So far my experience with the Japanese language has really has yet to be decided. I can tell you that so far I flew through the basics but have not found the people to practice with. That's the most discouraging part of learning a language. It has been a struggle to find someone to speak/chat with in Japanese. Without this element, I feel that learning any language becomes difficult. Currently learning a lesson has become impossible because of this factor. I'm half tempted to give up learning the language because there's no teachers in America and private teachers...don't really know how to teach. ((No offense to those who can prove me wrong.)) There's no material out there that actually helps. With this writing, I hope to guide you through what I know when learning Japanese. Any tips, corrections and so on would be more than welcome. A teacher would be welcome too.
