RE: Self-studying Japanese - Day #1
Hey,
I am also a non native Japanese speaker and learned it in University, currently living in Japan. I can recommend Genki 1 and Genki 2 to learn Japanese in self study, if you want to take a look into these two books. They cover the basics, have a main part with grammar and vocabulary and in the back a kanji part. There are also workbooks. Also a lot of explanations for self study. These books are published by the Genki academy in Japan, a famous language school. The books are quite expensive but for starters the best in my eyes, especially if you study by yourself. :)
Yeah, I've seen a lot of Genki recommendations on the web and in my circle of friends. I hope I will be able to move to japan someday too with a decent foundation of japanese!
Well I can just say, it's the best to know at least basic Japanese to live in Japan, especially if you want to live there for a longer time not just for holidays. :) So you do good if you learn some Japanese! And never give up, everything is possible if you really want it :)
