I studied Japanese at the university so I don't really know about self-learning, but sure thing is that's a language you can't learn phonetically, even though it sounds easy. For the english speaker I guess you are, It wouldn't be like learning Spanish, German, Italian or French. I'm posting here because you sound motivated. Japanese is sure a great language, funny and rich as hell. I wish you good luck.

Thanks, I am motivated, and like you said, I'm an English speaker. So any learning curves I may believe in, need to be bent in a different direction by those who know what they are talking about. Thus why I'm posting here. The Genki books like rec'd by Quark sound like a good start also, as I believe they cover the wording, kanji, and vocab all at about one time. Keios' should also come in handy. I don't know alot of people who have self taught. (Don't know a lot of people who even speak Japanese, not really a high subject around here I guess. Quite a shame) As far as language courses go, even if it might take longer, is self-teaching a lost cause? I'm sure the courses help, but I'm already attending college in S.F. and working full time, so obviously I don't have time to take courses in it. That's why I'm headed towards self teaching. Especially since I have about an hour and a half window using the public transit to and from school. Probably can spare another two or so hours a day dedicated to it. |

Here is another great extension that will work well in conjuction with Moji. Moji works with Kanji, but rikaichan works with Kana, as well and unlike Moji it automatically highlights words, so no guess work is needed.

Hi I need some help with japanese word/pronounciation

Learning Japanese
I thought this was pretty related to Anime since most anime is originally in Japanese. And comes from... Japan. Some from Korea. Haven't seen any from china. So eh my question is... How can I learn japanese? internet? Books? EH? EH?!

If you want to say "Hey, wake up!" 「ねぇ、起きて」"Ne^, okite"(for boys and girls, or wemen(shy men OK)) 「ねぇ、起きてよ」"Ne^, okite-yo"(same as above) 「おい、起きろ!」"Oi, okiro!"(for men or boys. It sounds so rough, intense, rude or impolite. If you want to say this, only for friends who are very close to you ) 「おい、起きろよ」"Oi, okiro-yo"(a little calmer than above) 「あのー、起きて下さい」"ano^, okite kudasai"(for all, so so polite) 「ちょっと!、起きて下さい」"chotto! okite kudasai"(same as above) |
