Smile Hi at all! ;D (Ähm...I need some help^^) - 04-04-2011, 05:30 PM

Hi at all!

I'm Nanashi - okay, I'm not Nanashi, that's only a Nickname
Okay, I want you to know something about me: I'm 13 years old,
like reading and want to learn Japanese - but I don't know how!
Can you help me? That would be fantastic!
I'm happy about everyone who posts an answer here

And I'm German, so my English isn't very good...
But I'll try to understand everything

NG, Nanashi

Check out the subforum for learning Japanese, search the internet, look for some books to learn Japanese, find people who speak Japanese, look if there is a learning course somewhere (maybe not for your age though) and so on... The same basic stuff as for every other language.

Thanks, Lien! I searched allready in the Internet, and everything I found was too expensive or you have to be 15 to go to one of the Japenese-Learning-Course...
I don't know which book I should buy, there are so many ones
I'm here to look for people who can speak Japanese or who are Japanese

I know, language courses are expensive everywhere :3
I might start one in september, but I don't have to pay anything because I get money from the government (difficult thing to explain).
Maybe these could get you started : JpPlaza.com - download. I printed one of them but I haven't started yet, but they are pretty good.

Wow, okay, thanks, Lien and protheus!
I'll look at these pages^^. Thanks!

The only problem is, that I'm German...but I found a page with a PDF-Document which starts to explain the first things...
Oh, I didn't mention: I also want to learn how to write Japanese^^.
I think, I'll start to learn something about the "Hiraganga"-Writing and in *counting* in 1 1/2 years I'll go to the Adult Education Center and take a Japanese course

Well I'm dutch :3
You seem to be able to write pretty good in English, so I thought learning from English to Japanese wouldn't be such a big problem and there are way more e-books and websites in English than in German (same with Dutch). I wish you luck <3

@Lien: Okay^^. Mhm...if you would know that I need a dictionairy
But I have to practise and the only way to be better in English and to learn Japanese is to practise, so I wrote some Japanese symbols (I hope "symbol" is the right word^^) at my writing pad and in school I was so bored that I took my pad and tried to write the symbols again^^
Ähm...Lien...can we be friends? That would be nice

Nanashi


Buuuh!! I'm German and not good in English and can't speak Japanese. I'm so clever to register myself here *head meets tabel*
okay, I did it because I want to know somebody in Japan...so is there anybody?
If there is somebody, please PN me!

That's the best way (well it is for me) to learn a new alpabet and symbols, just keep on writing them.
Oh ja natürlich! :P

Yes, I thought the same, it's the best way^^.
My problem is, that I knew how to write the words, but I can't speak them xD
I'm so stupid xD

Moment, du kannst Deutsch? xD
Okay, danke! Ich füge dich gleich zu den Freunden hinzu <3
