I've learned a lot in such a short span of time, but lately, I've become interested in other dialects of Japanese. I was wondering what your take is on learning different dialects of Japanese. Let's say I want to learn Kansai-ben. Should I learn it as I learn Hyojungo or maybe before or perhaps after? Maybe not at all? My girlfriend (who is from Japan) says it might be strange if I, a White American, learned a dialect (especially Kansai-ben). http://donalsawesomeblog.blogspot.com/ Khatzumoto, I’ve been using your method for a while and I must say it’s pretty swell.

Until that day, shut them out with your headphones and drown them out with Japanese music, if and when they get too rowdy. Besides, it’s not like you understand English anyway.

I discovered your site yesterday and have systematically been reading through every post according to the contents list. I feel so inspired!!! I studied Japanese for four years at high school and have carried on with my own self-study for the past four years during uni (Wow! Eight years?! How can I know so little!!! .. well now I can understand why =P). As it happens, for the past month I have been plowing through Jdramas and I noticed that when I was least expecting, fully formed japanese phrases were just popping into my head (!). That's why, as I have been reading the articles, I can believe in your method (/philosophy) because I have already experienced the results first hand =). Thank you for all of your insight! I think that this might just be the turning point for my language learning! =) This is a great post!!

I'm going to try this method, with the help of this site. And I also strongly agree that you are very good at being motivational. Reading this was inspiring! Good job, and thank you very much :) I have to agree with Eric (and I think with Chiro-kun, but I’m unsure about that text, I’ll admit) that I think I’m lucky for finding this site, especially since your philosophy about learning languages seems like an extension of my own, and a reasonable one at that!
