Whos willing???

I'd love to learn Japanese: I've tried a couple of times and never have the time. I get as ar as "watashi-wa Spike desu, dozo yoroshiku" and then life throws me a curve-ball! One tip: if you can find them, get hold of an old TV series from the 80s. The first episode is called "I'm Yan" (search for that text string and you might well find them somewhere online - I don't know if they're still under copyright or not). They're basic Japanese lessons and - apart from the little skits being REAAALLY tacky and dated - they're absolutely brilliant. I think there are 52 in all. Unfortunately, I left my copies in France when I moved.

i love watching anime too....

you can also try www.livemocha.com. its a free online basic language training program. i just know a little japanese from the series and anime that i watched. but mostly, i learned from watching japanese series.

Konnichiwa Navi. Watashi wa kirei desu. Im also a big fan of animes and manga series. I love watching it. I learned some japanese language because of that hobby. And also my boss is japanese. Hehe. Im hearing him talks japanese everyday to the point of memorizing it. Now, I can speak and write some basic nihongo language. Its fun learning their language. Its diffucult yet exciting. Watashi mo, dai suki nihongo benkyo shite imasu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

oooo.... the easy way to learn japanese is from their songs too... try to listen japanese songs and download the lyrics.... from the lyrics, u can get the romanji version and english version... =)

hahaha if u see my profile picture, u'll gonna find out what's movie is that...

There are actually some sites out there which are very good when it comes to learning japanese. For example www.thejapanesepage.com I'm a member there since a while and it helped a lot. You can downlaod stuff for free (but there are also thing you can "buy").... check it out - it's worth to reg. if you really want to learn language. Trust me. When you know you want to learn japanese you should first think about - what do you want to learn? Do you want to be able to write? Read? Talk? Most people start with learning Hiragana, than Katakana, than grammer,....

My sister also like to watch japanese anime. I always hear words like 'Dai jo bu ka?' means 'are u alright?' or 'it is ok?'. The words 'Chotto matte kudasai' or 'Matte!' is often used in japanese anime means 'Wait for me!'. Well, I am not a japanese and I am still learning that language. But I hope that helps. Believe me, when u watch japanese movie, you'll hear those words. Nihongo o benkyou shimasu, ganbatte kudasai yo!
