After downloading a japanese learning package, I have discovered several mp3's with 'lessons' on them included in the package. I had a quick listen, and it baiscially goes through simple words such as the seasons, numbers and baisic dialogue in japanese, and then repeated in english several times.

It's a long shot, but do you think if I were to sleep with this, it would some how improve my japanese? Haha, even if it helped me remember words when I'm trying to learn consciously! This may sound like im trying to learn japanese the 'easy' way, but im just curious 0_o.

Edit: And this is what the readme says -

Description: Have you ever wondered why some people seem to pick up new languages with relative easy, while for the rest of us, learning even the basics is a tough, uphill battle? In an effort to answer that question -- and overcome his own struggles with learning foreign languages -- psychologist Louis Aarons embarked on an intensive study of how the brain processes and stores foreign words and phrases. Based on his discoberies, he developed the revolutionary Subliminal System at the heart of Subliminal Japanese.

A terrific way to jump-start Japanese language learning -- and an ideal supplement to traditional learning methods -- Subliminal Japanese is an audio-based program that used the multitracking properties of stereophonic recording technology to engage both sides of your brain simultaneously while targeting your left brain hemisphere, which does most of the heavy lifting during language learning.
 
If you listen to them as you sleep, it certainly can't hurt anything. But I would make that an addition to an active study program, not a substitute for it.
 
No.
I think there is a method to subliminal learning. which means not just any form of audio will work. there must be something in the background which triggers audio recepters to continue to hear and absorb sound and data while you sleep.
Research shows that data literally has to be tweaked to speeds that are unrecognizable during non catatonic states IE. being awake compared to being asleep.
 
I think that yes, it could possibly work. By 'work' I mean help. I'm inclined to think that anything is worth a try as it can't do any harm!
Anyway, if it's playing before you go to sleep, I think that hearing the language spoken just in the background, even when you're not paying attention, helps your pronunciation in the long run.
 
IMHO That would only be the case if it was somewhat understandable.
I am pretty skeptical about anything that tries to cheat the natural flow of things. "Skipping hard work" But hey different strokes for different folks.
Never hurts to try something once.
