A great way to learn japanese?!?!? (i've tried rosetta stone and i dont like it)?

Question

I'm great at memorizing vocabulary. What I didn't like about Rosetta Stone was that there was no memorizing involved. I thought that would work, but I do better with workbooks and lessons.

would you recommend any books, computer programs, on-line classes, ANYTHING?

Answer 1

Find a class.

If you're too young to take a college class then wait.

If your parents won't get a tutor then wait.

You are never going to learn Japanese by yourself whether online or offline.

Answer 2

My college uses a software called tell me more. My goal was to become fluent so it was perfect for me and I bought their individual version. It has a lot of different activities: picture/word association, videos, dialogues,..., includes also grammar and conjugation. It has also more content than any other language software. Their speech recognition is great so you can have a dialogue with the computer. You can check out their website for a free demo and compare too, or independent reviews (About.com...).

The best way to learn a language would be through immersion, visiting these countries. Learning a language will require some time. In addition to software, you can have books which are useful as well. Audio CDs like Pimsleur for instance might help you out but you cannot get any feedback on your pronunciation so I did not like it so much

Answer 3

buy a translator
