Hello, I have VERY poor Japanese skills (I know Hiragana, Katakana and some basic grammar) not much vocabulary and I can only understand one or two Kanji.
I study Japanese at school, but I don't learn much there at the moment, as it is not an elective at the moment the class and teacher as a whole don't try as hard as they could. (It's an elective next year, so that should speed up my learning
) I know in the last year of my Japanese study I will be expected to know 200 kanji.
My question to you is:
How can I speed up my Japanese learning and get ahead of my class?
As I am only very young (15) I can't go to any Japanese learning classes outside of school and my family hates when I speak Japanese. My brothers especially.
(Not so much that they can't understand it, but they hate Japanese culture in general. =.=" It sucks for me...)
How would you recommend I learn Japanese for my own benefit without taking any additional classes (that I must pay for, or that are out of my reach) outside of school, by myself?
This is a very difficult situation . . .
Any help appreciated, thanks
