Hahaha!


That probably isn't the most affective way to learn, but it could work.


^^


Yeah, I started by just learning a bunch of words like...I don't know, just sitting there memorizing the entire dictionary.

after that, I got a phrase book, and started memorizing phrases.

And finally I got a book that helped me put stuff together into words.


So like "Could I have some green tea please" is literally translated to something difficult, but I know the "could I have some____please" is kudasai. And green tea is "ocha" and "watashi" is I.


Then we take a looky loo at the book, and it says the order of words and particles and such and I know to say "Ocha o kudasai".

Green tea please.

Japanese in 30 days, thats the book I used.
