buy a lot of sticky notes and put the japanese names for everything on everything in your room or house. Only refer to the object by its japanese name or no name at all and upon being close to the object make sure to take note of its name and say it. Thats just good for objects but wont teach sentence structure. |

If you're implying to write anything in romaji then don't ever give anyone advice ever again on anything in your life. That's a really useless way of learning vocabulary for ANY language, but literally completely useless for one that isn't written in the roman alphabet. |

There is a website for having language learning communication. I forgot what it was though. Basically in this case a Japanese person would try to talk to you in English and you try to talk to them i Japanese. Of course they need to be fluent for this to be productive. Heredity said: I know, right? For fuck sake its not rocket science to figure out any number of methods can be combined. Sticky notes is just a workaround for the unlikelihood of them moving to japan just to hear Japanese all the time. Spoken language is more important than written. Babies don't read and write before they speak.then put up the english word, romanji version, and japanese characters. possibly draw arrows to show what means what. goodness - problem solving be hard. Also he made no suggestions for anything better either. |

I would do as Tallon said. Basic letters > basic talk > kanjis Your vocabulary would expand while you learn kanjis. |

Basic letters > basic talk > kanjis Your vocabulary would expand while you learn kanjis. Although yes, it can be done that way. I've gone in detail in many threads in the past about this - however the OP asked for a 'fun' way and I have no fun ways to learn any language, so I have no suggested anything to him or written out my usual wall of text of advice, methods, and links to various helpful sites. I have real ways of learning it, and I'd be glad to help him in that regard (feel free to PM me if you're interested, OP, as your thread is already lost), but it sounds an awful lot like he wants a way to learn that will keep him more interested than the standard and more educational focused way of, well, being educated. That's fine, but I have no experience with that style of learning or teaching a language. So yes, if he wants to go about learning it properly but in the more standard and less 'fun' ways, I'd be glad to help him personally. The best I can do with what he wants though is help him avoid BAD IDEAS that will actually inhibit his ability to learn the language, like yours. |

If you want to learn a language, don't go only for your native language, go for the language that you want to learn. That's one of the reasons that most people can't proper learn languages; not enough environment with the language you are aiming for. |

You would have saved a lot of effort if you said that the first time instead of just directing things at me. I doubt the OP would have seen your posts on other places. They likely did not even use the search feature of the site to see if this question was asked before to read up. I did think the same thing about them not being all too serious to step into it deep enough to learn it well if its only through fun methods. Just slowly being able to understand more and more Japanese when hearing Japanese speaking people in public talk presuming no one can understand them, watching anime, and listening to Japanese music as they learn more and more should be "fun" enough. I do not mean this as the learning method but the learing applied. |

Learn hiragana and katakana first. After that, gradually learn vocabulary, kanji, and grammar. One of the more important parts of Japanese grammar is verb and adjective conjugation, so I'd go with that first. Oh, and I have an online quiz for some of that. https://sites.google.com/site/myjapanesequiz/ |

I do not mean this as the learning method but the learing applied. Thanks for your thought. Maybe I use the wrong word to drop the point. I'm saying that for beginners like me, it's kinda heavy to start with deep and long explanation of the Japanese languange, which I often encounter in many lessons. I'm looking for a guide that stick with the Japanese form only, because most websites use english as the basis for structural sentences learning. If you still don't get my point, I apologize since I'm not an english native. |

1 Learn Hiragana, plenty of places you can do that. 2 Learn some essential grammar and vocab. 3 Learn Katakana whenever you feel like it and learn some Kanji. I used Guide to Japanese for the second part. It's a bit text heavy, but quite easy to follow. You may also like japaneselevelup. Even if you don't want to use their method there's quite a bit of useful tips on there. And most importantly watch anime, play games, etc. etc. the more you get in touch with it, the easier it becomes. |
