C'mon BamaFan! Your like me, you know at least two languages already! I know English and Redneck!

Not willingly, haha. But those six are quite impressive!! At our school we have French 1-3 and Spanish 1 and 2 (maybe 2 or 3). I wish we had Japanese sooo bad!!!

Japanese seems to be pretty rare as a language that is open in schools or lower level colleges sadly. I had to wait till I got to a full university before I could continue beyond the lowest levels.

Keep on studying guys. I'm impressed by Bama so far, he looks like he is still chugging along just fine and hasn't given up. Nice job, don't stop because if you keep it up you'll eventually be near fluent in 5 or so years if you work hard enough.

Stupid schools in the south. I wish our schools were like that. Good to here you're well on your way to becoming a polyglot.

spellekubus, Try this website for starters: The Kanji SITE - A guide for students of Japanese Kanji . It will get you on your way. The trick is to try to teach yourself something new every day and dont give up or become lazy
p.s. If you have access to a Palm Pilot your could go here : http://www.gakusoft.com/kanji_palm.htm
This great little program turns your palm device into a gigantic collection of flash cards to help you learn....Good Luck

I started a year and a half ago...

Learning japanese is a fun thing to do, though after a while it can make you feel crosseyed. When i started, my college's japanese program just switched to a new series of books, called Genki, their site is www.genki-online.com and it's worth checking out. there's flash cards online for you to practice the three alphabets, hiragana, katakana, and the first two books (i'm not sure if there's more on the way) worth of kanji. It follows the story of a girl going to study abroad, which is a little entertaining... and it also has CDs you can purchase with it, so you can make sure you're pronouncing and hearing things the way you should.

If you're really interested, here's the ISBN numbers for both books :
Genki: An Integrated Course In Elementary Japanese (I)
ISBN4-7890-0963-7

Genki: An Integrated Course In Elementary Japanese (II)
ISBN4-7890-0982-3

Great books, definitely check them out!

If you can spend a little bit of money ($10.17), THIS is exactly what you need. It's how I learned the Kana. Somewhere there's a version of this book that has both the Hiragana and the Katakana book together in one volume, but I can't find that on Amazon...

I found the combined version at my local Border's today. Its about $15. Looks good. Thanks for the tip
