Anyone studying japanese?

Yeah, I know someone like that. No matter how many sources found, he wanted to study, but he couldn't pay attention to it, instead he'd try to but lose interest shortly after and do something else. I tend to sometimes get in the mood to study more, but I just can't get around to do it. I keep it on my list of things to do however Ahaha

はい。私が日本語を勉強しています。 for independent study android has "hiragana learn" "katakana learn" and "obenkyou" for reading and writing kana and the 5 levels of kanji required for japanese proficiency exam. for learning grammar a good starting.point is tae kim's "learning japanese guide" app that explains basic sentence structures, particle attachment and conjugation. a visual dictionary also helps

Android and Unix based systems such as Linux have a larger variety of FREE applications for studying foreign languages, especially Japanese. Since the platforms are more open rather than Mac and Windows, it allows people to develop a wider variety of applications. So people can write programs for studying far more easily, especially if they're in the same boat as you; Or someone who is Japanese trying to make your life easier. I've got some dictionary app called 'Tagaini Jisho', and a flash card app called 'Kana test' which use basically flash-cards of the writing system. There's a few more available, but these are the better ones available right now. Of course using a PC to study isn't really going to teach you how to write it on paper, but it does help learn the language itself. These tools are really helpful, allows you to search up an English word and find the Japanese equivalent. Or enter a Kanji symbol and it gets you the English result and how it's used, or words that a similar to it.

神猫、　なるほど。 I never saw that anime so I didn't get the reference. The app that I found the most useful is called rikaichan (for firefox) or rikaikun (for google chrome) if you mouse over something in Japanese in those browsers it'll give you the hiragana and english meaning. so it's really useful for reading unknown kanji

i suppose that　it would be incorrect in on'yomi because the kanji are together but in this case im using the Kun'yomi for both kanji in.reference to the character. @kuromaru i agree that.linux is nice and easy to code with but windows is much more well supported and.relatively.easy to crack. i despise apple. : )

Oh yes, I forgot about those extensions. Remembered using that quite some time ago to help translate a conversation I was having with a group of Japanese people on a social networking website. Very useful indeed. I don't know many Kanji symbols myself Yes, Windows itself is more supported for software wise, but the overall I/O performance of hardware is more responsive with less latency. Plus it comes with developer tools built in, for me as an software developer it just makes my life a ton easier if they come pre-installed, rather then after, but it's not popular enough for companies like Adobe to consider; I enjoy Apple products aswell, but I don't have any other than an iPod. If I despise a company it would have to be Microsoft or EA.

I study Japanese in my free time but I'm a very busy student and I work outside classes so I really struggle with finding sufficient time for things to sink in. I know how to read Hiragana and Katakana, I started on Kanji and I know the whole "kun'yomi, on'yomi" deal but know very few actual Kanji I can recognize and I tend to forget the ones I know when I learn some others =(
