How to learn Japanese (the real way)

***IF YOU LIKE MY VIDEOS PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT and RATE***

Hey guys, I was on this site a while ago looking at better ways to improve my current Japanese level through self study.

Originally, I studied Japanese for 2 years in highschool, but stopped studying after that and completely forgot most of it. Since I had no money for classes I decided to my good'ol buddy Mr. Interwebz and he brought me to this website:

Here's my interview with the guy who made the website:

Here's his site:

At first I was very skepitcal of this guys style of learning, until I met him in person and saw his skills at work.

His style of learning is very easy and simple to incorporate into my daily life (especially livin in teh =j-land). I kinda broke down his method for the people reading this as kinda "learning outline".

Writing:
-Learn how to write kanji through "Hesig(google search)", don't worry so much on the stroke order or Japanese phrasing, just worry about being able to read/write it and remember the English meaning.

Reading:
-Manga (shonen, easier for me)
-新聞　（J-newspaper-easier to find online)
-2ch
-English/Japanese movies w/ J-subtitles

Listening:
-Listen to J-music/J-tv 24/7 yo
-Watch your fav anime/j-tv w/o subs
-Watch your old fav English movies in Japanese, no subs

Speaking:
-tough, but being in Japan, helps, just gotta be out going
-record yourself saying sentences recorded from tv, other media, etc.



I know this seems like a lot and it is kind of aimed towards already intermediate Japanese learners. Just to say from my personal experience when I first came to Japan and tried many other methods to make myself a criteria to stick to in order to keep studying Japanese; Katz's style has helped me A LOT in an amazingly short amount of time.

I suggest if you guys who are studying Japanese now and looking for something new, check out his website

[Shainingusutaru]

I do that already, I watch japanese adult videos, Jaoanese erogame's, a DS game called Love Plus, I watch Downtown Gaki No Tsukai (super funny japanese show) but learning the basic sounds is important, just try to imitate the locals.

[Shainingusutaru]

You should really work on your accent, you pronounce the tones in American English.

Learning how to pronounce the hiragana should be the first thing.

[EverythingOtaku]

Sam do you have any tips or books or sites for learning the particles and memorizing them and also how to use them in sentences. Hope that made sense.

[Resendiz81]

you sound stupid.

I started this method back 2 years ago and i'm pretty much heading towards fluency by the end of next year(reading,listening and speaking-wise). Writing will take time but I'm giving myself 4 years for complete fluency.This method does work but it's about the long-term effects not short-term effects. Put in the time and you will come out a success(common sense). It should be fun and not seem like your doing work people. Keep at it and you will be fluent in japanese!
