From absolute beginner basics (JLPT N5) to complete native proficiency (JLPT N1), Neko Sensei breaks down over 2,200 complex characters into a clear, rewarding, and addictive daily habit. WHY THIS METHOD SUCCEEDS WHERE TRADITIONAL STUDY FAILS: 1. SCIENTIFIC SPACED REPETITION SYSTEM (SRS) Stop wasting time reviewing characters you already know.
