What's the best way to learn Japanese? Has anyone tried Rosetta Stone, and does it work?

>>	Anonymous Sat, Jan 2, 2010 00:41:59 No.4042483 Rosetta Stone is shit. It will never work unless you are learning two languages from the same family.

An elementary textbook to get started (Genki I&II are good and cheap, in fact you can torrent them last I checked) make sure to follow proper stroke orders, and make sure you master this textbook and can read all the conversation bits smoothly and naturally.
From there:
Rikaichan
Jim Breen's dictionary
Exite translator
Windows IME pad
Futaba
2ch
media etc..
Everything you've been reading, watching, and playing up until now but raw, listen to lots and lots of it, some have recommended listening to speech (say, a news stream) while they sleep.
Try Skype for speech practice.

Prepare to read simple 4koma manga one panel at a time one voice bubble at a time while you look up every word/kanji you don't know, it's slow and excruciating, but through repetition, you do learn them.
If you have a DS, I recommend the 漢字そのまま楽引き辞典 dictionary rather than dumping a bunch of money on one of those fancy electronic dictionaries.
There are also functional iphone dictionaries which seem pretty handy but I haven't tried one.

>>	Anonymous Sat, Jan 2, 2010 01:40:59 No.4042841 >>4042700 It's kanji, and there's no way you'll become fluent in japanese without knowing a lot of them.
