How to learn Japanese??? Nihongo help

How can watashi (Japanese for I) learn Nihongo (Japanese for Japanese)? Watashi (Japanese for I) have studied some kotobatachi (Japanese for words - I'm not sure, but I guess anata can pluralize words in Nihongo by adding tachi?) from Japanese in 10 Minutes a Day hon (Japanese for book). It's a totemo ii hon (Japanese for very good book).

So my question desu (Japanese for is) - how can watashi learn Japanese? I'm kinda bogged down by hirigana and katakana and so I can only use romanji.... >.< Help, kudasai!! domo arigato gozaimasu!!!

You are a faggot.
Go to the fucking Ask Japanese thread.

OP, I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but fuck you anyway.

1. Don't mix Japanese in with English unless completely necessary.
2. Don't use romaji. It'll just fuck you up.
3. Read through all of alljapaneseallthetime.com and follow it religiously. Ignore everything else.

>1. Don't mix Japanese in with English unless completely necessary.

Actually code switching is way to go. It allows one to use constructions from one language that are not possible at all( or not natural) in other language. I don't use it while speaking, but when think, I mix all languages that I can. It dristically increase speed of thinking.

Take that, Sapir. Take that, Whorf.

Haha I sometimes do that too, but I was saying that in the context of learning Japanese (you don't want to be applying English grammar to Japanese or if you try to speak Japanese to a Japanese person then you'll look like a retard)

It can also fuck you English up apparently :P
Nah, but I codeswitch in thoughts too. It can be helpful.

Moji No Benkyou (1) is a free Windows software that helps you to learn Japanese characters (Hiragana and Katakana).

Since everyone requests, and nobody really receives, I've taken the liberty of setting up a study group for everyone. To get into it, you must have Skype. And you must add me (my username is shatteredinsides). You will be added. We accept all newcomers and intermediate (hell, even expert) people learning Japanese. If you do not know Hiragana and Katakana, we shall link you to some references and great study guides. As learning the kana are essential, and should be your first step into this language.


Thanks,

How do you guys ask in Japanese if an item will be made available again?
