Hi Habu_Sake, here is my easy 4 step plan for you. 1. Once you've logged onto Italki, click onto Learning a language which in your case is Japanese. Look at the native speakers & feel free to email them and ask for help/advice. 2. Click onto the Resources & Knowledge sections & complete the exercises provided for you. 3.Click onto Groups & join a Japanese Learning Group and find a language partner. 4.Keep a notepad by your computer to jot down any useful expressions that you see. Good Luck! (@Jura: I can do copy-pasting, me! :P)
