Hi /jp/

I don't usually post on this board but I have developed an interest in learning some Japanese (not going to lie, it's to play import video games that don't have translations).

My interest is mainly in just being able to read kana and kanji, I'm not really very concerned with being able to speak it.

What is the best option for me?

Right now I'm considering Rosetta Stone for it, is there a better/faster/easier way to get what I want? I've never learned a foreign language before, but I did receive a LITTLE Japanese instruction in Elementary school (almost 20 years ago). I can recognize some hiragana already.

Picture related I guess..

Install AGTH and Atlas directly into your brain.

Make sure you know how to use memory addressing correctly with AGTH.

>> No.5363682

Rosetta Stone is garbage. Here's some tips for posting on our humble board: do not post a distasteful image, do not say that you are new, know the real usage of 'sage,' and do not ask how to learn Japanese which you should ask >>>/int/ instead.

Not copypasta though that is what /int/ thought

Anyway can you guys at least direct me to a better board to ask this question if you're all going to be unhelpful? It's not like I'm going out of my way to be an annoyance.

We understand that. Why don't you go look on Yahoo!Answers or a more helpful website. All we ask for, on this humble board /jp/, is that you lurk a little longer and find out how this board works before you post.

If you don't already know an East Asian language, or if you are over 12 years old, it will be impossible for you to learn Japanese. Sorry.

I'm asking here because it's, well, a board dedicated to Japan on an imageboard heavily influenced by Japanese culture, so I would assume at least one of the many posters here is a foreigner who has some understanding of Japanese and could clue me in on where to begin.

I'm not lurking this board because I have no interest in Otaku stuff and I don't plan to post here any more after I get directed to a good resource for learning the (mainly written) Japanese language.

An Otaku is defined as someone who is obsessed with manga and anime. I'd call that Japanese culture.
