So I'm taking Japanese as a Foreign Language next year... - 06-29-2007, 10:41 PM

But, go figure, Rossetta Stone is about the WORST program in the world.
How are people supposed to learn when you compare words with pictures instead of actual translations?
Anyway, I need someone to help me with the language.
And note: I'm being homeschooled, just so you know. ^^;;

Autumn wind of eve,
blow away the clouds that mass
over the moon's pure light
and the mists that cloud our mind,
do thou sweep away as well.
Now we disappear,
well, what must we think of it?
From the sky we came.
Now we may go back again.
That's at least one point of view.

Words to pictures isn't such a bad thing. Thers a thread here that has links to other sites for learning Japanese. I could help you with very simple things only.

I have a hard time associating the two.

I'll be sure to look at them.

I was learning the normal way of words and translations but I try to remember things based on seeing them instead of just translations.

I could never do that. I've tried and it seems so hard.
Abut.com seems like the best for me.
If I can manage to keep away from the folktales!

I use Rossetta Stone to help with vocab and help fix any sentence structure mistakes that I may be making.
You should use it, just not by itself. Study from books, then go back and use RS. You'll find it getting easier and easier.

Rossetta Stone can't teach you sentence structure alone, you need to already have a good idea of it or all the extra words will get you lost. ^_^


-When in doubt BLOW STUFF UP!!
-Everyone should love three things: computers, cars, and Japan!
-Dude, you just hit me with a cookie!
-English sucks cuzz I already know it.
-Do you think I would have said it in front of you if I thought you would get it?
-I hate when people tell me I have common sense, it's degrading.

Wicked Styles quotes (thats right, this is stuff that I said)
