Best way to learn Japanese?
I'm very determined to learn this language, seeing as I hope to live there when I'm older. Money isn't much of a factor as I will work hard to pay for whatever amount. I was thinking of taking the two high school Japanese lessons, or buying all three levels of Rosetta Stone. It isn't an option to just go there because I'm 15 :) Please help me! Btw, the lessons would be from BYU independent study. Or any recommendations? (:

Watching Japanese anime or any Japanese TV program is a good idea for improving your listening skills and also your vocabulary. These are two important elements in Learning Japanese. Keep a notebook and jot down any new words you hear. Then look them up and find out the meaning. The best way to learn Japanese is through a variety of methods. You need to work on your grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Its best to think of these as separate categories and focus on each specific category as these require different methods and techniques. Start by learning the basics through grammar. These books really helped me: • Shin Nihongo no Kiso I & II • Shin Nihongo no Kiso Japanese Kanji Workbook • A Course in Modern Japanese by The University of Nagoya Press • An Introduction to Modern Japanese by Osamu Mizutani & Nobuko Mizutani These books cover both polite Japanese, which is extremely important to learn in order to speak Japanese effectively and causal Japanese, which is great for everyday conversations. Websites are not always the best way to learn Japanese. Most websites are run by people with no teaching credentials and are not even native speakers of Japanese. Some of them are just interested in making money and not in helping you in what you need to be successful in learning Japanese. How to Learn Japanese http://japan-australia.blogspot.com/2010...

What is the quickest way to learn Japanese?
I found this extremely useful all those years ago when I started learning Japanese: The Dirty Guide to Japanese (used to be called the Quick and Dirty Guide; you can find a romanized version online too). It tells you most of the basic points of grammar, which are still fairly uniform. If you get a basic learner's dictionary to go with it, you can learn a lot of words and be able to make many kinds of simple sentences pretty quickly. I used this: Amazon.com: Kodansha's Romanized Japanese-English Dictionary (9784770027535): Timothy J. Vance: Books, which I liked because it had a grammar guide at the end for basic stuff not covered by the DGtJ, like how to count. Get a phrasebook too, or google some common phrases as well to learn some basic idiomatic phrases.If you want to learn to write, practice writing out sentences using hiragana and katakana, which is a good way to learn them. But you'll still probably have to learn them by rote. That took me about a week of intensive memorization. I used Henshall's kanji book (Amazon.com: A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters (9780804820387): Kenneth G. Henshall: Books) to learn kanji, which you would need to learn eventually, depending on how far you want to take this. It's organized by the way that Japanese students learn them, so you know when you've passed first grade level, second grade level, etc. It also has mnemonics, which may help you, although I never used them.Lastly, but probably most importantly, you need to really immerse yourself in as much Japanese as possible. For me then, it was anime, Japanese movies, and J-rock. Also, I was young and desperate enough to randomly look for Japanese people to practice my Japanese with online. At that time, there was ICQ and an app called Odigo. It's going to be embarrassing and people are going to make fun of you, but if you really want to learn, you just have to practice using it in real life. Through my random conversations, I was even able to meet a Japanese person who remains a good friend now, more than ten years later.Hope this is useful and good luck!
