10 Good Habits for Learning Japanese

Most of the people have questions in their mind that is Japanese hard to learn or not. The answer is 'it is not hard for anyone to learn Japanese who is passionate'. But it is difficult for those who think they can't learn. If you are willing to learn Japanese, here are some amazing tips and steps for you to follow

  1. Keep a Notebook

The basic and best way to learn Japanese is to buy a low price notebook (moleskine-notebook could be a good recommendation) and write down any kind of new words-vocabulary or phrases which you hear from anyone. Every new word you hear or read related to Japanese language, note down it immediately with details of meaning and use in speaking Japanese with at least 2 to 3 examples. And if you observe the same word being used in another sentence that you have learnt, write it again with that newly observed sentence as another example in your notebook.

  1. Take Up A Japanese Hobby

An important step to learn Japanese is to adapt a Japanese habit. It could be kendo(sword-fighting) or something like ikebana(flower arrangement) which will give you some benefits given as follows

  • The first thing is that it will be a great and amazing fun for you to adapt a new and interesting hobby.
  • Secondly, a hobby of your choice will definitely give a great opportunity to introduce yourself to people resulting in increased learning ability.
  • Finally, the most important thing is the motivation you'll get to learn Japanese. Motivation and passion is something that a person requires to be successful in his/her goals.

Contact people there and make sure that your conversation is in English and Japanese both. It is a good way to expose yourself to a new language. In this way, you can make contacts in Japan. If you are not able to read Kanji, you must try downloading a plugin for web browser Firefox named Rikaichan. It is basically a dictionary which helps you in Japanese learning with translation.

 

  1. Review Characters Once A Week

If you have just started then it's very crucial for you to review characters like hiragana/katakana at least once in a week. Repetition helps to bring fluency in your learning and speaking. Instead of spending one afternoon trying to stuff all the characters into your brain, it's much easier and most effective to go slowly but steadily and review regularly. You must be able to recognize and read words you see, and note down words you hear. If you are assured with your kana, you can move onto Kanji when you feel prepared.

 

  1. Make Japanese Skype Friends

It is just like making pen-friends. The only difference is that you actually are in direct contact and talking to your friends over the internet. Mostly your pen friends become skype friends. This will be a good speaking practice and learning speed depends upon your seek for learning.
