I agree, Leviathan. There's a nice website based on "all Japanese, all the time"--I agree with most of what the creator has to say.

I think a better question for this forum is who doesn't want to learn japanese
I hated learning French and I'm sure I'd hate to learn Japanese. or anything other than English.
Yakuza movies teach me all the japanese I need for when I go there.
I have attempted to learn off of free sites and whatnot over the last few years, I want to take a class or get Rosetta Stone but I don't have the cash for either. I love the Japanese language and culture, I fully intend to live in Japan for a few years before I kick the bucket.
You can pirate Rosetta Stone. :shifty:
Just saying. I have some problems with the way Rosetta Stone works that I really cannot recommend someone buying it. If you get it for free however... shh dont tell eric i said this he'll ban me
When I use Rosetta Stone I get the feeling sometimes that it's teaching me to pronounce something incorrectly. Probably because everything is done in that singsongy kindergarten voice.
I've used Rosetta before. It's not too bad, so long as you use all functions judiciously. And certainly far better if you're using it for romance languages, but hey, Japanese works just fine too.
That's the reaason I don't like rosetta stone. It teaches every language the exact same way. If you ask me, you just can't do that. Also, the dictation is not the same way people speak. Its intentionally slower and clearer.
Yeah, I quit Rosetta pretty fast lol
