Your first Japanese sentence is enough

Your first Japanese sentence does not need to impress anyone. わたしは がくせいです. I am a student. Topic, particle, noun, polite "is."

Swap the noun. わたしは エンジニアです. わたしは アメリカじんです. Same skeleton. You've just learned how Japanese introduces you in public.

Don't add と, も, time words, and a second clause the same night. One skeleton. Repeat it until your mouth doesn't trip.

Practice this in five minutes, not another Anki deck.

Nori is a beginner Japanese app with tiny grammar quizzes and a waitlist before launch.

Apps sell "unit 1 complete." Your brain sells "I can say who I am." Trust the second metric.

When that line is easy, add and ask someone else: がくせいですか. Question. Same bones. Still one lesson.

TL;DR

Your first Japanese sentence can be わたしは がくせいです. Topic, は, noun, です. Swap the noun for your job. That's a complete lesson.
