Well, I started out using a 'Teach Yourself Japanese' CD and book - that lasted about two weeks, then I realised I needed MORE, so I enrolled at the local technical college for night schooling in Japanese
I got my NCFE certificate, realised I needed MORE, so I enrolled for a one-year night school course in further Japanese I got my GCSE certificate, realised I needed MORE, but found out that the college wasn't offering A-level courses in Japanese So I advertised locally for a language swap buddy - that was pretty fun for two years, but now Mayumi has returned to Japan and I'm back doing self-study while I look for a new language swap buddy... The important thing is to PRACTISE - if you don't use it, you lose it! |

I'm studying Japanese and although it's romaji.. I think it's good practice... for him and for me. How about next time you just ignore it. |

For anyone who is self-studying... all I can wish is good luck!
I've tried and I am the type of person that needs a class structure with me messing up and embarrassment to continue learning and reinforce the topics I've learned. Hopefully next year, I can enroll in a university, spend a lot of money I don't have, and be just a small step closer to having a decent grasp of the Japanese language. Then from there... who knows. How can one, without a lot of working experience, find a job in Japan that caters to English and Japanese? I give people a lot of respect who can go from one foreign country to the next and find jobs... even make a living without being fluent in the language. |
