Sorry, but I have moved your thread to the proper forum. "Serious discussions" is not meant for tranlation questions.

Good luck with your dilemma, though! I hope you find the help you need!

Is 全然 another way to say "It's Ok"? Is it the same as "kamaimasen"?
What does "でもやっとちょっと日本語覚えられて" mean?

just saying zenzen implies something like zenzen daijoubu, zenzen kamaimasen. The following word is just omitted.

yatto= finally, at least
oboerareru= to remember/internalize in the 'can form'

Its just a translation of what was asked above...

Ah I see. Thanks!

so "vb + rareru" = "can" or "to be able to"?

Basically, yes. The conjugations are a little bit more complicated though...

Hi! I have to recognise that it isn't easy at all to learn Japanese. What is the best way learning Japanese as a complete noob? I mean besides going to school ?
