I don't know how because I've been using this thing for months and didn't learn shit besides phrases,alittle bit of kanji and shit like that.

"My Japanese coach" cannot teach you anything by itself.

It's quite easy to play it without learning anything because of the methods used. If you don't know the vocabulary, instead of trying to learn it, you can easily just play the games until you get enough points.

Basically, it CAN teach you some stuff, but there's no guarantee. It's pretty much what you would expect from a commercial DS game that tries to teach you something, it doesn't directly cheat you for your money, but there are much more solid solutions out there.

I'm actually in the process of finding my own solid solution. Basically I'm gonna need a daily routine, and I'm thinking of something like this:
-30 words through flashcard software (Teach2000)
-10 kanji through ReadWrite Kanji
-Some review of whatever grammar would be relevant to review at the time
-Trying to fit in some reading of Japanese for entertainment in my free time

What do you guys think? My goal is to pass an exam in 4 months, that I believe is at a level between JLPT 3 and 2 (JLPT 2.5, if you will).

has anyone gotten the Rosetta Stone Japanese learning software?
also, what place did you get it at and was it a reliable torrent?

[Anonymous No.]

>>1984199
Rosetta Stone is shit. Don't use it.

[Anonymous No.]

It's a good supplement but really it's not like it will get you to fluency. Also from what i heard it teaches some stroke orders for kanji wrong.

Copied from /lang/

"How to start learning Japanese:
Method 1:
http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/about
Just do it. It's a bit hardcore but it will get you to fluency no doubt about it. But going against what he says learn the Kana first it helps alot. Kana= Hiragana/Katakana. You can take Hiragana/Katakana courses here: http://www.iknow.co.jp/courses

Method 2:
Grab a torrent of a Japanese textbook or actually buy the book. Work through the book. Now your done with the book congrats your at the level of a first year Japanese student. Now start reading Native materials and trying to figure out what you don't understand. Learn what you don't know. Now grab another book this time intermediate (might actually have to buy this) work through this and you should be pretty knowledgeable in Japanese. From then on its all just reading/writing/speaking practice get as much as you can. Also with this method use http://www.ichi2.net/anki/ a spaced retention flashcard program. Input vocabulary, grammar examples etc etc. What ever you want to learn. Go here to pick up some vocab or learn the hiragana/katakana: http://www.iknow.co.jp/courses
Its 100% free.
(I recommend Genki, and there are torrents for it. The intermediate level your going to actually have to buy)

What I'm doing right now:

1) I have a teacher, we use this book called "Japanese for busy people vol. 1", it's the kana edition. It's okay for grammar, but beyond that I don't give two fucking shits where スミスさん is going with ささきさん. I also do not care how they get there, whether it be by くるま、ひこき、しんかんせん or otherwise. It gets a bit annoying only using the kana when I know some words in Kanji, I might just switch and write what I know.

2) Despite my apathy towards Mr. Smith, then lessons are useful (like I said previously) for grammar. I've taken it upon my self to learn Kanji. I ordered two books that my teacher recommended, and I'm also doing my own method.

Step 1: Go to https://www.msu.edu/~lakejess/kanjigame.html
Step 2: Play the levels, and right down the Kanji as you go through them. Getting them right does not matter at this point.
Step 3: Google exactly this: 'Kanji "*insert word*"' usually the first link is an about.com page that has stroke order, and compound word examples. For example, 'Kanji "Sky"' brings up http://japanese.about.com/library/blkod17.htm
This is a good way to check if the Kanji game characters were correct, since some of them I wasn't too sure about...
Step 4: Write down the -kun reading since right now you're only concerned about the symbol itself, and not its use in compounds.
Step 5: Underneath that, write the English translation. In some cases there will be a few translations, write them all down. You should now have three rows, Kanji, Romaji, and English.

CONT NEXT POST.

*the lessons are useful. Damn made a mistake in a sentence about grammar...anyway.

If you want, you can actually play that Kanji game to see if they stuck to memory. I did this for my first time about 3 days ago, and got down about 40 Kanji (yeah not a lot...about lvl ~5), just from the mere act of writing them down I retained 90% of those symbols. I expect it will get harder, but writing them down is highly important! I don't know why, but this really seems to help me remember them. Also with Kanji, I've noticed instant gratification- some things that looked complex before I can now read, (花）for example, (Not sure why but I really like that character...same with 夢）but yeah. I don't have to sound out the kana and try to figure out what the word is.

Hope I helped.
