Well, you must consider that learning Japanese takes months to year. As if I can suggest you is try to write and speak hiragana and katakana characters first. Then try to write few simple kanji and it so called radicals. Dont forget kanji in japanese have onyomi (chinese reading) and kunyomi (japanese reading). At this rate you can try to watch you...... 1 reply

I REALLY want to learn Japanese, but I don't know where to start. And I tend to learn things best when I have some type of mentor/"teacher" to look up to. Sadly, though, I haven't been able to find anyone- at least anyone who is willing to go the full distance with me. If anyone knows where to start or is even just willing to help me out in general please... hit me up. (=・ω・=) If no one can do that then could you maybe just point me into the right direction so that I may teach myself? Thanks! (=・ω・=)

I wanted to attend Japanese Language classes but they cost a lot mor...... 1 reply

On speaking: If you're going to learn Japanese and Korean, learn the alphabet. Japanese always ends in a vowel, and Korean has those double letters like "ae" and "eu" (tha...... 1 reply
i felt the same, so 5 years ago i started learning Japanese and then went on to Korean, i still use subtitles for some things (Mostly Korean as i have only studies it for 3 years), but it does help especially as there are some things that cant be properly translated and you only really know the full meaning in Japanese/Korean. Sometimes it can be d...... 3 reply
I think that learning South Korea and Japanese would be fun And if I were to to learn Japanese or South Korea it would be better to watch a anime manga or a movie without any subs and I wouldn't wait for it either And I would understand what a song or TV show means And I don't think I am the only one having these problems
