Hey guys anyone know a program that can really help you learn Japanese? I know of only Rosetta Stone, but I used it back in high school and it didn't really help me plus it's really expensive haha so any advice?

I can learn it, I just have go to my College over here and apply for A Japanese course. But I'm already doing A course so... can't really do both now. Seeing as this course's difficulty is high. :cool:

That sucks, seems like you're in the same case as me.. So don't worry to much as you're not going to be going anywhere any time soon. (you should know what I mean by that) and focus on your current course. You can always learn Japanese some other time. Or if it's A must.. look out for your next break from college & you can do what that other person suggested and take A language study trip to japan. Or even find some other place in your area that can teach you Japanese. :cool:

Ah I see, yeah I'm only taking one class where they say it won't be easy (I start in two weeks). Idk maybe things work different for you and me in terms of our college system as I don't live in the U.S.

Rossetta Stone is useless.

Use the internet, most notably japanese.about.com and buy a grammar guide and dictionary (For a grammar guide, Barrons Japanese Grammar is good and for a dictionary; Collins, Oxford or Berlitz).

Why learn a useless language?

Take up Latin instead.

Japanese is far from useless, as an experienced linguist myself and one who has an advanced grasp of Japanese, there are many practical uses for it.

Well I went private catholic schools since I was young and now I'm in a community college (not sure if you know what that means) but I feel that I'm more mentally skilled for these classes because of my past lol
