• Mistake #1: Relying on Romaji. A dictionary that writes everything in Romaji (English letters) is hurting you. Force yourself to read the Hiragana readings. This reinforces your Kana skills.
• Mistake #2: Only reading the English meaning. Kanji are not 1-to-1 with English. The Kanji 勉強 (study) literally means "to make an effort." Knowing the nuance changes how you speak.
• Mistake #3: Ignoring the "On" vs. "Kun" readings. N5 learners often panic about which reading to use. Your dictionary should list Kun (Japanese native reading) and On (Chinese derived reading) separately. For example: 水 (Mizu - Kun, Sui - On). Learn the Kun for single characters; learn the On for compounds.
