「～んですが」が苦手なようですね。でも、私の友達に音声学を専攻した人がいますが、発音は必ず矯正できます！がんばりましょう

    次の文章は正しいですか？ 「このテーマについての何か他の言葉がありますか？」"Are there any other words related to this topic?" - The idea behind the question is that when I discuss a particular topic with my tutor, I want to know if there are any other words related to the same topic. よろしくお願いします

    自己紹介 今日のレッスンには先生と自己紹介を練習しました。私はまず、それは簡単だと思ったけど、レッスンの時、難しくなりました。先生は出身地や高校と大学の生活や仕事や趣味など、たくさん質問を聞きました。大変です！結局、たくさん言葉と表現を学びました。とってもいいレッスンでした！

    Hi, Eugene, When I started with Hiragana, I was lucky to pick up an awesome book by Timothy G. Stout called "Japanese Hiragana & Katakana for Beginners". I think I learned both in one day! There are picture mnemonics that bind together the "look" and the pronunciation of both alphabets. It makes it super easy to learn. If you want a free one, there is a guide by one of iTalki's tutors on her website: http://www.japaneseammo.com/the-easiest-way-to-learn-hiragana/ I like that one as well. Hope this helps! My favourite one is ゆ = YOU stabbed the fish! Ha ha! Enjoy!

    「を」の使い方 こんにちは。ちょっと手伝ってください。 これらの例文の意味が違いますか？ 1）空いている時間に日本語の勉強をします。 2）空いている時間に日本語を勉強します。 日本語で教えてください。 ありがとう！

    Hi there,

     

    I guess you are interested in the available language resources, rather than a method (since you already successfully learned foreign languages before, why not use the same method)? I've been studying Japanese for just under 2 years and by trial and error I have accumulated a lot of links that I found useful. Some of them promote specific methods and some are more focused on the Japanese media available for the learners of Japanese. It also depends on the available $$$ (not everything on the internet is free). I can share the links if you think it would save you some "googling". Otherwise the previous comment is spot on.

     

    Good luck with your new adventure!

     

    Cheers!

    Привет! You don't need to be afraid to use it. Even though you are right that in certain situations it's a mild form of "$h!t", it is quite mild and you really have to mean it for it to sound like that. Think about it this way: in English, you want to say "$h!t", so you start "SH..." and then you see a little kid nearby, so you quickly go "... eeez". In Russian you would basically use "blin" instead of another very strong expletive. But on it's own it is just a "pancake". Hope it helps, but please ask more questions :) Cheers!

    Hi,

     

    There is this guy that learns / teaches languages almost exclusively through music. Check out his website here: http://www.mimicmethod.com (it will help if you like rap/hip-hop)

     

    A nice solution for listening (and downloading) the music videos off YouTube is an app called Minitube (http://flavio.tordini.org) - assuming you use a Mac. But I am sure there is a similar app for Windows / Linux. There are some great playlists on YouTube. For example this guy has a great page (if you like rap): nihongorapyoyo - he updates it quite often and even provides the links to iTunes / Amazon stores.

     

    You could also use Audio Hijack - a great little app to record from any audio source (websites, other apps, etc.)

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Cheers
