So you want to learn Japanese huh?

Some of the regulars here might remember this webpage, and I thought the new ones might like to get a kick out of it too.

(Again), Enjoy.

Takusan jikan ga irunda

Yep you'll need some time to master this language but once having a solid basis you can understand almost all. Of course those inifinite kanji and their &%$ combinations that even japanese have trouble with them.
I've studied the japanese by my own and it's a bit challenging. I recommend
all of you give it a try
Hey Shiori have you tried the NihongoNouryoukuShiken???

From what I know of Japanese, it's language structure is a lot like Korean (my mother tongue). The sentence structure and the politeness factor are exactly the same. The Korean language even has some Japanese (and Chinese) words thrown in as well. I only know Japanese words from anime but I plan on learning the langauge some day. My dad told me it's a lot easier to learn Japanese if you're already familiar with another asian language.

I gave it a try, but the three alphabets caught me by the scrotum.

Yes, it would probably be easier to learn Japanese from a beautiful young woman about your age wearing a sailor fuku and looks much like a real version of Naru or Urd or the like. Hmm, on second thought, that'd probably hamper your studies of the Japanese language...
