Does anyone know any good sites to help me learn basic Japanese?

Answer 2

Here are a few sites that have free lessons...
http://www.freejapaneselessons.com/
http://www.learn-japanese.net/

If you find that the free sites are not enough, I can highly recommend a couple of very good programs to purchase. My husband and I have learned Spanish and Russian.
We use BOTH the Rosetta Stone (a computer program) and the Pimsleur Method (audio cd's). These two are the best things on the market.

Each approaches learning the language a different way. And I have found using both really helps round out my learning.

The Pimsleur method is super fast and the best to start with. You are given 30 minute lessons you listen and speak with. You start with basic and keep adding until you are able to have a full conversion.

Rosetta Stone will help with reading and the grammer. I found this to help complete what I was learning with Pimsleur.

If you have to choose only one.. go with Pimsleur. You will be able to have conversations very quickly.
