Tips for learning Japanese

Some do not necessarily measure the difficulty of learning Japanese and can be discouraged sooner or later. In this article, I propose simple and practical tips to help you progress in Japanese.

  • Have a strong long-term motivation

Learning the language involves actually want and not be discouraged by the difficulties that arise anyway.
If you are not motivated, if you say "it sucks, I prefer to learn with a mobile app..." then you are not serious and acknowledge it, you will not make progress.

Your motivation must be strong from the start and not erode over the length. The important thing is to work regularly and work effectively.

  • Know by heart kana (hiragana / katakana)

Kana (hiragana / katakana) are the most obvious basis of the written Japanese. You must know all the kana on the fingertips, able to read and write easily. As long as you do not control 100%, no need to start learning written Japanese.

  • Learn the kanji

Once kana known heart, start learning kanji. The two thousand kanji and countless readings and meanings are the big boys. This phase is exciting and offers unparalleled discoveries, But it is also confusante sometimes discouraging. Be careful and do not get discouraged.
The key then is to continue to study regularly.

  • Interact with others around the Japanese

Confront other learners. Exchange your feelings, share your difficulties, ask for clarification of your doubts or ask your questions, speak loudly. Spend time learning to two or more, compare your level with that of other and find there possibly an additional source of motivation

  • Repeat, repeat, repeat

Learning is good, but the important thing is to remember! Listen again and reread the same phrases several times, this will help you master the language on the long-term.

  • Practice

You learn Japanese for speaking and writing, you can find many ways to converse orally and in writing. You have to be in direct contact with Japanese. If there is no Japanese around you, make knowledge via Internet and chat on skype for example.
you can also let the Japanese come to you: watching animated, the drama or Japanese films, or reading manga. Finally, the trip to Japan.
