want to learn japanese?

[Crani]

I have been trying to learn Japanese by own, like so many of you. I know simple stuff like counting to five, presentations, some Hiragana, Katakana, one Kanji and some lose words. I hope to learn more in the future.

We practise the countings rather often on the language lesson.my virtual classmate sometimes smarter,than I......

- ai [love], learned it kind of on accident), and some simple phrases. It kills me how much I could have known by now if I had tried learning three years ago... T_T Oh well, later's better than not at all, or whatever that expression is that slips my mind at the moment...

Anyways, I'm learning with my friend at school, but both of us are learning from the same website (japanese-online.com) and oftentimes I end up just teaching her what I've learned, so I'd love to learn with any of you if you want ^.^ and we can help each other more than my friend's helping me xD

See ya!

I postponed it for a long time.I planned that I set about studying the Japanese language sincere for a long time already.

Have you started now? I only started studying it sincerely about a month ago... and all of July I can't learn anything new, though I guess I can study what I already know (because I'll be on a trip to Israel all month and I won't have much free time at ALL T_T).

That's cool If I thought my parents could pay for it I would ask them to enroll me in a distance learning course, but it's already expensive enough for just my brother, since he does ALL his schooling through distance learning.

Oh well... I'm trying to get as far as I can on my own

This distance education worked for me.In this manner much easier to be learning,than before.the others, who study the Japanese language together with me, they help to study well.

I'm about learning Kana, but get lost in most cases, any help about those two

[yukochan]

i 've studied for about 3months in a japanese language school, i,ve learned the basics, katakana, hiragana, and kanji but i don' think its enough... i still need to learn more, oshiete kudasai...

[rakashael]

I've been studying japanese for about two years. I can write and read both katakana and hiragana. I am still working on kanji. There are some helpful sites that are free to use:

byki.com
japanesepod101.com
and
englishjapaneseonlinedictionary.com

I can help you out too, anytime you need help with katakana and hiragana I can teach you. The hardest part is word association; what I mean by that is looking at the characters and knowing what word it is in english.
I hope that helps, good luck.

Sincerely,
Rakashael
