Welcome to the Japanese Language Thread. You can just chill out, speak Japanese, speak English, speak giberish for all I care. Have fun, or if you want to learn Japanese (well, you can learn AND have fun) just let it out here.
Tips:
- Start off slow, don't have such high expectations, and don't be discouraged if you don't meet them
- Brute epetition helps in remembering things.
- Application helps in remembering and actually writing and speaking Japanese. (Write practice sentences, make random phrases)
