[quote="VideogameDC":3v5rsrxp]I want to learn japanese, bur for some reason, I feel I would just waste my time (sometimes I get distracted easily lol)[/quote:3v5rsrxp]
I found it a bit easier than most I guess.
I used Rosetta stone, which is more formal way of saying things, some may find it repetitive but it is the best way to learn. You can learn Romanji style first, then easily go back again and try it all with Kanji.
Some get a bit confused by the layout of what the Japanese are saying because they may just be used to English so much (I think other language speakers learn Japanese a bit easier in that regard).
But one thing I had to get a bit used to was the difference between
o genki desu ka? and genki desu ka? and just genki?
The first is the formal polite way of asking someone "how are you?" which you should say always to strangers, or else you will get stern looks.
The 2nd is still a bit formal but only if you are more familiar with the person.
The 3rd is among friends, close friends and family.
So yeah, I think thats why Rosetta for me was better cause you learned all the formal ways first with it.
But for me personally the hardest part (and I don’t speak Japanese fluently at all, I can make out most phrases and words on shows but sometimes im like huh) was the Kanji styles, especially the subtle differences in hiragana.
Example.
と = to
ど = do
こ = ko
ご = go
す = su
ず = zu
But they do get a bit more complex with multiple at a time in the same one. But once you get the idea it is not so bad.
Give it a shot, you only live once…
