Preferably at a school, but if you're looking for free alternatives, there are some great language exchange sites out there. Two of my favorites are italki and interpals. italki is more uh.. legit, I guess. I use italki a lot. I make good use of it's little journal thing. I just try to write a few paragraphs of something, and a native speaker will come and correct it for you. You can meet people and learn for free, but there are also verified tutors there that you can get lessons from kinda cheap, using the site's own currency. interpals can be really great as well, and you can meet some awesome people but it's also kind of treated as a dating site as well. it's a weird limbo there. I've made plenty of Korean friends there that I still talk to though. Haven't used it for my Japanese studies yet as I already know people closer to me to exchange with. Things I don't recommend: Rosetta Stone. They're decent for European languages, but any Asian language programs/CDs they offer are absolute trash. Learning from just anime. Don't do it. You can't do it. You can use anime and j-music to help supplement your studies but you can't learn from just that.

I'll start this week prolly with learning japanese! :D I want to visit japan badly, so I need to learn it at least a bit anyway ^.^'

Konnichiwa, genki desu ka? Seriously though: if you go to university/college, check out the language courses. I'm in a technological university (those universities don't have too many options in terms of languages... at least in germany) and even we have japanese as an additional course. If not... internet's your best friend.

Hello everyone. Can anyone recommend me books to learn japanese? I know hiragana, katakana and about 150 kanjis but I don't know what to do, advice are well received too
