Well, I'd like to help you, only I'm not a native speaker.
However, I can help you with the basics, if you want to. If you're interested, say it.

Dymaz · (#6 (**permalink**))

Hey, Thomas, is it? What is your first language? Sounds French to me.
Anyway, I know that there are threads already dedicated to help in learning Japanese, but if you want, I can put some information. (Does anybody of the admins or mods that are against the idea of doing what Thomas asked?)

If they say no, I won't overlook it, but then I'll help you too. Just PM me^^

Not really,

I mean, I've never studdy japanese of any kind.

Kasomi · (#9 (**permalink**))

Okay then, first, I will present myself while explaining^^
Konban wa! (It's evening here, and this is the salutation for evening)
Watashi wa Kasomi desu (Watashi = I, wa (particule of subject, to be explained later), Kasomi (well, my nickname), desu (this is what we call a copula, it means "am, are, or is")
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! (This is hard to explain, but it ask to people you don't know to be tolerant or to be kind with you, it's something you say each time you meet new people I think.)

So, basically, I said:

Good evening!
I'm Kasomi.
Please be kind with me... (poor translation)

I don't think anyone could say "don't do it", but I know that me, masaegu and LearningBetterJapanese will keep an eye on things. What happens when people who aren't fluent start teaching, sometimes things go in weird directions.

I would recommend that Dymaz and Yumi exlore some of the Japanese learning podcasts, online websites and other sources on the Internet and/or invest in a textbook.

This part of the forum isn't really designed to TEACH someone japanese, but more to HELP someone. You really can't teach well in this format (can't see or hear each other)

You can try this Learn Japanese with Japanesepod101.com
Hiragana Lessons - How to write hiragana

or look for others online, as well.

I think Kasomi (and others) here can be invaluble help, too.
