Here's a tip.  Go to France on an exchange program.  You will learn more French in one month than in a year of study.  Check around.  There are some summer programs that are not that expensive.

You can do a small free trial at www.rosettastone.com.  It uses a visual technique that doesn't involve translation that they claim is more natural.  It's kinda fun too.  $45/month I think for unlimited usage per language.  Japanese is one of the choices.

Hmmm... What do you mean by fast? Is 4 years fast? This is how much it got me to actually say I can use my Japanese... I think all the languages you would like to learn take at least 2 or 3 years. For Japanese, there are plenty of good sites on the internet. You could use them. I dont know any courses, though. Don't worry for your spelling. It's perfectly understandable. Good luck with the others!

My personal experience:\nI went to Japan knowing the bare basics - greetings, and things related to my current state of being, such as "I`m hungry" "I`m thirsty" etc. I was in an environment where I had the option of speaking Japanese or not speaking at all. There was no English to fall back on.\n\nWithin a month, I could stumble through conversation (With hand movements and drawings) enough to make friends. Two months, and I could sort of manage to understand most of what was going on around me without too much difficulty. Three months and I was able to call and talk to my friends over the phone (basic conversation without any expression/drawing help.)\nEverything from then on was just slowly improving and polishing what I knew. I would say true fluency in *speaking* took around 8 months? Although by around 5 months or so, I could make myself look fluent. (You know, when you understand enough of the conversation to understand what they mean without *really* understanding the words?) After close to a year, I was able to fool anyone I spoke to into thinking that I had been born in Japan. (ie, no accent, no mistakes, etc.)\nWritten language took a bit longer. I could read quite well after about a year, and I considered myself fluent after around a year and a half. It`s hard to learn a written language if you don`t know what the words you are reading mean, so I didn`t read much until after I was pretty much speaking fluently. \n\nMind you though, I was in Japan, in a situation without the option of English interaction available to me. I was also 17 when I came to Japan - as you age it takes longer to pick up new languages. If you go to Japan to teach English or with a school program, your actual exposure to Japanese will be drastically less. And if you have the option to fall back on a language that is easier for you, 9 times out of 10, you probably will. Make sure you NEED to speak the language to survive. It`s the best way.

The easiest way to learn any language bar non is by making a friend who is fluent in the language you want to learn and knows very little of your language (or will agree to speak mostly in their native tongue). I know of this from experience. I was fluent is Italian and had moderate French knowledge when I moved to Japan 5 years ago due to my husband being in the military. I knew not ONE word of Japanese. I bought books, Cd's, DVDs, PC programs etc and  learned close to nothing as Japanese is an EXTREMELY difficult language to learn. Then, once I made a Japanese friend who spoke close to NO English, I started picking up so fast it was unbelievable. I am now FLUENT in Japanese and it took all of 6 months. I could get myself around in about 1 month. Many people had recommended this to me and now tried and true I recommend it to you. There are a couple of ways to find friends for such as well. Finding language exchange partners on-line is easy or visiting local colleges culture clubs which most members are second language English generation. Good Luck on your endeavor!!

http://www.manythings.org/japanese/links/ has almost every good resource link for learning and practicing Japanese.\n\nYou can also buy books. I know Kodansha is a good company.\nhttp://www.sasugabooks.com/ has books you can buy (in Japanese but also instructional books for learning it). I found them to be fairly speedy deliverers when they have the books in stock and don't have to order from Japan.

Pimsleur Japanese is expensive but worth every penny-especially if you get it used or borrow a friend's copy. Trust me, I've been living in Japan for the past two years and it's been the most helpful tool for learning the language I've found yet. I also suggest checking out the Japan Times' Kanji Clinic archives-which suggests repeatedly a book entitled 2001 Kanji by Joseph De Roo (available only through the Bonjinsha website). Kanji Clinic is a good introduction to kanji and also funny. Jim Bream's WWWJDIC Word/Text translator http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?9T\nis also an invaluable resource. Good luck!

There are many many options, most of which can be found on the web, most of which claim to be the best, most of which are dreadful.\n\nI think rosettastone is probably the best right now, as far as reviews go...\n\nhttp://www2.rosettastone.com/en/offer/overture\n\nIt's a little pricey but they do include Japanese. The link above will bring you to the current special offer.

You can go to any Martial Arts store or look in most Black Belt magazines which will give you Nakamura's Katas of Shotokan, or Ken Funakoshi.\n\nThe best place is a JKA School or traditional Shotokan Dojo\nBooks and tapes are a poor way to learn only because there is no one with an expert eye to watch your mistakes and correct you or teach you the Bunkai (Application) of the form\n\nThere are still GREAT Senseis alive for you to study with like Nishiyama, Harada, Kanazawa, Ohshima, Kawanabe, etc\n\nGood luck and never give up.\nIt is a passion and way of life.

♡Yes! Take a look at these sites. I hope this helps you and good luck learning Japanese! IF you do have a chance though, try to find a Japanese speaking class, the correct pronunciation is very important.♡\nhttp://www.harapan.co.jp/english/japan/hiragana.htm\nhttp://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html\nhttp://www.learn-japanese.info/\nhttp://www.learn-japanese.net/webpages/1/\nhttp://www.japanippon.com/japanese/classroom.htm\nhttp://www.kanachart.com/\nhttp://home.inter.net/kenbutler/cyber.html\nhttp://www.ajalt.org/sj/\nhttp://kana.gerke-preussner.de/\nhttp://www.japaneselearning.com/index.php?option=content&task=category&sectionid=2&id=8&Itemid=27\nhttp://users.tmok.com/~tumble/qadgtj.html\nhttp://www.sharedtalk.com/

It isn't free, but you get access to pretty much anything you'd want, plus shows and teacher help. \n\nA few free sites that I like are:\n\nhttp://www.ajalt.org/sj/\n\nhttp://www.thejapanesepage.com/\n\nhttp://www.learn-japanese.info/\n\nhttp://kana.gerke-preussner.de/\n\nhttp://www.nhk.or.jp/lesson/\n\nhttp://www.freejapaneselessons.com/\n\nhttp://www.yookoso.com/\n\nhttp://www.sharedtalk.com/\n\nhttp://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/nihongo/contents.html
