Hi, I'm still learning Japanese
UPDATE: Probably not using this site anymore for tracking because I don't like affecting the rankings using the star system for difficulty. My language difficulty score will now be on my AniList's comments.
I really like this website but there's still a lot missing (no auto sync MAL sync type thing, clunky UI and slow website, score system is pretty bad) so if you want to see my actual ratings and more in-depth stuff check my anilist. The scores I give in this account are about how hard the Japanese was relative to my level at the time of completion. Also you can see in the 'reviews' my thoughts on the show and the difficulty of its Japanese.
Keep in mind I started sentence mining in 2024 so it's hard to judge before how hard vocab was.
Stars and their difficulty:
- 5 stars is out of my range, haven't yet experienced this. I imagine this is like 30% comprehension or so, so like watching youtube videos.
- 4 stars is a bit out of my range, usually a lot of new vocab and also some weird sentences where I sometimes even use the english subs to make sense. can still be very enjoyable.
- 3 stars is most engaging, like flow state. New words gallore but to a level I can still follow the story very well.
- 2 stars still has words to learn and maybe some new grammar but, in general, not much to mine and can follow the story with no issue. I try to watch this level without subtitles.
- 1 star is a level where there might be words I don't understand, but really, I could just enjoy the whole show without subtitles and without look-ups.
