1. Concentrate on spoken Japanese initially

1. Concentrate on spoken Japanese to start with

Many starting to learn Japanese want to know whether they need to commence learning hiragana, katakana, and kanji, the three sets of scripts that comprise the Japanese written language, or whether they need to focus on the Japanese voiced language.

It is best to definitely focus on the Japanese spoken language when starting out. There are two really good reasons for this. First of all, the normal sequence of language learning is to obtain a grasp of the spoken language before learning to read and write.

Consider when you grew up you were no doubt quite fluent in your mother tongue before you began learning to read and write.

Secondly, if you have some elementary knowledge of the spoken language it will make it far easier to learn to read and write Japanese, or in fact any other language. Besides what is the point of learning the characters and the scripts if you have no clue what the words mean and no idea of the grammar used to form sentences?

You will make greater progress learning Japanese if you initially focus on the spoken language.

2. Voice Your Japanese Out Loud When Practicing

You should practice your Japanese by actually speaking your Japanese out loud.

Do not just read textbooks or listen to tapes and repeat the Japanese you read or hear in your head. This is a huge mistake. You must speak the Japanese you learn out loud.

Make sure you speak loudly and clearly, as you would if you were really talking to another person, so that you can learn to voice the correct pronunciation and really produce the language out loud.

3. Repetition Makes Perfect

Do not underestimate the importance of repetition. Practice the new Japanese that you learn regularly until you have it memorized and can do it effortlessly.

It might require that you repeat a Japanese dialogue, or sometimes small pieces of dialogues, 20 or 30 times or even more until you grasp them, but that's just fine. The most important point is that you shouldn't expect to master the Japanese you learn after hearing it and practicing it once or twice. In relation to learning Japanese, or any other language, repetition will really help
