does anyone now how i can learn to write read and talk japanese?

Answer 1

If you want to speak and comprehend properly, then the best thing to do is to take a class. This will ensure that you are learning proper grammar, politeness levels, etc.

To read/write in Japanese, you can actually teach yourself! Hiragana and katakana represent sounds, so they are actually very easy to learn. Kanji, the Chinese characters, can be difficult to learn, because most kanji have at LEAST two ways to read them, but if you study kanji along with compounds that use them (as in words that two or more kanji are used to write them), then it is not really that difficult. The AMOUNT of kanji (1,945) that you need to learn takes time, but memorizing the kanji is actually not as bad as many people think. If you are nervous about it, I would say "just do it" is the best way to deal with it. Many students of Japanese are intimidated by kanji (and sometimes hiragana and katakana, as well) and so they use romaji and avoid the writing, but, after learning hiragana and katakana, just choose certain number of kanji to learn at a time and go from there. 20 kanji, for example, is not difficult to memorize, so do that. Then, after you know those kanji, add new kanji. That's the best way do it.

If you are young and cannot take a class, then learning vocabulary and writing are a good idea, because you can teach yourself these without an instructor. You can teach yourself basic grammatical structure, but a class is only way to know if you are using words properly.
