There is no shortcut to learning a language, no matter how you decide to do it, it will take effort.
Though there are more ways to learn a language than just through class, find the method that suits you the best.

Replace "4chan" with "any group of nerds on the internet", then.

Buy some books, and live there with family for a year or two. You'll sound like a retard in Japanese for the rest of your life, just because you look like a native.

[Anonymous No.]

sorry, no EASY ways. but there are more EFFICIENT ways than taking years of classes.

first, download kana charts and memorize the hiragana and katakana. i made flash cards of them and had them pretty well memorized after 2 weeks. (only studying about an hour a day) there's a mess of free quiz sites out there which will help with proper pronounciation. (japantimes has a lot of great resources for that.)

then go to smart.fm's core japanese lessons. it's fast-paced and kinda fun. you'll enjoy learning. but because it's fast-paced, you may have to do a little review/extra study from time to time.

watch japanese tv/news/anime and be surprised at how much you can understand w/o looking at subtitles.

[Anonymous No.]

Once you know the basic sentence structure, you can download Rikaichan and lurk Futaba and Pixiv all day, highlighting words. That's what I do.

If you are serious and won't quit when confronted with difficulty, http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar is probably the best starting place.

I've been using these, and it's been pretty good so far I guess.

I'm still at the "learn all these confusing runes" phase though.

The longer I'm learning vocabulary, the more I realize that it's actually the grammar that is way more fucked up than the kanji.

I never learned English grammar, I just learned that "This is how shit goes", but with 50 verb forms in Japanese this may not work out so well.

The main thing is to stick with it. I started learning some years back and dropped it so I'm mostly playing catch up at this point. If I'd kept it up even 20 minutes a day, I'd be in good shape now.
Be persistent and don't go a day without at least reviewing. That's all I can tell you.

[Anonymous No.]

I've been told that learning the stroke order of kana is a pretty effective way of memorising them. Anyone tried this method before?

[Anonymous No.]

1.) Learn hiragana and katakana
2.) Learn grammar with Tae Kim's guide
3.) Learn Kanji
4.) Play eroge with a good dictionary, if you do the above then you will then learn faster by reading actual stuff with a dictionary then anything else.

>>5268304
If you have any difficulty memorizing the kana, I suggest you just quit while you're still ahead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5268320
I say skim the grammar for some basic idea of how it works but don't worry about using it to build sentences at first. After a while of reading and listening, you get an idea of how to actually express things and then you can go back to grammar and really understand it without having to struggle through.

use this for kanji.

easy cheese
-memorize kana (repetition drilling, doesn't take long)
-read kanjidamage couple mins a day
-pick a book or website or something for basic grammar and read a couple mins a day
-continue watching anime / listening to drama cd / reading doujin and all the shit you hopefully do already, just try really paying attention and trying to make sense of what is said or written
-read manga or doujins with a dictionary
Japanese is probably the only thing I can think of that you can study all day and actually have fun doing.

1. Get a box and lots of paper.
2. Set a goal each week - you will fill that fucking box with all the kana you have practiced

In middle school I hid my report card once because I got a B.

Thankfully my parents gave up on trying to make me a the world's next Einstein once I hit high school.

Of course now I post on /jp/ so perhaps that wasn't for the best.

Come to think of it, do westerners whip/cane their children like asians do?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5268453
it probably works, but, in my opinion, it isn't worth the effort.

[Anonymous No.]

If you have a DS and a flashcart there's a cool homebrew app that lets you drill kana. It's very simple and no frills, just drilling. I played it nonstop for like five days and was done with kana. Might want to consider it.

Chinese people actually thank their parents for beating them like that, after they grow up. So it isn't really child abuse... to them.
