like doitashimashite....that's the most fun to say! it's like, don't touch my mustache =) (means "you're welcome)
LoL/i FEELT YOU MOST LIKLY FIND NOONE here,But i Hope many poeple show up/
I'm 14 and I have decided to start learning. I can say a few phrases I am learning from Pimsleur (I am at lesson 2) and I am learning hiragana and katakana from computer programs also while writing them on paper. Kanji will start shortly but I am really not rushing myself.
Any suggestions appreciated.
i need a nihingo sensei im very good a lready cause my tomodachi teaches me but i need someone more advanced to teach me too. help me, KUDASAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! reply as soon as you can...
i can teach.
if you want to talk email me, K?
i have only been studying for about 8 months and i can say almost any simple sentance and i have a large vocabulary.
im teaching to others at my school here because no body here is sertified to teach japanese.
i teach for free and for fun.
and as someone said earlyer it is the best if you start thinking in japanese as much as possible. try to make it a habit that when you dont understand something think "Nani" not "what". if you start doing that sort of thing it will stick with you better.
oh look at me im going on and on again, jibber jabber
i guess i will probably talk to you later
I see people here writing in like all japanese and i can read the hiragana but the Kanji blows me away. 2000?! For those of u fluent how long did it take you to learn, knowing me ill be able to read about a quarter ofthe kanji in only 15 years!
Konichiwa.
Watashi wa nihongo no gakusei desu. Rainen kara benkyou o shimashita.
Chiizu o nomimasu. Watashi wa hon desu. kyou wa Inu to neko o furimashita.
And that's about the extent of my Japanese. It's hard to write in roomaji! I've been studying for about five months, going over my vocabulary and kana.
I've long been a fan of all things japanese (especially haiku, anime, women, and shinto), and have tried learning the language before. I just found your forum, and I'm liking it so far (everyone seems polite, &etc...)
I long to learn to write haiku in japanese, as well as study japanese etymology.

I am a high beginner, I know my hellos/goodbyes and numbers, etc. I also know some shop talk and the basic particles of the japanese language
I hope to be able to say "JLPT 1" this time next year, but I doubt that I'll pass first try...
I just joined. I got the website from my Japanese professor. I think it really cool though. I'm in my fourth year of Japanese. It's really tough but I enjoy it! I would like to be fluent....but I think I'm a long way from that. I hope to make lots of friends here....especially from Japan.

Ive studied at high school which was very... well not study, but i went to japan last year for 11months which really kicked the level up. Attempted the lvl2 ability test in dec but still no result... I hope i passed!!
Kanji is my biggest problem, not just that i had 1000 to remember also had the readings and words you can make with them too... arrgh >_<
My tip: learn hiragana and katakana reeeeeeal good before kanji, get grammer not vocab. Once you know the grammer vocab falls into place with no problem. (Did about 100 words a week once id understood grammar)
Yeah...Kanji is really hard.....that's my biggest problem too. You're right living in Japan really helps.....I didn't really start picking it up until I went to school over there. I was there last year as well. What part of Japan were you in? I lived in Hakusan. I was an exchange student at Toyo University. I'm going back this summer to work for a year as an English teacher in Hokkaido. もちろん、楽しみよ。

I'm lower intermediate. Should pass JLPT4 without problems, going for JLPT3 right away in December (still lots of time to study...)
For memorizing Kanji I learn japanese songs and poems by heart and translate them. I think it helps, especially the songs - with the melody you easily see the words/kanji in your inner eye.
Okay, it doesn't help for writing them, but with the help of the pc you don't need to write them yourself anyway.

coulda fooled mewish I could do that, but am no native-english-speaker...
kanji is pretty easy for me (the writing part, because im a chinese), but kanji is written in traditional chinese, which is a little more difficult to write/remember than the simplified version.
anyway, when it comes to pronouncing kanji in Japanese, i have no idea how to do it. so yeah, its tough.
I am going to be getting japanese classes at a community college soon...so far I know katakana...little bit of hiragana..and some kanji..
For speaking I know greetings (polite ones as well) and a few sentences....been learning for a year now. ^^;
now... I know about everything in a beginners' textbook
but I still see that not enough... I don't know what book shall I buy afterward
ganbatte kudasai!
in fact I love japanese language.. sounds great to me .. I love also to understand the japanese anime which I love alooooot ***
Even that thsi language in my country is sooooooo rare *****

I'm still very much a beginner. My hiragana recognition is about 85% accurate. Katakana next . Volcabulary very small at the moment. Thought it would be a good idea to get the kana's under my belt before tackeling the rest.
except for me of course . . .
im crap at all languages, but am dying to learn this 1!!!
