Is it possible to learn Japanese via Japanese?
I attended a course in Germany which taught me German via German, and even though it was hard to do at first, I learnt a lot faster this way. I was wondering if the same could be done with Japanese. :-)

Does anyone know about such a course in Japan? And if they do, could they please help me find some beginner learning materials using this method?Just to clarify, I don't want to use Google Translate. I was just hoping that there were books for Japanese like 'Hueber' or 'Aspekte', which teach you German via German.----------------

I found a set of books called 'Shin Nihongo No Kiso', which seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you very much to those who helped me. :-D

Answer

I am not a great fan of Google translator.
It is not very good. If you think a webpage or Siri can translate well, why do you come here in the fist place?

Nothing is more dangerous than relying on the webpage.

It is a serious insult to all human translators, teachers and most of all learners.

Pointing the wrong direction cause endleds blame.

And the true purpose of having answer section is that human translation is more accurate than dull webpages.

It is a serious violation and insult to italki
