jouralto said:Hello. I have just joined this forum, and was wondering if I could get any help on beginning to learn the Japanese language. I appreciate any and all help!
yorkii said:my tip is to get your hands on a good textbook from the get go. I used the "Japanese for Busy People" series. there are also lots of resources on the web. my favourite place to study is here and on the animelyrics.com forum...
jouralto said:and those are a little bit overpriced for me at the time....
jouralto said:Well, you see, I don't really just want you to simply translate (although there are some things I'd like to know...) I want to actually LEARN the language!
Erik said:I agree with you when you say that it will cost time and money but the original poster wasn't very clear about how committed he or she was. Most people who say that they would like to learn usually just want to get their feet wet before making a big splash. I figured web resources are best to start with. I think books are a good way to go also. My replies were not meant to be shooting down the replies of others. If you felt that way, sorry for any misunderstanding. All the advice given so far can be of use!
jouralto said:The only problem I might be having with getting textbooks/workbooks is the fact that I don't get any cash! EVER! My mom gives me, like, $5 for lunch for a week, so I guess if I saved that and starved at school, I could affrod one pretty soon.....
If you haven't checked your local library lately, a school or nearby public one, they will probably either have or be able to order enough to get you started. From that point, just stick around here long enough with a high enough interest level and someone will give in and send one out free of charge I'm sure....jouralto said:The only problem I might be having with getting textbooks/workbooks is the fact that I don't get any cash!
