Also, Kanji can be a pain at times. Whose idea was it to give lots of them multiple readings? ><;

Use the internet.
Ask someone who knows to get you started.
A combination of all three.
What I meant is that I could go find any old site that tells me how to speak Japanese and it could tell me a whole bunch of incorrect shit and I'd believe it because I wouldn't know any better and have nobody to tell me if I'm doing it wrongadam2046 wrote:
Just do some google searches, almost all of the information will be quite useful to you.
Show some initiative.
And read some books...seriously they're good for you.
I am currently learning right now, and you could use a game in DS called "My Japanese Coach" to learn it too. It's quite effective until now... xDMegaManEXE wrote:
I'd love to learn any of the eastern Asian languages, but I have no idea how to get started learning. I don't really think Rosetta Stone or anything like that is the best way to go but I don't have any classes offered at my college in any of those languages.

Sad thing is, many Americans do talk like they talk in the shows. :-/Daru wrote:
That said, I shudder to think of a conversation with a Japanese person who has learned about English and American culture entirely from episodes of Familiy Guy and Glee.

At least I don't say "Baka" to everybody or anybody, or commonly at all. That'll make me feel like a total weab00. I'll focus solely on Engrish thanks. And Thai.

listening some japanese music can improve your japanese language ..And I strongly disagree with this
ahahaha that's my method >_<;minyeob wrote:

Listening is damn hardlistening some japanese music can improve your japanese language ..And I strongly disagree with this
I have listened Japanese music for 3-4 years
But real Japanese is so much different from music >_<
And how fluent are you? I think listening to Japanese songs is a terrible way to learn the language as the syllables are generally stressed a lot differently than actual speech. Everyone who says they learn out of music either is already fluent to an extent, is talking out of their ass and likely doesn't understand a bit of the language, or is going to learn the language incorrectly.Hakeru Prismriver wrote:

It might be the way you say it. I'm apparently usually too formal when I talk in other languages, but that's probably because I don't know many informal ways of saying things and I can't tell what's going to be broken or not.Daru wrote:
I've spoken with some native speakers, and my Japanese is described as "Not much of an accent, grammatically correct, but weird sounding".
doing it by yourself and actually getting the same result from studying it properly at a decent course would take an incredible amount of self discipline and effortMy1 wrote:
nic3, I have to say, but I think that it makes rather fun learning it youself (like I do), coz you are not tied to times or teachers, and I like this way really
Well, it was pointed out that I used words in a weird way or something like that. Like, I would say, "I will wait inside the bus stop," rather than, "I'll wait at the bus stop," or something like, "I arrived at class" rather than, "I got to class,", because I didn't know the word "got". I'm sure what you're saying was a part of it, but I think the main thing wrong was my word choice rather than politeness.Pokebis wrote:

That being said, I may speak too formally in English as well, but I try not too.
