Day 2. Well technically still the same day, just after midnight now, hehe. I decided that Roseta Stone will not do alone in case of Japanese. It is still a great tool, but it was much more... how to say, self-explanatory of a language program when I migrated from a European language to another European tongue. Japanese, as I quickly found out last time, is a whole new ball game. And that is exciting as well as scary for me. After some internet research I have decided that Hiragana is probably the first thing one should master... naturally this assumption might be wrong, but how would I know mate? To my pleasant surprise I have also found many tools for learning Hiragana online! The one that stands out the most, as it teaches you the writing stroke order is this 3-part YouTube series by MasamuneJJ (see lesson 1 below!) ...I just hope that it is accurate, as again, I have no idea how good it really is. On another topic, I'm checking with my university tomorrow to see if I can get into an introductory Japanese class this fall. Will report on that shortly.
Question of the Day: Name some good tips on how to learn Japanese? What study habits or study methods do you use?

Hey Sebby! My name is Amy and I am also learning the Japanese language. I found, for me, that I learn a lot by listening to a language cd in the car while I'm driving and repeating everything they say. And listening to it over and over again! Repetition is the key. Because if you don't use it, ya lose it! Got my meaning? My 4-year old son is having a blast repeating it with me too! Now he can say hello and I'm sorry in Japanese very well! LOL! I hope that helps a little. I'll check the blog again and give you an update on how I'm doing too. Good Luck to you!
Hello Amy! Thanks for reading, and the useful tip. I should get some Jap. Audio for when I'm on the road.
Stop by soon and let me know how your studies are going! :)
Hi Sebby,
I learned to speak japanese just by watching anime with subtitles, at first i was able to speak short senctences, ask questions..etc, then I started to practice writing and reading. Repetition is the key for mastering the writing, if u miss a stroke the word lose it meaning!
Human Japanese is a good software that i used.
