I tried this and it didn't work for me.
Use the Dr Moku ios/android apps. I was able to memorize the Hiragana and Katakana in a month with that. I could have done it quicker if I buckled down and studied more.

No...I did it at the same time as University.

Each day on the train I used the app (about 20 minutes). After a month I had them both memorized. Come time for my Japanese test at University I got 100% in both the Hiragana and Katakana tests (writing words in Japanese + converting the Japanese to romaji) along with the Hiragana comprehension test (Had to write a script based on a story. In my case it was introducing myself to the class). Hiragana + Katakana comprehension isn't due another week.

Thanks to the apps i'm currently sitting at 100% in Japanese.

I'm not saying a piece of paper wouldn't work. I'm saying that for me it didn't work and instead the apps worked for me. Furthermore they blended well into my lifestyle (doing it on the way to Uni rather then sitting down and studying for 2 hours+ straight). I always had my phone with me so I could study in between classes/when I had free time, ect.

The university attempted to teach us by giving us a paper based list. By the end of the first month we were all practically using the Moku apps.

As for kanji, they aren't part of my class.
First class covers hiragana/katakana/speaking/listening/culture

Kanji are introduced in the second class (covers those used in JLPT N5 and N4 ).

For kanji I've been recommended to use "heisig's remembering the kanji" which has an app now. I can't comment on its quality yet though. The other recommendation I was given was http://kanji.koohii.com/

It's pretty standard that I've seen from asking friends in other Australian Uni's who are doing/have done Japanese. The only difference I've seen is how quickly they introduce Kanji and whether they include the culture topics or not.

I know some Uni's do it quicker (Apparently Oxford gets you to learn hiragana in a week and Katakana in a week. Before pushing you into 50+ Kanji a week). However in doing so they spend less time on grammar and other aspects.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10865778
Considering they can both be learned in a day or two if you study I would say a week for each is perfectly reasonable considering that you could learn both in a week quite easily.

I'm thinking about starting a Youtube channel dedicated to "teaching" Japanese. Kanji, Grammar and whatever comes to mind. I will make it as professional and as informative as possible. That means, not a random fucker rambling on in front of a webcam and with a piece of paper.

Any suggestions or idea's?

Something i am thinking about is the fact that weekly videos on youtube won't be an efficient method to learn Japanese. So i don't think doing each Kanji, from JLPT5 to JLPT1, will work. The same probably goes for grammar, but maybe not as much. So, how to make something interesting, usefull, but not pointless?

[Anonymous No.]

You should teach Kanji by order of frequency.

That's the worst thing you can do. I know, a lot of people think you'll learn faster "the important stuff" that way, but it's not true. Learning kanji by radicals gets you way faster to the goal since you can anticipate the meaning of a lot of kanji if you know every radical. Learning kanji by the order of frequency will throw you in a pool of cold water whenever you learn a new kanji since you don't have any visual clue.

Tough question. Tell the people they should learn with stuff they actually enjoy (I've learned Japanese for and by reading VNs, for example). Demystify the language and the most common misconceptions. Tell them how they should learn without getting frustrated (stupid shit like memorizing all readings is really common). Deal with unrealistic expectations (it's not over after you've learned all jouyou kanji) and why this shouldn't discourage them.

I'm sure you'll find enough stuff if you think about the common mistakes people make (maybe stuff you've done yourself) while learning.

Make videos about exceptions or idiosyncrasies in the language that a self-learner might not be aware of. Or maybe cultural aspects that would help a person better understand and use the language.

3) When you take shit, when you're on the bus; when you eat, when you are staring into space, write what you see ALL DAY everyday.
4)Test http://www.realkana.com/
5)Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zfBMDNkJuI

Terrible idea. There are professional and informative guides out there already, mainly from qualified teachers/translators and not some random weeaboo who wanted to make YouTube videos.

NamaSensei's videos work for exactly the reason you described. if he wasn't silly and over-the-top, I'd never have remembered the stuff I remember now.

It went fine for me. I have never used a Japanese textbook in my native language, even though we do have some. I think it depends on the textbook and your proficiency. What's your native language?

German.

Well, since I'm going in rehab I thought it would be a good time to learn another language and found this textbook on a flea market for a few bucks.

Its not THAT difficult, but since I'm still struggeling with grammar in english I'm having slight difficulties.

I really suggest that you buy a good book and use it, don't save one the quality of your study material! I also remember that I had good time learning kanji with Heisig when I was at the hospital, so you may consider this as an option (preferably take a kanji dictionary or an app too, though!). Wishing you quick recovery from whatever your health problem is!

Thanks, bud.

Yeah, its an older book from the early 2000's.
Guess it was enough for a first start.

Well, most stuff you get at stores without ordering and having to wait a few days is "learning with manga", and that shit sure ain't gonna end on the check-out with me.

If you are taking a notebook or an e-reader with you, you may just fill it with some e-books like aforementioned Heisig and Tae Kim. My hospital didn't allow it, but I think it'll be the most convenient thing possible.

Try buying a good book instead of some shoddy book you found at a flea market. You should use quality books to help you study, they may cost more but the end result is worth it.

Your English seems good enough to me to read such learning books.
If you are having trouble with how they classify certain words in english, don't sweat it. Many English speakers don't know the proper grammatical classifications of words, and in Japanese learning books, they often make up new words and categories for Japanese words because there is no proper classification already in English.
And if the translation doesn't make too much sense to you in English, that's alright because learning Japanese and then translating it into English when you hear or read it in your mind will hold you back, you should be thinking and understanding in Japanese, not a translation.

Now that i read it again, i see how the wrong message came across. By professional i mean some actual material that will bring the message across.

How come i have never seen any of NamaiSenseis videos, he is the shit haha. I dont have the personality to pull that off, but i wasn't planning on standing in front of a camera with a suit either.

He used a white board and explained well. That kind of professional is what i meant. But now. Can see how that might bee a poor choice of words
