    Do you want to learn Japanese? I am a bachelor student majoring in Japanese in the East and South East Asian Studies program at my University and I have promised some acquaintances in this forum to help them with learning Japanese, which is why I thought that I would increase the availability of the material that I'm currently making.

    Some information about things that you might want to know:

    1) As I feel that there are a lot of good literature for learning Japanese I will be using them as a reference, however I do also feel that they are incomplete and contributing to a Japanese that's quite unnatural. This makes that I will make my own material, using them as a reference with my own notes and experience as well as other factors to be able to supply you with the material.

    2) This is done outside of my studies and it will be on the basis of me having free time, which at some times can be quite little and at times quite a lot. The goal however is 1 to 2 lessons per month (one lesson would correspond to a chapter in for example Genki)

    3) I will upload the files as PDF files to a DropBox account that will be shared with those whom are interested in learning Japanese from me. However as it will be my own material I would appreciate if it would not be spread, abused or anything in that way, as well as I would from time to time want some feedback on what's good and what's less good, in order to revise and make the material even better. To access the material you will have to PM me to be invited to the folder (as I don't know how to make public folders without inviting through e-mail addresses).

    4) Contact will be available through e-mail, private messages, the chat in this forum as well as the best options of posting in this thread.

    DropBox folder contents:

    Lesson 1:
    Hiragana Worksheet
    Greetings

    Lesson 2:
    Katakana Worksheet: Due to next week

    I am very pleased to see that there are so many that have shown their interest in learning Japanese!

    Some of the first contents has been uploaded for those whom already can read (and write) hiragana. For you whom can't read or write hiragana please be patient while a quite throughout worksheet designed to teach you the whole alphabet, I'm now on page 18 out of 27)

    Let me also remind you of what is written on top, you have to get an invite to the DropBox folder in order to get access to the material.

    3) I will upload the files as PDF files to a DropBox account that will be shared with those whom are interested in learning Japanese from me. However as it will be my own material I would appreciate if it would not be spread, abused or anything in that way, as well as I would from time to time want some feedback on what's good and what's less good, in order to revise and make the material even better. To access the material you will have to PM me to be invited to the folder (as I don't know how to make public folders without inviting through e-mail addresses).

    4) Contact will be available through e-mail, private messages, the chat in this forum as well as the best options of posting in this thread.

    DropBox folder contents:

    Lesson 1:
    Hiragana Worksheet: Soon to be up (18 pages out of 27 made)
    Greetings

    Lesson 2:
    Scheduled till the 15th of February.


    Lesson 2 has been delayed due to studies till the 25th of February.

    Hey Yggdrasil,

    Would you like some help with this? I'm pretty decent, just not Kanji wise. Taken Japanese for about 2 years and can hold a decent convo with native Japanese speakers (work in a small tourist filled place). :)

    Any help is of course welcome, if we talk about a bit about what you can do I'm sure that we'll be able to make better material. The best would be if we could discuss it via e-mail or Skype to discuss it further.

    I'm sending you my e-mail address and Skype screen name in a private message.

    Sali> There is nothing that's scary with studying at your own pace! You can challenge it whenever you want! Just tell me and I'll help you as much as I can.

    It is indeed, if you'd want to learn Japanese too just send me a pm with your e-mail and I'll invite you to the Dropbox folder.

    Here's two great quotes about language:

    -Benjamin Lee Whorf

    "You can never understand one language until you understand at least two"
    -Geoffrey Willans
