micke 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 If I´m coming to Japan this winter, I guess I need to learn some japanese first. http://www.japanesepod101.com/ What do you think of this concept? I´ve browsed the page a bit, and it looks pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites

micke 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Since basically everyone on this forum has had to learn japanese, surely someone has an opinion? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 They are free, so give them a go. I wouldn't bother wasting too much energy on learning kanji though. Just learn loads of vocab and the absolute basic grammatical methods. Japanese is a bit like Lego building blocks that you fit together. Get a few blocks and you can play around with them. I cant speak Japanese very well at all and most gaijins love disliking me for it, so don't take my advice for much. A good vocab method is this seemingly gimmicky product. It actually works really well for Italian and German but I have never used in for Japanese. If you do buy it and it contains lots of katakana words (modified English words) then you have been ripped off. My girl and I very quickly learnt loads of Italian words using it. Some people think this memory method is very uncool and wont use it. http://www.linkwordlanguages.com/japanese.htm Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I tried tapes once when I was trying to learn German and didn't like it. I prefer books and people that you can interact with. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Singing some songs of the language works! Because you are to sing the same phrase over and over. Don't worry about understanding the meanings there. You just need to used the sound and the way to connect other sounds. I am not sure how Norweigian sounds like but that's how I have improved my English pronounciation. I also tried to listen to English tapes when i was a student, but it was not fun. I prefered to speak with people, but in my school days, no native English speaking teachers available Anyway, good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
