Practise using grammar with your classmates in live group classes, get grammatical support from a personal tutor in one-to-one lessons or practise grammar by yourself at your own pace with a self-study course.
Hello everyone! I just got started on learning Japanese about a week ago. I'm currently using WaniKani for Kanji and vocab, and I'm using Wasabi's Japanese Grammar Reference for the grammar. I was also using Tae Kim for a bit, but I switched to wasabi because they explain things a lot better imo. Anyways, I'm learning the grammar concepts well, but how can I practice the grammar which I learn? Reading It and making notes on it is simply not enough for me.

I have a simple Anki card type for grammar points - on the front of the card I write myself a mini-quiz on the elements of the point (sometimes with an example sentence or two, and on the back I summarize in my own words, and give the example sentence translation.
I heard about renshuu the other day. How is it? It seemed more like a vocab drilling site like memrise or WK than grammar from what I can tell. Does it have enough grammar practice exercises? Is it paid or free?

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth Onstwedder and I'm filling in for Dr. Cindy Blanco today. A little about me: I'm a curriculum designer here at Duolingo and I work on our features that teach grammar. One thing I love about my job is that I get to work on several courses, including our French and Spanish courses for English speakers, and our English courses for Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese speakers. It's a lot of fun thinking about all of these different languages and their grammar!
Great question! Learning the grammar of a new language can feel overwhelming at times, because there are so many different grammar concepts to try to remember at once. But I have some good news for you! Not all grammar rules are equally important for communicating.
First, practice is most effective when it targets something you haven't fully mastered yet. For example, choose just a few verbs from a single verb group to practice the ending patterns.
Duolingo lessons are designed to focus on one grammar topic, like Spanish present tense -ar verbs, and to give you lots of examples of part of the pattern (maybe just two of the many forms), so if you're practicing on Duolingo, we've already taken care of this for you!
Third, make sure you're getting feedback on that active practice. For example, if you're practicing in Duolingo, we'll tell you if you answered each exercise correctly as soon as you finish it. An important part of learning is making mistakes, noticing where you weren't quite right (that's where the feedback comes in!), and trying again. The next time you practice that topic, you'll get a bit closer, and eventually, it'll be easy!
Fourth, practice concepts separately first, and together second. When you're using language in the real world, you'll have to use lots of grammar in every sentence! When you first start learning new grammar concepts, make your practice more focused and specific (like I mentioned earlier). Once you start getting more comfortable with some of the grammar concepts you're learning, you can start practicing them together, which is more similar to how you'll eventually use them. For example, you could practice two different verb groups separately, and then practice them together!
Last, practice things slowly first, and get faster later. For example, you could start with some slower reading or writing grammar practice, and build up to some faster listening or speaking practice.
And also remember that grammar is about patterns and rules, and once you pick up on the pattern, you can use it again and again. Your effort will be worth it when you realize how many things you can say! Suppose that you're learning the set of 6 verb endings for the future in French - once you know them, you can use them on all verbs to talk about the future! (Okay, it's true that some of those verbs have a slight change in the future in the middle of the word, even though the endings are the same. We'll talk about irregular forms soon!)
Duolingo helps you master grammar in a few different ways. First, all our lessons are designed to focus on one grammar topic, and to give you lots of examples of part of the pattern (maybe just two of the many forms). In some Duolingo courses, you can also find specific lessons focusing on particular topics. They help you get plenty of targeted practice with the whole pattern!
Sometimes you'll encounter grammar concepts in the language you're learning that don't exist in your first language. If you're an English speaker encountering for the first time measure words in Chinese, cases in Russian, particles in Japanese, or gender in a wide variety of languages, you might be a little confused at first!
Also, irregular forms is a case where getting lots of exposure to the language helps these stick in your mind. In Duolingo, try to identify examples of the forms you're studying in your other practice: Did you hear it in a Duolingo Podcast or audio lessons? Did someone use an irregular form in your latest Story? Outside of Duolingo, you can do the same while watching TV in the language you're learning (seriously, watching TV can help you learn sometimes!), reading a news article, and listening to music.
These suggestions are just a starting point. As with many things, the best type of grammar practice is one that you're going to do regularly! So try out different options in and out of Duolingo to find something that you enjoy and that works with your particular language learning situation. And keep in mind that at the end of the day, grammar is about communicating in a language, and you can still communicate even if you don't know every grammar rule perfectly yet!
