Kim's guide to learn japanesep

Here you will find a wealth of information that will help you learn Japanese, all for
free. This site has two guides to aid you on your way to full Japanese fluency with
no compromises.

The Complete Guide to Japanese

If you’re new to learning Japanese, I recommend you start with the Complete Guide
to Japanese. This guide avoids long and complicated explanations and teaches
you essential grammar and vocabulary through examples, interesting dialogues,
and suggestions for practical applications. Though it’s still a work in progress, the
first five chapters are essentially done. Feel free to give me a shout if you get near
the end and find that it’s still not finished.

Guide to Japanese Grammar

If you are taking Japanese classes and you want to get a better understanding
of how things work, the Guide to Japanese Grammar is designed to supplement
your studies and give you a solid understanding of the grammatical structure of
Japanese. It thoroughly explains Japanese grammar by starting with the most
fundamental ideas and building upon it layer by layer. It is much easier to
understand than a traditional Japanese class which will likely skip straight to the
polite forms without explaining where they come from. The grammar guide is also
available as an Android or iOS app.

So you want to learn Japanese

Ok, I’m not going to go into all the reasons why Japanese is such a fun and
rewarding language to learn because you’re already here and interested in learning
it. If you’re still undecided or afraid that it’s too hard, don’t be! It can be one of the
easier languages to learn in ways that will surprise you. So here’s what you need to
do to teach yourself Japanese and how to do it by using this site.

1. Learn Hiragana and Katakana (the Japanese “alphabet”).

2. Learn vocabulary (with Kanji) and grammar with help from the either the Complete
Guide or the Grammar Guide.
3. Practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing with material that is interesting to
you.
4. Learn how to use various tools such as online dictionaries.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with progressively more advanced topics.
