i want to learn spanish



Untitled 3 days ago

Okay, its been a long time since I’ve done anything about this goal, so my vocabulary and skills are probably ruined. I signed up for a basic free e-course that’s happening on Sunday through edufire.com, and I put my japanese stuff out on my desk as a “reward” for getting done with my regular homework.

I've been wanting to do this awhile now 6 days ago

I bought the Nintendo DS game “My Japanese Coach” a week ago. I’m pretty excited, but I’ve been busy so I haven’t used it much. I also have some books to teach me so if I get on the ball (and I will) I should know (and be able to speak) pretty good, but maybe broken, Japanese, I’ll take it from there with other learning material :)



Untitled 1 week ago

I’d like to do this. I took a class in high school and was the top of my class, but I started missing days and so I’d miss lessons, yet I still knew more than almost all of (except for two) the kids in my class. My new teacher even said that I was still really good and that I should continue on with my education in Japanese. I wish I would have listened. That was 2 years of wasted time that could have been spent learning Japanese. I LOVE Japanese music and can even sing whole songs in Japanese. I’ve still retained the ability to read hiragana/katakana and say my name and etc, but I’m not fluent.



i am still interested in it 1 week ago

i wanna learn it… just as how i learn english…
to explore a world of japanese, it must feels wonderful…

I have some fundamental Japanese skills already. I plan to be fluent in Japanese by the end of 2009.



Practice Japanese With Pankun 1 week ago

パンくん (Pankun), the genius chimpanzee, is the star of a Japanese television show. Pankun is a chimp that’s able to complete everyday tasks and is one comedic character.

In this episode watch Pankun face off with Aiba, a Japanese entertainer, in a contest of feats. They battle in various physical activities, such as: push ups, an eating contest, and a dance off.

Part One

Part Two

To make learning Japanese a bit more interesting, I find it enjoyable to watch videos in which Japanese is the only spoken language, without any English subtitles. Watching videos without subtitles seems daunting at first, yet one is able to gain at least a fragment of understanding, even without completely understanding what they are saying.

If you simply watch the way people use body language, as well as listen to the emphasis and emotion that is put into the way they speak, it is easy to get the gist of what is going on.

I don’t see watching video in Japanese as a way to learn the Japanese language, but rather a fun way to see how your listening comprehension is. After learning Japanese for a little while, I am able to progressively pick out words and phrases. The more that Japanese I learn, the more I will be able to understand.
