boosted98gst Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I study Japanese on the side, while I wait to graduate from DeVry so I can go to someplace else for real classes. I tried Rosetta Stone, and just could not take anything away from it, and also found it very boring and not very engaging. I find video lessons on YouTube and audio books much easier to learn by, as well as subtitled TV shows. The best way to learn is live in japan. You should try and pay a tutor because learning japanese is hard from just watching subtited tv and youtube , japanese accent and how we speak the language is alot different then english.

The tutors on YouTube all teach in different dialects, like mecha/meccha vs cho. Like I said, this is only temporary till I can afford/have time for proper education...

Nate1647545505 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Alot of the government branches use Rosetta. I can say your effort to learn is still required, but I feel the teaching method is more effective then your traditional high school lang class.
