In July, I’m going camping for 10 days. Not usually a problem, but here’s the hitch: I can’t bring ANY electronics. So no Textfugu, no Anki, no Tae Kim’s guide… Nothing. However, I can bring standard flashcards and Textbooks, because those pass as non-electronics (duh).

So, are there any recommends for Textbooks and Flashcards? And where might I pick those up? Thanks!

If not, I would go to the library and print them because Japanese textbooks run pretty high and aren’t all that useful aside from providing another perspective on a particular grammar point, and if that’s all you’re going for there are plenty of places you can just download them online if you’re okay with being a criminal. Making your own flashcards with index cards, or something similar, though would be a great idea because it’s like quadruple learning. Of course, all the vocab and grammar you bring along with you.

Perhaps camping themed vocab! Hoho! I am such a genius.

I’ll definitely print out Tae Kims, and I’ll make flashcards of what I am studying. Thanks again!

Then when you have free time look up interesting grammar points and study the numerous example sentences for practice.
