RE: Learning Japanese #1: Planning and Ranting
LOL!! Someone else has the same philosophy I do, if you are going to learn a language, first learn how to read and write in it.
Phonetics of the spoken language is a lot easier learn if you already know the nuts & bolts of a language.
Good to hear from you again. I think it's important to know what's going on with a language when you're learning it as an adult. Osmosis is fine when you're a kid, but they learn the other stuff in school. As an adult you kind of have to bridge that gap somehow, and I don't think that merely talking with people in a foreign language until you can have a basic conversation is the most effective way.
