I have been very interested in the japanese language and culture within the past year. I want to be able to speak Japanese well, but I find it very hard to do so without anyone to actually speak with on a daily basis. Is there a program out there that is easy to understand, and help me learn on my own? I have bought a few in the past, but they are not helpful at all! They teach you how to say words and phrases, but I have no clue what the words or phrases are! Help!

To tell the truth - teaching yourself is the best way !!! I'm learning Japanese right now and I bought "Rosetta Stone". Its not as good as everyone thinks! The levels barely teach you the words and some words are unclear in pronounciation! It was a bit pricey too. Afterwards, I bought about 2 unpopular programs but neither were good in pronounciation either. [ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT I LEARNED ABOUT 30% OF THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE :)] what I would suggest is to just get some books on it, watch some youtube vids teaching u how and study the old fashion way. Its what gets u through school and what will make u learned the language REALLY well :).

There is none. You cannot expect to learn a language from a computer program. Languages require a lot more effort than that.

This is what I did with satisfactory results. I bought cassette teaching tapes and put the player under my pillow at night, and played the tapes while I slept. This takes time. The only downside is that I can only speak Japanese while I sleep. I hope that you have better results.

Just go to Hawaii. You can hang out on Waikiki and learn Japanese just by listening to everybody on the beach (and on the street, in your hotel, in the restaurants, etc., etc.)

I don't know if you have a college degree or not, but you can teach english in japan if you do. the best and only way to truly learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. teaching english is a good way to be able to live abroad.
