i badly want to know japanese

[alphenor]

I really do want to learn japanese but I don't much have time. Can you suggest a place somewhere over the internet where I can learn japanese? Thanks a lot.

Japanese is a very complex language, you won't be learning it fast, or easily..
Do you want to learn it for a practical reason, or just to watch anime and play games?

Well... Japanese requires patience. Without time, you can't really learn any language :/

Here's a thread with advice on kanji that you might find useful.

Try to get the book called "Genki". My teacher at the university used it on her lessons and it was very good. Also, look at the page http://genki.japantimes.co.jp/self/self.en.html, there is some stuff that can be learned without the need of help from other people (like the hiragana, katakana and kanji).

Hope it helps.

well, I won't use it for just watching anime or playing games, but it's like adding something to yourself, doing new things. And besides, can't also stand the thought that I can't participate in translating japan-exclusive games that a lot of gbatempers want to play badly.

moreover, can't play or watch using japanese, i'd prefer english

yeah, and as I started, I already know what I'm dealing with...but I'll go with fully learning it as late as June.. I have nothing to do at summer anyway.

Just keep in mind it's going to take years to learn and read Japanese at a fluent/translating level.

Learning foreign languages is extremely time-intensive. It'll take years at studying every day.

Can you suggest a place somewhere over the internet where I can learn japanese?

No, because it won't help much beyond learning the alphabets or some-such.

AFAIK, Rosetta Stone is a language-learning software.

Nice avatar Bro.

Anyway, OT, the NDS game, also for iDevices, My Japanese Coach teaches you some basics, I find it very nice for learning every now and then

 

[Inori]

I suggest you wait until June to start learning, then.


Nothing is ever easy when it comes to learning something properly.
