How to self study Japanese

HWZ Forumer: “Can, how do i self study Japanese? Is it possible?” Can: “Yes, it's possible. I have seen people who have done it” HWZ Forumer: “So how do i start?”

• 1. Start remembering how to write and read the Hiragana Chart. The Youtube videos provided by Japanese101 are very useful.
• 2. Start learning grammar. Tae Kim's website offers a good grammar guide. Good books like Genki / Japanese for Busy People are good for self-learners as well. (^_^)
• 3. Start learning vocabulary. MLC Japanese page has a comprehensive JLPT guide to help you to learn vocabulary. Start from N5, then slowly proceed to N1.
• 4. Have a good dictionary. Tagaini Jisho is a good dictionary to help you with words that you don't know.
• 5. Listen to Japanese songs/drama/anime and try to mimic the tones/what they say. Majo no Jyoken is a good drama to start.

Feel free to ask me any questions if you encounter any problems. =)
