Two problems: pointers

[Pacifica1984]

Okay when it comes to Japanese. I realize I know a fair amount; but cant put it into play as no one here speaks it. I have taught myself everything I know so far. My two problems are getting word order right and I have a lack of vocab.

Anyone know any good ideas, books, tips or tricks to help me with my problem?

I'm going to guess you are over 18, thus allowing you to pay for a MSN account.

ever check out...

chat.msn.co.jp

That is the Japanese Chat Server for MSN. You need an account to get in it.

or perhaps have you checked out Yahoo Japan?

chat.yahoo.co.jp

Of course for Yahoo Japan you need an account for the Japanese server. You have to sign up at the Japanese server. (I may be mistaken about this)

Also, the American Yahoo servers are good place to try and practice your language skill.

Located in the regional section of the yahoo chat rooms, there is a Japan chat.
I go there often and find it best early in the morning.

I would suggest you look at some of the other threads in this forum section.
I made a thread linking to a megasite that offers much information.

Also, you don't have to be 18 for the yahoo chatrooms.
