I would like to start learning Japanese. I prefer free material over the internet. Someone suggested using this site: http://kanji.koohii.com/ to learn kanji. It seems like a great site. It has virtual flash cards where you associate the kanji character with its meaning in English. Is this a good idea? Wouldn't it be better to also have the meaning in Japanese?
Anyway, I suppose that's a great site for learning kanji. What should I use to target the other challenges such as vocabulary, grammar, and the other two writing systems? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You can't become semi fluent by just using online resources, you need to get a good textbooks that will teach you grammar, vocab, and kanji. Genki I is a really good teaxtbook. It comes in four volumes, I, II, III, IV. The examples are great in it, and it's a good book even for complete beginners.
www.thejapanshop.com There is where I got my copy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Untrue. Textbooks are helpful, but people have become fluent without them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Read this site. I can't really offer any better advice. It's an absolute goldmine. Here's the table of contents. Make sure to read this page especially.
And forget about textbooks. Edited by OneEye on 28 September 2008 at 11:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
