What do you find easiest in Japanese: reading, listening, writing, or speaking?
For me, it would be reading.
I find reading the easiest because it is so fun, engaging, and rewarding.
When I read Japanese, I can go at my own pace. If I don't know a word, I can look it up. If I don't understand a sentence, I can read it again.
I also love the feeling of seeing something that once looked impossible and realising:
"Hey, I can actually understand this!"
Whether it's a manga, a sign, a menu, or a short story, every sentence feels like progress.

๐ก My Tip: Try Tadoku
One thing I'd recommend to every learner is ๅค่ชญ๏ผใใฉใ / tadoku๏ผ, which means extensive reading.
The idea is simple:
๐ Read lots of easy Japanese.
Don't stop to look up every word. Don't worry about understanding 100%.
Just keep reading and enjoying the language.
The amazing thing about tadoku is that it helps improve:
โ
Reading
โ
Vocabulary
โ
Grammar recognition
โ
Listening (because you recognise more words)
โ
Speaking (because you see natural Japanese again and again)
It's one of the most enjoyable ways to improve your Japanese.
