There are many ways to study Japanese: lessons, computer software, and books. All of them have their pros and cons which can sometimes make choosing a study method rather difficult. So, to help you decide, some of their good points and bad points are as follows:LessonsIf you have the money and can set aside the same time every week, then private lessons with a native Japanese speaker are the best way to go. Youll get to hear the real, native pronunciation and have someone there who can correct yours. The problem: lessons can be expensive over the long haul and sometimes hard to do if you have a very busy schedule.If cash is a concern, then try swapping lessons with a Japanese friend. The I teach you English, you teach me Japanese way. It is the cheapest way to get a private lesson. Just make sure that the person you ask to swap lessons with is good at teaching. Also, be sure to decide in advance just how long each of you will play the role of the teacher and the role of the student. Politely make sure that your friend follows this set time (and make sure you stick to it as well.)Computer SoftwareIf you cant afford to have a private lesson, cant find someone to swap lessons with, or youre the kind of person who prefers to study alone, then you cant go wrong with computer software packages. Most packages come with audio, video, interactive games, and other activities that make learning fun. The main problem is that they can be a little pricey from the start. But compared to six months of private lessons, computer software packages are a great deal. Unfortunately, computer software programs cant correct your pronunciation so youll need to try out your Japanese with a real Japanese person.BooksThere are many books out there on studying Japanese. Some of them are excellent, some are mediocre, and some are just down right lousy. Because of this, it is easy for someone to become confused as to which ones to buy. Since there are quite a few good ones out there (some Ive used and others that my friends have recommended) Ill give you a checklist of what makes a good book and what makes a bad book.Avoid phrase booksIn my opinion they are basically useless. They are filled with simple one liners that are only used in one-time situations. Real conversation is the dance of words molded and blended together to convey the images in your mind and the feelings in your heart. Studying set phrases will never give you that ability.Make sure the book has a complete CDIts hard to understand why language publishing companies distribute books without supplying a CD to go with them. Almost all foreign languages require you to learn a new set of pronunciation skills and simply describing in writing how to say those new sounds just isnt enough. Demand a CD.Avoid the extremely detailedSome language books go into far more detail than you need -- especially if you are new to the Japanese language. If the book you are looking at has things like: In this situation, say this. But in this strikingly similar situation, you had better say this. Put that book down and find another. Too much detail early on in your study will just sap the energy out of your efforts and lead to discouragement.Dont buy the dating expressions booksMost of these books were written years ago, so the expressions in these books are often outdated. Using them will only get you laughs from the Japanese women as they walk away. And just imagine how you would feel if a Japanese woman came up to you and gave you an outdated pick-up line using the wrong accent, pronunciation, and inflection! Its better to master the basics of the language and not waste your time and money on anything else. And besides, its much more fun to have your Japanese girlfriend teach you the current dating lingo!
