If you can afford it, then buy yourself a good grammar book and a dictionary to begin with. Always have it by your side as, at a spur of a moment, you may want to search a word or two and this will come in handy. If you cannot afford it, then internet is your next best choice. There are thousands of website dedicated to teaching basic lessons to beginners. All you have to do is to search for them. Believe me, they're not so hard to find. Even at Japanforum itself, there are plenty. So, don't wait for them to come to you or crudely speaking, to be spoon-fed (sorry for using that phrase), but go reach out to them yourself. They're free, and just as good as a physical book. Better still than a book, you can even ask questions on any doubt that you may have, just like a personal tutor of your own. Explore them and have fun. |

Don’t you have any Japanese text book? How do you study the pronunciations? |

Fear is 恐怖. Both怖い and 恐い are OK but they are not cool as a tattoo. 恐怖 must be cool on your skin. Gook luck! |

No I don't have any Japanese text books, I can't find any The pronunciations are hard but it says like how some of the words sound but as I said it's hard. |

Do you have anyone who will help you to set up? Quote:
Do you have any videos in Japanese? How about Evangelion? I recommend you to listen Japanese even if you don’t understand first. Quote:
My American friend came to Japan and he said something in Japanese but I didn’t understand him. I needed to ask him in English. He has been studying Japanese for about 4 years. If you love Evangelion, I recommend you to use the videos to study Japanese. |
If you really want to learn Japanese, I've found a wonderful site I'm using too. It's called thejapanesepage.com. I've finished all the hiragana lessons.
But a warning:you've gotta keep at it. Gambatte kudasai!! It'll be hard work. :) |

Youtube is a great place to learn pronunciation from native speakers. They use the GENKI textbooks, and are always willing to help out DEDICATED learners. In my opinion, learning on your own is next to impossible unless you are 100% dedicated because it is so easy to quit when you hit a wall, which happens several times. With no one to encourage you it is easy to quit. A class is the best way. |
I'll sell you my old Genki I textbook. I taught myself a year's worth of college Japanese classes with it (aced the tests it took the kids 2 semesters to learn). I have extracted all possible information and it's now propping up my PS3 so the heat vents aren't blocked :D
Protip: Learn Hiragana and Katakana first. You can do this in about a day or two. If someone tells you to learn survival phrases first, hit them with an open hand. |
