As the title says, I'm looking for a decently thick notebook. I'm starting N3 and want to keep all my notes for Vocab,Kanji and Grammar together. I'm looking for something at minimum 300 pages. Would be great tohave it dotted or grids but will sadly accept lined pages.
The problem is that I live in the inaka and the notebooks at Seria or zagzag go to maybe 100 pages and are a bit expensive and not good quality.
If anyone has any good note taking templates please send them my way as well.
I like midori grid notebooks.
There is a blank one that is extra thick and has your requested number of pages. It's not super cheap but it's not that crazy either for good paper. I'd go to a dollar store if you just want something cheap.
I'd say 200 pages is normalish for a notebook. Sketchbooks are sometimes more. Do you really think it will fill up that fast?
For N3 I think it will fill up pretty fast. I also like to add small review section at the front from previous N-levels.
Honestly, consider something like an A5 6-ring, there are some very nice affordable ones on amazon. Then you can have as many pages as you want as well as rearrange them as needed. I live by this method.
Thanks! I'll look them up.
I'm so tired of carrying around multiple notebooks.
Plus if you have a hole punch, you can make your own pages when you start to run out.
A structure that works for me is:
• 1 page for the grammar point + an example sentence
• underline new vocab and write the meaning below
• later turn that vocab into flashcards or Anki, keeps the notebook clean but keeps the words active.
Some people even use grid/dotted paper for the Japanese characters so the kanji and kana fit neatly, the lines make writing consistent and easier to read later.
That's why Iprefer the dotted and grid paper. Makes Learning a bit easier.
