Learning Japanese Redux

JapanFlag.jpg

It’s started again. I’m once again trying to learn Japanese. I took a couple of semester while I was in Junior College and been trying on and off for the last several year to learn more on my own.

This time around I’m using a multi-prong more of attack. I have some Kana Flashcards that I have used in the past to learn hiragana and katakana and once I have those down I have some Kanji Flashcards around here some where to use. The second prong of attack is Smart.fm they have a lot of different ways to help learn Japanese and other languages. Then there are the Pimsleur Japanese I CD set that I have. On top of that i have a few text books laying around and I’ve ordered some blank flashcard to make vocabulary cards. I figure if all that doesn’t get me going good I don’t know what will.

I figured that as long as I’m unemployed I might as well get something done, I should have started back in January. I do have a job interview this Friday but even if I get it the job it shouldn’t interfere with my study. As I will have a 30 commute to work to listen to the Pimsleur CDs, which worked out pretty well when I was going to University. We’ll just have to see how things go this time. If I can stick it out I might get good enough to take the JLPT.

    Learning new dialect is one great thing to do, I also wish to learn Japanese Language, according to some of my friends learning how to speak and deliver Japanese dialect is easy the hard part is if you wish to learn how to write it…Hope you enjoy learning it…

    Japanese writing is a bit on the complex side because of the three different writing systems that are used at the same time. But, I am learning to speak, read and wright all at the same time so it shouldn’t be too bad.
