Grade Learning System
Im in eight grade and learning Japanese; Help?
Im an 8th grader and trying to learn Japanese; Help?
Im a first year in Junior High; I'm tired of waiting for English translations of Manga to come out, so I think Im just going to learn the writing systems of Japanese.
I need books on Kanji and Fugirana.Are there any at Barnes and Nobles that I could buy?
I would like to take a Japanese Class, buit they don't have those until High School and I figure it'd be easier if I just started now. My cousin knows all this stuff, but shes in Montana, and Im in Oregon, and I only go there about 3 times a year. XPPP
I also need to learn Japanese, the launguage its self. Are there any books about that? If I need to, I have 100 bucks total from my Birthday Money, but I'd like to only spend 70$ on this...
I totally disagree with Belie. It's elitist, condescending and arrogant to assume that the only "good" options to studying a foreign language are the options "you" have chosen. Everyone might not have the same resources financial or otherwise to follow the path you chose. I hope she didn't pick that attitude up from one of your teachers because that's not what learning is all about. At least that's not what I teach my students. Learning is a process that can take place anywhere at anytime. Sometimes you have to make the best of what you have.
I think it depends on what your goals are and how serious you are about learning Japanese.
Obviously, the best way to learn any language is to go live in that country and live that language 24/7. You will learn more this way then you can learn through any other. Second best would be through formal study such as at some kind of school or with a private tutor, etc., etc. A professionally trained teacher can provide insights and structure that will designed to help achieve your goals in the shortest amount of time. And, even though not all teachers are equal in ability, they can probably help you in more ways than not.
But, such options are not available for everyone. Maybe it's a question of money; Or, maybe it's a question of desire. Not every can take formal classes or move off to live in Japan. So, it such cases you have to try and be a little more practical.
There's nothing wrong with trying to learn a language via software, games, the internet, or through friends as long as you are realistic with your expectations. You may not become fluent, but you might have fun and become motivated to move on to more formal study.
The most important thing is to find a way that you enjoy and stick with it. For some poeple, this means formal study. For others, this means anime. Realistically assess with your goals are and how much time and effort you want to expend. There's lots of OK websites out there that can provide you with an OK introduction to Japanese study. Try some of them and then decide how much further you want to take it.
Here's some sites that might help you get started. I would look at them before investing in any kind of software.
japanesepod101.com
japanese.about.com
If you search you find many, many more websites and podcasts that offer free stuff.
Good luck and try not to be discouraged by people like Belie.
