You are not Japanese.

Its something called immersion and I kind of got used to it in America.
Immersion actually requires, you know.. being in Japan.

Quote:
Did you have a book in your childhood called " Learn English in 3 steps? " No you had an english class with an english book only about english.
First language acquisition in the formative years (i.e. as a young child) and learning a second language as an adult are two entirely different things. And I can guarantee you 99.9% of every Japanese person in Japan who learns English learns it through a Japanese textbook that has both Japanese and English content in it.

I don't know if its an issue of pride, or if its an issue of just 'wanting to have Japanese stuff', but if you're actually sincere about learning Japanese, you'll find a class, tutor, textbook, or something. Materials like magazines and newspapers can be used as a supplement to your learning - but you'll never learn a thing with them all by themselves.
