Help with Learning Japanese? -
01-25-2012, 05:54 PM
For years, I have been interested in learning Japanese as a side project. Currently, I am a Graphic Design student, but I have a lot of free time on my hands and I would love to use that time to learn a new language. Unfortunately, after beginning my research a few months ago, I quickly became frustrated.
At the beginning of my endeavors, I purchased Human Japanese as an introductory course in Japanese. I was pleasantly surprised. However, it was fairly obvious that Human Japanese would not bring me anywhere near being fluent in the language, but I knew this from the start. I was okay with that. With that in mind, I was willing to make a major purchase of another program to learn more. After reading page after after of reviews of programs such as Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, JapanesePod101, etc., the frustration began. I read mostly about Pimsleur. I was told by countless sources that Pimsleur was the most effective way to learn a new language. However, just before making the purchase of the Pimsleur program, I ran into a number of reviews that said otherwise. I was informed that while Pimsleur teaches Japanese, it simply is not enough to hold a long "normal" conversation in Japanese and that it's only "polite" Japanese. Is this true? I was under the impression that a major purchase would at least give me the ability to watch a Japanese sitcom and understand most of what I hear (while filling in the blanks with a Japanese dictionary). However, with every program that I do research on, I am always told "It's just not good enough." I would really like to find out what is good enough. As I said before, I am willing to make a major purchase. However, I don't want to waste the money on something that is not going to get me very far. So, to put my question in a nutshell... What would be the best purchase that I could make that would take me as far as possible and give me the ability to listen to a normal everyday Japanese conversation (not just polite) and understand most of what I hear (again using a Japanese dictionary to fill in the blanks for vocabulary)? Thank you very much!

As you have witnessed above, this is a dead website. We have all moved to a new spam-free site:
Japanologic Forums • Portal I suggest you make the move as well. Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.

You've probably noticed that this site is just filled with spam . . .
I'm assuming that no one's replied to this properly, or if they have it's been lost in the spam, but you should go to Japanologic Forums • Portal - all the members who were once on here that could help you have moved to the new site. There's no spam over there, too!

Hi Tiger21,
I think online schools are a worth taking a look at before you purchase expensive learning tools. One of the best, and one that offers reasonably priced group lessons is JOI Give their 3 Trial Lessons a go and see what you think before spending lots of money. JOI - Learn Japanese Online

Hey, repeating the same comment is probably regarded as "spams".
Can you do it more smarter, if you're human beings? Or you might be an alien, aren't you? Or you might be a devil? Or you might be merely a machine, right?
