TRAVEL TOPIC: Essential Travel Planning to Japan


A way of making learning Japanese language fun
My first language is Japanese. As my second language, I have been learning English for years, but I am still at an intermediate level. Especially, speaking in English, which is still very difficult for me. I know the reason for the this lack of progress and it is because I rarely get opportunities of hearing English conversation in daily life here in Japan.

In fact, I am not the only one who is having this problem. One of my Japanese business friends told me to find a solution to a lack of opportunies of speaking English in Japan, he was using a DVD version of the American TV drama Friends to learn English. I think that is a good choice as a teaching aid. It is also important to enjoy learning and have fun, which will also give you encouragement and inspiration.

Maybe I can say the same thing for learning Japanese. If you are learning Japanese, watching Japanese drama or cartoons on TV or from a DVD is a good idea. However, I suggest you be careful when you select Japanese cartoons as learning material. Some characters in Japanese animations speak in formal ways that is totally different from ordinary, day-to-day speaking in Modern day Japan.

For example, I've have heard a cartoon character speaking like a Samurai would hundreds of years ago. No Japanese speak like that any more....hmmm I think Sazae-san or that kind of cartoon should be ok. Sazae-san is the most popular cartoon in Japan. It's been said that Sazae-san reflects even the Japanese economy.

Anyway, it is better try enjoying learning one way or another. That must be a quicker way to catch it in.

However, here is an interesting web site related to learning Japanese conversation.

Speak as Romans Speak
A Japanese University Student operates this site. It's a new style of becoming familiar with foreign languages. (http://www.speakasromansspeak.com)

Another worthwhile site that I recommend is this site..

Japan Online School
Here is an online Japanese language school site, managed by a young Japanese guy. All the teachers at this school are native Japanese speakers. They not only offer online Japanese lesson at very reasonable price, there are newsletters filled with very useful information on learning Japanese. Students can sign up and the newsletters are sent to you via email
