Okay, here we go... Day 1. Haven't had much time to learn anything today. I came back from work late and I'm not really in a learning mood when I'm tired. Nevertheless I felt like doing something/anything productive towards my goal of learning Japanese. Thus, I finally installed Rosetta Stone: Japanese Level 1 on my computer. The installation was painless, what came after... very. You see, I turn on the program (just out of curiosity) and in about five seconds thoroughly realise that learning Japanese will be TEN times harder than learning English! Even the very first lesson is very very hard, and using Rosetta for French/Italian before... I know that the first lesson was rather easy when it came to European languages. Question comes to mind, do I have what it takes to learn Japanese?
Question of the Day: What was your personal reaction after your first encounter with learning Japanese, inside the class or otherwise.

my encounter was was prob on japanese online which they hv japanese learning tools i did it it felt easy to me to memorize even easier since i want to learn japanese and i want to learn languages i was ethusiastic about it but i know that it isnt that easy u just dont remember words but also how the alpahebet goes how to write and really pronounce the words but ive been speaking spanish all my life and japanese has some words familiar in spanish which i think would be and advantage hey the vowels are the same in spanish hopefully it would help in a long run c-ya frm lunar p.s.
Really!? I had no idea Spanish and Jap. are similar in any aspect. That's so strange, but also very cool.
Thanks for reading!
lol i thought it was strange also but ther was a learn japanese program at a library which i checked out and it had said and i saw that the vowels are the same in spanish as in japanese oh and i downloade a japanese program for free since rosseta stone is expensive its http://www.byki.com/default.html ttyl p.s. enjoying the blog by the way very helpfull thanks
it was rather fun and easy to me, when any1 asks how hard it is, I say it wasn't as hard as i imagined. they were surprised, I think since jap. & mainly kanji depend on images or graphics. Hiragana takes more time to memorise, because there r many similar characters, with little differences that any1 learning needs to distinguish.
