Hey Linguajunkie….. I thought you might enjoy this story. I came across your site searching for Japanese lessons a while ago and found your “How to Learn Japanese: A Guide for BEGINNERS ONLY” PDF ebook. It was interesting and I’ll admit I read it all BUT it felt kind of “self-help” which made me not take your advice seriously. Then, 2 weeks later, I find myself downloading some new app hoping it helps me learn Japanese faster…and I remember your advice about learning, taking action, continuing, how to set goals and such. And for the first time in my life (well, I don’t know if it’s the first, haha) I thought… “why NOT put that advice into action?” This is what frustrates me now: We all know. We all KNOW good advice. Like we all knew we should go to sleep on time. We all know exercise is important. But, we DON’T do ANYTHING about it except feel smart about knowing this. And feeling smart doesn’t result in me learning more Japanese. I know so many smart people that can talk about prepositions, grammar rules and the best study apps and websites yet none of them are fluent. I’m ashamed to say I’m kind of like this. So while feeling like a total idiot, I remembered your guide and dude I PRINTED it out, stapled it together and I took action based on it. It’s almost like a Bible to me and I go back to it often just to remind myself of the tips and see how I can apply it. While I am tempted to find some new Apps maybe because it’s exciting to try something shiny and new (honestly, it’s like they’re all the same anyway…), I’ve made much more progress with your help… and a 9 page PDF. I finished the first Genki textbook and the workbook. I set small goals and know around 700 Japanese phrases now. I now read 10 pages of manga a day with little trouble. I don’t know how much speaking I can handle because I don’t have a Japanese person or tutor yet… but that’s my progress over the past 3 months. I just feel so stupid about how I felt “smart about languages” earlier but couldn’t handle a page of Japanese. Anyway, thank you. I didn’t expect this to light a fire up under my butt and I kinda realize how important taking action and applying advice – DOING – rather than thinking about language and chasing new shiny stuff. Okay, I wrote a lot 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH for these links!! I just started learning Japanese grammar and I need all the help I can get at this point! Especially with particles. ありがとうございます
Why do you discretely link back to your own site while trying to “be relevant”? Obviously trying to promote. Sorry. Not here.
And “spam” is right.
yes, i edited it out.
love japanese
