Rei Japanese is back, and it's a completely different place 🎉
Hey everyone 👋 The community is fully rebuilt, and the complete Zero→N1 journey is now live inside it. We went quiet for a few months to rebuild this into what it should have been from the start, instead of half-finished courses and empty "coming soon" folders. That part's done. Here's what's waiting for you now: 🧭 Start Here: take the 3-minute placement test. Most people land a level lower than they expect, and it maps your exact path to N1. You can also watch lesson 1 of any level free. 🌱 N5 → 🗻 N1: real lessons built around real situations. A konbini run, an office phone call, your first news headline. Situation first, JLPT structure underneath. 📦 The Vault: pass-plans, Anki decks, core-word lists and grammar maps for every level. The whole exam machine in one place. 🎤 Live Q&A every Wednesday, plus daily challenges to keep the momentum going. If you've been meaning to actually get somewhere with Japanese, this is the moment to jump back in. Start with the placement test, then drop a comment with the level you landed on 👇
大輔 — how would you read it?
Two people can write the exact same name in kanji and read it two completely different ways, and neither is wrong. 大輔 can be だいすけ or たいすけ. Only the person themselves can tell you which one is theirs. Drop your guess below, then check today's video for the real answer (plus two more names that trip people up). Ever gotten someone's name wrong just from the kanji? Tell us https://youtu.be/bwoy4JZE9HYbelow.

お盆 empties the whole country this week. Anyone else planning around it?
Today's video covers お盆: おぼん, きせい (the trip home), むかえび, and ぼんおどり. Wherever you're studying from, is anything shutting down around you this week too? Curious how far this reaches outside Japan. Full video is up on the channel: youtu.be/PGRuVUVo3Gw
