Hey all ^.^ I'm Oz, and I'm new here ^.^ I've been trying to teach myself Japanese for the past 7 or so months, and I don't think it's going too well... I mean, I know a few words, and I can make some sentences and what not. However, the hardest thing I think is learning and/ or memorizing all the conjugating rules... Is there any simple way to memorize this stuff?? And how do you learn new words that you've never heard of? Like I can 'cat' I mean who can't? Neko. But what if I want to say a specific type of cat? Like... I dunno, a Siamese Cat?

I'm sorry, I just have so many questions about it learning the language... Can anyone help me?
