I did some basic Japanese during uni. The very formal way of speaking, btw. It was fun, but Asian languages wasnt my forte (I'm much better with European languages). I actually failed because my vocab was horrible, but still, a fun and memorable experience.
As for Chinese, my parents never bothered teaching me much depsite having Chinese blood. Th...... reply

My major in uni is BA Japanese, starting in Sept. In the meantime I am learning Korean and in uni I want to learn Mandarin :) Korean is easy to learn for me as Korean's and Japanese's grammar is exactly same as my native tongue, Turkish. I also have experience learning languages by self-study (I learned English and French by self-studying) So hopef...... 3 reply
I learned Japanese through Anime so whenever I hear simple words in Japanese, I understand them except long sentences.
I only know a little Korean words because I have Korean classmates plus facebook friends that are fans of Korean Idols like BTS or EXO.

I learned some Japanese on my own and later on in university. What I learned on my own were things like hiragana, katakana, some basic kanji, and simple grammar. I think with online resources, you can pick the basics up easily. However, I feel like classes are what help you practice your speaking more, plus it's good to have a teacher who is able t...... reply
I'm still learning haragana, so I can read many word without knowing the meaning.
I'm learning Chinese too and the raws of 19 Days has helped me A LOT. It's really interesting when you understand something of these manhuas.
I really like KPOP and manhwas but I don't know anything in Konean but oppa, noona, yung, anyo... reply
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

Hmm, it really depends on how you learn. I'm not a language teacher, but having learned some languages myself, I could try to give you a few pointers.
First, there are a lot of online resources that have courses dedicated to teaching various things. So, if you like to receive formal instruction, then I would suggest doing a search for some of tho...... 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・=)
