Im going to Japan soon. All I know is how to say hello. I have always been facinated with this language. I want to learn the language as fast as I can and still remember alot of the language. What is the best thing to do to learn languages fast?

I would try any kind of audible learning cd, such as rosetta stone, or the cheapest brand out there since you'd prefer the most inexpensive...but anything done fast isn't necessarily going to work - especially with languages....i guess the advice i could give you is...learn a few key phrases that are common everyday like....
sumimasen ga.... (excuse me, but....)
mou ichido onegai shimasu (could you repeat it, please?)
mou sukoshi, yukkuri hanashite kudasai (please speak slowly)
eigo wo hanashimasu ka (do you speak english?)
kore wa, nan to iimasu ka (what do you call this?)
_______ wa doko ka (where is ______?)
etc etc Good luck on your journey and just talk to as many people as you can! You'd be surprised how many people you meet will like to try out their english...

I believe if you replaced the word "belief" with the synonymous word "hypothesis" you wouldn't have a problem. Unless you're completely unthinking, it's impossible to not already have a preconceived ideas about what you're going to learn. There's nothing wrong with already having beliefs, you can't not have them... Anyhow as the result of learning you learn if you were either right, wrong, or somewhat both in your beliefs. Let's take something simple as an example. The Earth moves around the Sun. My Preconceived Hypothesis: From experience I can watch the sun move across the sky. The Earth feels like it's pretty still. So one can only conclude that the Sun is the one who's actually moving. ^The above is however incorrect. The argument against the above is that when you do the math it's a lot simpler for the Earth and planets to be circling the Sun and not everything circling the Earth. Also we can study Venus and note how the dark side of Venus changes (see as Venus goes around the sun different parts of it are lit up showing that it's moving around the Sun). And why it feels like the Earth is not moving is explained because we are in fact "moving with" the Earth. ===== As a side note I disagree with the person who said "beliefs tend to get in the way". That's not true, in fact, most scientific facts are actually "beliefs" before they're proven. You have a belief, you go out and prove that belief. Copernicus believed the Heliocentric model, he went out and proved it.

Japanese fast?? Nope not gonna happen. Trust me, I've tried cause I live here.
I have a Japanese friend and we get together once a week for a "language exchange." I teach him English for an hour and he teaches me Japanese for an hour. Sometimes it is just chat. Sometimes we have questions for each other. Sometimes we just teach new words, phrases, etc. Since we are taking turns there is obiously no charge.

A great way to learn a language is to take notes and place them all over your house. For example you would take the word dish and put it by your dishes. Do this all around your house and it is easier to learn a language.

From my experience in learning my 3rd language, I took formal lesson once a week, and trying my best to communicate with my subordinate in their language. I also trying to watch their movies, sing their karaoke, and listen to their songs.
I took 3 months to gave a speech in Indonesia.
Now my work requires me to pick up Thai. I am not doing as fast as I did with Indonesia, mainly because I have my families to communicate with me in English.
If I am all alone, and forced to speak everything in Thai, I believe I will also be picking up Thai as fast as I up Indon.

the best way is to go to japan and muck it out.....
i went there with only furigana-s in my head and by the end of the year, i could speak conversational Japanese fluently.....
maybe you might wanna get some text books on kanji.....that'll help with reading and stuff
you can also take the Japanese proficiency test.... its held at the end of every year, around DEC
good luck! things'll work out fine!

You'll never learn Japanese fast and if you're going to Japan without a translator, you're screwed.
