How Many Japanese Words Should You Learn a Day? Finding Your Number
For most learners, somewhere between 5 and 15 new Japanese words a day is a pace you can keep for months, with 10 a common starting point. The right number is the one you can still review comfortably a few weeks later, because reviews of old words grow much faster than the list of new ones.

A study buddy is a fellow learner you meet regularly to practise Japanese together. It works best with a fixed time, a simple routine (a quick check-in, a quiz, a roleplay, a plan for next week) and one rule: when neither of you is sure, you look it up instead of guessing.
