how to learn japanese....according to jen

here are some tips on how to learn japanese. they are working for me, but maybe they wont work for you. but anyways, here they are.


go to karaoke. (and sing japanese songs)

join a gym (or club or something that you have to do a few times a week) and talk to people. retired people are good to be around. they like to talk

ask people directions or questions, evn if you already know the answer

teach english and listen to what your students say in response to things. i think ive learned more japanese from my students then the english they learned from me.

dont think, just ask a question or attempt to say something before thinking it over.. it may come out funny-- but at least it comes out


ok off to work. its friday! whooohooo
