LeopardGold Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I used to take Japanese lessons. I quit for a year and didn't really study much. I'm starting Japanese again and I talked to my old teacher about not remembering much about the language and she said that it was fine. Now that teacher quit and a new one is there. So I've been frantically looking through old books and websites I used to use. Try http://japaneseculture.about.com. That sight helped me a lot. Plus there are tons of links.

angelica d Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I started learning Japanese a couple of years ago, at an adult ed course - only ten weeks but enough to learn all the kana and the basics! Then the course stopped so I had to carry on by myself which is easier said than done. I recommend 'Japanese For Busy People' as a great textbook. It goes through all the grammar as you go along which is how I learn languages best (as opposed to the secondary school method - pretty much teaching us basic phrases to use). I got a CD ROM thingy as well, which helped. But next year I'm going to do a degree in Japanese next year - I got my letter of acceptance from Leeds Uni today! Woohoo! Good luck in language learning!

aefibird Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 But next year I'm going to do a degree in Japanese next year - I got my letter of acceptance from Leeds Uni today! Woohoo! Congratulations on your place at Leeds Uni!! Good luck with the course too. Just out of interest, what A levels did you need to get on the Japanese degree course? "Was it really worth it?
