As you'll probably be flamed from other members for it, I'll let you know before it gets too out of hand.

Please refrain from using the term "Jap" on this forum.
Your cooperation is appreciated.

i'm actually half japanese, but a native speaker. i am considered fluent in speech and comprehension. i'm still working on my kanji writing, but my reading and writing otherwise is pretty decent as well. also, i've worked as a translator(fansubs, and otherwise) for quite a while.

randomly, i have had 2 people ask me if i'd tutor them in japanese. I never realized that i could actually do it... but then i also realized that there's TONS of people who would love to learn japanese around me so i've started a little tutoring program with some of the people i know who were willing to learn from me. it's actually pretty fun.

i can probably help with some japanese if anyone needs it.

Hey everyone just wanted to let you know I have almost fineshed Japanese lesson 2. It will be finished tonight! www.japanlinked.com/real/

If you want to learn Japanese then I highly suggest learning Hiragana, Katakana, and kanji right from the start. It is hard to find texts that do this but there area few. So I went a head and started writing my own Japanese Lessons you can try them out if you want. Let me know how they are!

Good Luck!

Like Japanese beer. It 's just I found it's kind of strange they have courses in Japan, Korea and China, but they are based in another country. Unless they have English courses over here, it looks fishy.

As I will participate with a language course of LanguBridge this summer, this post caught my eye.

You should know that they also grant teaching jobs to native english speakers. Check out http://www.teach.langubridge.com/.

The organisation only exists from 2001, so thats why it may be hard to find any reviews. I know its risky, but as long as they give information of my host family in advance (which they say they will do), I will be more than happy. I have no idea how professional the japanese lessons will be, but as it will be all conversation based stuff, I dont think theres need for very professional teachers so things cant go wrong on that either.

So I think the price is very reasonable, and ofcourse Tokyo is absolutely the best location.

hello minna..... i wanna ask what is the good/great Kanji book for a someone who wanna study Kanji by theyselves just like me!... im a beginner...... pls tell me...... t's easy for me to find it perhaps......... pls!!!!!!

I am currently using it, I like it. I definitly will buy the deluxe version if they are this good with a free program.

Audio
Kanji
Romaji

Go and get it.

I have to give my opinion about this site: www.hesjapanese.com The course layout is very nice. Subscribers receive one-to-one attentions. The annual fee of $23 is more than reasonable for the care subscribers seem to receive. There is many mp3 file and flash games. And... there is free lessons about hiragana and katakana. Very recommendable.

Well, it's nice that you're giving a GREAT review of your own site, isn't it?
I've taken a look, and as a professional translator, I have to say, it's not all that great.
There are blatant spelling errors, not to mention mistranslations and incorrect verb conjugations. While it would be nice for a beginner, the $23 investment is definitely NOT worth it.
There are far better sites, books, and learning sources out there that cost less or are free.
For anyone looking at this site, I suggest you look elsewhere--it's simply not worth $23. I mean, you can probably get better "lessons" from the Japanese (Linguistics) page on Wikipedia.

Edit: Scratch that, it's not even good for beginners. Oh, it makes me LIVID when people advertise sub-par language learning courses that AREN'T EVEN RUN BY NATIVE SPEAKERS!
