Is anyone willing to help me?
by Emileh » Sat Jun 30, 2012 4:55 am
Like, from square one. I know nothing but maybe a mere 25 words. I am scouring the internet for affordable lessons and find none that help me. o.o So I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Me when listening/watching AAA:
"I'm gonna go pretend to do work now."
"I'm gonna go pretend to do work now."

agreed. I recommend Polar Bear Cafe, if you want to learn more words.

Okay. I'll check it out, and I've been watching anime for 1 1/2 years, and I've tried raw. I thought the guys grandma died, but she murdered somebody. x.x So I kind of fail at that. Well, Polar Bear Cafe (whatever that is) here I come!

o_O You tried raw? Japanese language structure is different from English. It doesn't really work that way. The hosts are more very familiar with the Japanese language. Anyways, maybe try some intro books. Know your basics before you jump in.

Recommendations:
Learn Hiragana and Katakana right away, it should take you about a month to master them both if you're diligent. Whenever you study only read/write in hiragana and katakana from then on - aka, no Romaji
If you're going it on your own I'd say the simplest way is to start with the JLPT requirements, level 5 is the lowest. For example, level 5 requires 100 Kanji and 800 vocab words. It seems more daunting than it is... just think 1-10 are all separate kanji and words, then you have things like colors, and days of the week. All basic stuff. This is a great resource for that: http://www.tanos.co.uk/jlpt/jlpt5/
Find a buddy to speak and study with, either a native speaker or a significantly more advanced student. Languages are spoken, if you don't SPEAK it you can't LEARN it
And there's no point of speaking/studying it wrong.
