I have the helen gilhooly tapes on my IPOD. also the michel thomas method which I find very helpful but as I get so little chance to practice its difficult really.

I have kanji cards and books etc and also comic books where I can learn individual words.

My friend records some sentences for me which is useful but she doesn't have time to let me practice speaking with her. I cannot really afford to go to evening classes although I did go for some calligraphy lessons.

Wonder what others think about Helen Gilhooly.

I think where I really floundered was in the numbers and the various ways of counting.
