So I'm picking up Japanese


Well I purchased a book titled "Japanese for Dummies" a few months ago and I want to start learning Japanese. I want to pick up a little at first and expand on it. My plan is to start now, and by the end of college speak either very good Japanese or fluent Japanese. That is four years of Japanese study, with my capabilities I want to see how far I can actually get.


There are some obvious plusses: New, Raw anime will be understandable to a degree and I will be able to communicate with others by speaking Japanese: however I would have to attend kindergarden all over again to learn katakana x_X I am glad Japan is making their country more tourist friendly- all the english signs help and I really appreciate it! It seems like a trip to Japan is inevitable- I want to step off the subway station, enjoy the serenity of the countryside and one lifetime goal I want to accomplish: get to the summit of Mt. Fuji and take in a breathtaking view.


I have studied spanish (estudio espanol) so picking up a new language and learning it's structure shouldn't be hard, but a new challenge.

Hey, I learned Japanese a few years ago and though I didn't use the Dummies Book I did invest in buying this Casio. It's very helpfulhttp://japansugoi.com/wordpress/casio-ex-word-xd-sw4800-electronic-kanji-dictionary/
