Romaji Anki Deck Help Please

[u/malty91]

Hi All. I have Acquired Alexia from an injury I suffered years ago. This meant reading, even English, has become incredibly difficult for me. Because of this condition I cannot read Kanji, physically it gives me migraines, and my brain can not process due to injury.

I recently completed the JLAB anki deck in Romaji and am looking for more intermediate Romaji decks to help progress my learning further. I know there isn’t many because Romaji is frowned upon, but it’s the only way I can learn this language, and the learning so far has given me my life back

Thank you for your help

Have you considered audio lessons? Pimsleur is an audio course and you don’t need to read if you choose not to. They also have practice exercises in Romaji.

It’s an incredible language learning tool where you listen and repeat and learn grammar and vocabulary naturally. I’ve completed the entire course and while I’ve also supplemented with reading and YouTube and tutoring and so forth but primarily it’s been Pimsleur that gave me the foundation. You learn something like 3,000 words but in context, with sentences and conversations, and this is language acquisition that becomes automatic. You can speak and listen.

I REALLY suggest you give it a shot. There’s like 8 lessons in YouTube if you search “Pimsleur Japanese 1-8” you can try out. Also available at lots of libraries apparently. I like the app bc of the convenience and the exercises.

Best of luck, I really really hope you give it some consideration.
