I want to learn japanese [Speaking and writing]

Konnichiwa :slight_smile:

I have always wanted to learn Japanese, tried once but gave up. now that the summer vacation is just around the corner I’ve got time to study everyday.
I only know a few words [Numbers 1-10, hello, Thank you and a few more].
And I really do want to know more, I want to learn how to write and how to speak in Japanese, I love watching Animes so it could be nice not relying on the subtitles only hahaha.

I do have a few of the Katakana-Romaji-Hiragana letters in my note book but they are very difficult to remember [Youons confuse me, and Dakuten too] I am aware that there’s also the Kanji [which are even more difficult, haven’t got any of those in my note book]
I’d like to get some tips from those who have already learned Japanese :slight_smile:

Where should I start? I am trying to read and listen here on the site too. Its a little hard because of the way the words are ‘positioned’, its so different from English and Hebrew but I do know I can do it with a little help.

Heisig does work for some people so it’s still good to recommend it as many have succeeded with it.

My advice: learn one of the writing systems at a time. I believe that the Hiragana is typically learned first.

Some people will do it quickly, some slowly. It’s up to everybody who does it to choose the rate at which they will learn characters. I can’t see anything within the method which would prevent people choosing their own rate.

Well, I got a life time to study it then :slight_smile: .
I’ll check the library tomorrow, hope I’ll find a book that fits me.
Hope we have it here though…

@Imyirtseshem
I’ll check Heisig too, thank you both :slight_smile: .
I’ll focus on Hirgana then :slight_smile:

Well hm any recommended sites for now?

@Liran
Yes, I am ready to create your favorite texts to share them.
What kind of topics are you interested in?

I like Math and even Mangas will be awesome [since the text isn’t long]. :slight_smile: Thank you, so much !

You can find Mangas on LingQ.
I will also try to create these kinds of contents.

Go to the menu and read from there. My fluency and literacy in Japanese is to a large extent thanks to having found that blog a couple of years ago.

Thank you I’ll check it out :slight_smile:
