Right now I'm thinking about starting out with a software program, has anyone used or heard of Rosetta Stone? Anyone know of any good or better ones out there I should look into? I'm still undecided of which to take, but I'm trying to look more into it.
Thats what I'm leaning towards but I also realized there was Japanese and I know they're related so it crossed my mind.
Does Japanese come more with Chinese or do neither come with each other? Like if you learn one of them does any or more of the other language come as a side with it?
Japanese is a much simpler language than Chinese. There are a lot of different tones in Chinese, whereas Japanese is basically comprised of two.
I'm currently learning Japanese, and in my opinion, Rosetta Stone is horrible. I would say start out with Pimsleur's Japanese audio lessons.
anime....thats what drove me to learn japanese. Japanese itself if a very difficult language to learn. Take it only if you have the time and determination to actually learn it. You need to build a good foundation or once you move higher and higher...you will struggle. But don't let my words scare you away....chinese is just as hard. The languages are very easy to learn if you are young and exposed to a lot of it...as you grow, it is very difficult to learn. If I may ask, how old are you?
