[Echo]

I know there must be a million just like me and every thread by a japanese person is quickly flooded...

However, if anyone who speaks japanese is left... hi there!

So, please reply here or pm if you are at all interested. Thank you.

Hello there.
I don't speak Japanese but I am trying to learn. It's one of those things that takes lots of practice. If you are just starting out like me I assume you know a few common words or phrases. Now start learning kana. There are a few ways to do it. Looking at the charts, using flash cards, or picking up a book. Try that and see what works for you.
Start with hiragana, then when you have that learned move to katakana. You need to look at and write them everyday otherwise you will forget them (something I really need to work on )
Hopefully others can add input on ways to learn. I am only a beginner and probably have missed key points.
Good luck on your studies.

I'm native Japanese speaker remembering the former Japanaese-Online Forum several years ago where several Japanese Volunteers kept making replies to the Japanese learner.

Because of some reason I left the forum and came back here. The forum seems to be changed totally and I also learned many things more.

One thing I recognized is that Japanese language brings "KI" or mind of respect. I mean Japanese Language is not only used to just tell a information but also used to keep or change the mutual human relationship.

It is the reason why Japanese to English translation is much harder than English to Japanese translation. And also it is the reason why Japanese language has high redundancy.

To make learning Japanese language easier, I think you should study about "KI" first.

Thank you.

Regards,

I personally love Nike soccer cleats this Blue/Black/Silver colourway. A shame it is only New nike soccer shoes going to appear on the Kanga-Lite Laser Nike mercurial soccer cleats…. that still isn’t much of an Best Football Boots issue though! Isaac is reserving Nike Mercurial Superfly his judgement on this colourway until we see it in action but I can tell that it will prove to be fairly popular with Mercurial Vapor Superfly Laser fanatics.
Killing two birds with one stone here! Or Nike Superfly would that be four birds? Hmm… Anyway; a Football Boots Sale simple White/Green colourway for the Nike Nike Football Cleats Tiempo Legend and an… unusual Black/White/Orange colourway for the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly CTR360. There is no doubting that the Cheap Football Boots Tiempo colourway will be a big hit, but the Mercurial Vapor Superfly 3 CTR360 colourway is certainly raising a few eyebrows.
The dual-density stud Nike Mercurial framework is very a distinctive element in the CTR's and therefore are intended Mercurial Vapor to raise ball trap control. To what magnitude they're utilised is questionable, but there's Adidas Adizero F50 no query the sole-plate configuration is typically a Adidas Soccer Cleats well-liked feature, when you very rarely see a participant within your CTR360's Nike Soccer Cleats possessing a customised sole-plate.
