how I can continue ?...need help

Hime · 6 Nov 2008

Good day to you all

I am in learning progress at the current time,
what I have done so far is learning hiragana alphabet and start and some basics like numbers, days, months......
I am kind of lost, I dont know what to do next
I think I need to move to katakana next, but then what?
in terms of vocabulary and sentences, how I can start on learning them in a simple way?
any links or suggestions will be appreciated guys
thanks in advances

Hime,

You have done an excellent job learning hiragana first. Most people do not learn hiragana first, such a thing is a big mistake, and you have avoided this big mistake. Good for you.

You need to get started with an organized program, whether it is a textbook, an online learning program, etc. Do you have a textbook or online program you would like to go through? Or perhaps you have a school nearby that has Japanese classes?

By the way, hiragana is a syllabary, not an alphabet.

No I dont, thats why I need help in finding an online learning program, I only printed out some basics and study from them as a beginning.
So you know any good sites I can start with?

Oh really ? thanks for the info

I think a formal program is good for the beginner levels, as I really did not know where to go when I tried self-studying Japanese.

As for the intermediate level... I'm stuck there, so I can't say anything.

Most people who self study stick to something such as minna no nihongo or the shin nihongo no kiso ...
in my classes the lessons are ordered but they basically follow the JLPT requirements.

Hope that helps...

FOR YOUR EYES .....
as i told you try to study 5 words every day and try to now some grammar ,when you study any word try to put it in sentence .. e.g

水をのみます。(misu o nomimasu )when u study mizu(water) .. put it like sentence , coz that may you remeber it every time ...

and if you want i can give (kanji lessons) 漢字レスン ... coz kanji very important , maybe i'll give you one kannji every 3 days ...
and if you need any thing just tell me ....
