Where can I learn Japanese? - miniatureHard439 - 04-28-2014 01:05 AM
I have a large interest in learning the Japanese language, and I've already learned the first bits of Hiragana, and various grammar rules, but I always end up having to stop because my sources run dry. I don't have a reliable, GOOD source to learn from.
I'm not afraid of spending a little bit of money, as long as the service/product is good.
Also, I need help with making a schedule for learning Japanese. Should I do it once a day for an hour? Two hours? Once every few days?

Look up the site, The Japanese Page.
I had tried using it before and there are some good resources there.

As for a schedule I say it's up to you! Onnly study till you are 'interested', I mean, don't push yourself to study for, let's say, an hour if your attention is only half an hour, study for half an hour and practice for at least another 15 minutes (of course I'm saying random times, you make them for yourself)
for exaple I study for an hour and practice for 10 minutes before going to sleep, then I practice the day after in the morning for another 15 minutes, to make sure I learnt something!
But really you have to find your own pace! C:
