "laid back" fun environment.
As i said lessons arent to hard and compared to the Newbie Series theres a bit less content covered per lesson(no deep grammar explanations ect)
I definitely wouldnt see it as wasted time going through them
FInally i have to say that i really like/d all of the courses i did so far.
The PDF's and the other tools are really helping.
Good Job everyone!
