 Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 8:16 am Post subject: Best Way To Learn Japanese? |
  |
|
Hi Everyone
I want to learn to speak Japanese, so how is the best way to do it ?
Also i would like to learn more about swords, as i thinking on plan a trip to Japan and meet a swordmaster or something like that, to learn about swords and the Japanese rules about them and other things.
And third, i would like to know what the signs on the picture means, i have been told the mean "Rising Brother" like the sun, but is there someone that would translate it for me please ?
Many thanks in advance

Uh....that's "rice", not "rise" 
So more like "rice brothers"
^_^;;;;
kome = rice = 米
Besides the obvious homophone problem, I guess the kanji bears a passing resemblence to "kuru" = to come = 来る that might have added to the confusion.... But if anybody know something else, please feel free to interject....
As for learning...there are many ways...and I think there may be a topic for it....
Good luck! |

As I can't stress far more than enough, I suggest you take classes to learn the language.
If you don't mind moving away from home for a couple of years, perhaps going to Japan on a student visa would be the best recommendation.
Anyhow, anyway you choose to learn the language, (as with all other languages) you must apply yourself and practice when you have the chance.

Good luck on that. I believe swordmasters are a "dying breed" there. So it maybe very hard to find one.

that is WAYYY funny, rice-brother!  but yeah, like aho says. good luck finding a "hatori hanzo" (name of a ficticious swordmaster) when you arrive in narita.
kind of remind me of when i first came to the U.S. i thought EVERYBODY fricking rode a horse and smoke marlboro's....

You know, it just occurred to me that maybe the reading for this could also mean "American brother", since 米 is also used in reference to the US....
Meh.... |

If taking classes is out of the options... eg my case: There isn't any places that teach japanese... not even the university. There aren't any private tutors either.
I don't have the money to move town and live else where. Whats the nest best thing I can do to learn japanese... are any of the audio tapes or video's good? if so what ones ?
The writing of japanese is simple enough to learn on your own mainly just remembering the symbols. I need to have a good source on learning how grammer is used, and how word structures go together.
ありがとございます |

haha a trip to finding a swordmaster eh...I can picture you going to japan and upon arriving you find a suspicious looking man in an alley that by chance knows a location of a swordsmaster, which leads you to hundreds of temples, miles of forests and hours of mountain climbing until you arrive at a small hut in the middle of nowhere in the country side upon which as soon as you reach the door there will be a sign that says "no longer in business" |

| lol setfree that was a long descriptive tale of someone guy getting SUCKERED/OWNED...i agree with the pimsleur people (lol prolly cuz i used em and liked em XD) but pimsleur as i always say is not enough, sure its' a good start and you learn a good bit but of course nothing beats actual classes and practice with native or at least fluent speakers |

|

well i'm chinese and i can read some kanji,
but i'm not sure where to start learning
should i learn the 50 sounds first?
i want to learn japanese correctly,
but i want to be able to learn the "new" japanese
so i can communicate with people in japan
and also i'm learning it on my own?? is that good??
i guess the only way to do that overseas is to watch japanese dramas?
i'm confused  |

Personally I would start with hiragana and katakana. Watching jdramas with subtitles is also good, I learned a lot from just watching You can also check out japanesepod101.com. They have free podcasts that you can listen to
Good luck! |

Well, you're in the wrong forum for French, unless there's a kind French-speaking member willing to teach you.
Best way to learn Japanese would be real, formal lessons with a proper teacher, preferably with face-to-face language practice with someone who is fluent in the language. But that's not always possible, I know.
