Any pointers for a total noob to the japanese language? |
Hi Sharkbait! Well, I may be biased, but I think that learning Japanese really isn't as difficult as everyone thinks--- most people just have a mental block. For example, I've never given my parents or siblings any kind of formal lessons, I just speak Japanese to them from time to time and then tell them what I said, and over the years they've picked up enough to speak in full sentences. (I'm already fantasizing about my children speaking English, Japanese, and Mandarin, lol!) If you're trying to pick up Japanese from scratch on your own though, my advice is to get a good textbook that comes with a CD so you can hear the pronunciation, and then find someone, ANYONE, who can practice with you, correct your grammar and pronunciation, etc. (I'd be happy to help you with that, if you like.^-^) Even though I've been speaking Japanese for years now, I find speaking it with someone is absolutely critical so I can maintain what I have. I have a Japanese friend right now with whom I practice, and I actually went so far as to accost her in the grocery store and ask her if she'd practice Japanese with me, lol! |

I'm doing the free BBC course learning Italian.
They also do Chinese, check out...

If it's anything like the Italian course, it's fun, easy to follow and an interesting way to learn.
Good luck |
