Why Learning Japanese Is Much Easier Than You Think. Japanese from scratch

みなさんこんにちは。(MINASAN KONNICHIWA)! Good afternoon everyone!

Two words about me, I wrote earlier that six months ago I began to study on my own Japanese using the Minna no Nihongo textbook and the NHK WORLD website, now I continue, or rather do not continue, and like-minded people and I learn Japanese from scratch in courses with a native speaker. I think a lot of people are asking:

The first two paragraphs, although similar in sound, have different meanings.

Each of us has a reason why we wanted to learn Japanese. I'm not mistaken that the vast majority of guys who started learning nihongo ( に ほんご) started with anime, a very good and pleasant reason to start on the difficult path of mastering the language. But just as it's easy to watch anime, it's just as easy to drop out of school. That is, this good reason, but only the most patient and persistent anime lovers will be able to learn a language just to watch their favorite anime or read manga in the original.

The love of anime for many develops into an interest in Japan and the desire to travel to the Land of the Rising Sun, and even better, or work there. This desire gives rise to great motivation to learn the language. Therefore, if there is such a desire or such an opportunity, then Japanese will be easy to learn.

To summarize: in order to start learning a language, you need to find an interest related to Japan: anime, manga, a desire to study in Japan or work. Finding a favorite among Japanese actors is possible politicians so interesting to you that you want to read information about them or listen (watch) in Japanese. It is also possible to get carried away with traditional ones, such as calligraphy, ekibana, bonsai, origami. All of these interests can be a step towards learning Japanese. In general, you can learn a language just like that and without a goal, but it sounds implausible.

How to start learning a language

It is most correct to immediately learn the Japanese alphabet, or rather the syllabic alphabet and. It is recommended to learn Japanese not with words, but with phrases. Japanese has a lot of typical phrases that are used in polite speech. That is, if you learn the form of acquaintance, greeting, first acquaintance with colleagues, then with 100% probability this is exactly what the Japanese themselves say. At first I did not believe that the language should be taught in phrases, so imagine if you could learn the Russian language only in phrases, what would happen? Because our language is multifaceted and unpredictable. Japanese spoken is also a very lively and interesting language, but the polite style is strictly regulated.

But still, to learn phrases, it’s better to have a small vocabulary the most common words to know. It is also easier to learn a language with phrases because in Japanese the sequence of words in a sentence (noun, verb, defined word, etc.) is fundamentally different from the Russian language. Having learned individual words it will be very difficult to compose them into a sentence.

To learn the language you need to purchase:

• a block of opaque paper 9 x 9, these will be training cards. On the one hand, it will be necessary to write down the symbols of the alphabet, words in hiragana (katakana), phrases, and on the other hand, the Russian translation. With such cards, you can learn a language anywhere, in your spare time. And checking your knowledge with cards is easier and more convenient than in a textbook.
• a simple marking pencil B - soft or HB - hard-soft (you cannot use a pen, an automatic pencil too) and an eraser
• checkered notebook
• textbook, according to which you will learn the language, I wrote about it

How difficult is it to learn Japanese

We must think soberly - learning Japanese is difficult, but possible. Basically, everyone merges when it comes to kanji, even sensei's caring hand does not help. But in any language there is a system, not chaotic memorization, and you need to gather all your will into a fist and continue learning.

P.s. Having studied the first 50 kanji (hieroglyphs), I didn’t see this system, it’s just difficult to memorize, since you have to constantly repeat the material covered. And the point is not even in memorizing the kanji, but in how it is pronounced in a particular word, that is, in fact, you need to memorize all the words. Asking what is the secret of remembering knowledgeable people, I was told - you just need to memorize the first 300, and then the system will be clear. Well ... let's cram.

And what about those who have already learned Japanese?

The pronunciation of words in Japanese is easy, since the set of sounds in Russian and Japanese is the same with some subtleties. At first, training takes place entirely with the help of hiragana (katakana), and since in Japanese words are both pronounced and written, there should be no problems in writing and memorizing words (phrases).

Grammar in Japanese is not very complicated, but it also has its own characteristics, there are certain exceptions to the rules, but not in droves. As in any language, success will only be in the case of working on the language and preferably daily. You can learn a language on your own, but how well you learn it is a moot point. Still, there should be teacher control.

Frame from the movie: Japanese, which the Japanese do not know

How much do you need to learn a language

Everyone has their own pace of language learning. Offline courses involve three years of study (half a year for each course). It's not fast and slow pace learning. During this time, you can learn all the skills: speaking, listening, reading, writing. Training for a period of three years does not mean that knowledge is 100% obtained. It is more correct to say that during this time the student will acquire basic skills and in the future will be able to independently continue his improvement of the language. Learning a language in a year or two, outside of Japan, is unlikely.

What are the main words to learn

To learn a language more effectively, you first need to learn:

1. basic verbs
2. if the training will take place in the courses, then grammar words to understand the teacher's speech
3. time expression
4. and probably that surround a person, for example: friend, car, tree, sky, house and
5. for practice, you can learn, written in kanji, hiragana, transcription and translation into Russian

To consolidate your knowledge of the Japanese language, use online service Duolingo, I wrote about it in an article. Classes on this resource are offered absolutely free of charge, I recommend.

By the way, why are you learning Japanese? Was it easy to learn? And do you think it is possible to independently learn the language at a decent level?

For self-study languages ​​you may need:

A set of 333 cards, the words are spelled out in hieroglyphs, syllabary (hiragana/katakana) and romaji

Notebook for writing hieroglyphs, paperback, number of pages 32.

Various Japanese textbooks for beginners can be found here.

Learning any foreign language "for yourself" will not bring any results, except for disappointment. This rule applies especially to Japanese. A clear understanding of the specifics of your goals is the basis for building an effective training plan.

Tourism, obtaining a unique education, international business development, passion for traditional and modern Japanese art, professional immigration - whatever you choose, this will be your main motivation and driving force for immersion in Japanese.

Setting specific deadlines will help set reference points throughout the training. For example, your goal is to pass the Nihongo noryoku shiken Japanese Language Proficiency Exam at the Beginning Level (N5) in eight months. The list of words, hieroglyphs and grammar required for the exam can be viewed in advance on the relevant sites and compiled step by step plan for the entire period of study.

2. Structure your learning material

Select a few proven textbooks and print out the copybooks. This will form the basis of your learning. In parallel, you can use the online simulator to test your knowledge. One of the most popular and effective is the Japanese textbook Minna no Nihongo: Basic Workbook in two parts, which is best taken immediately with a grammar commentary and additional teaching materials.

If you are fluent in English, you can use time-tested and thousands of students textbooks, workbooks and audio materials from the GENKI series. From Russian publications, one can advise the “Japanese Language Textbook for Children” in two parts by the author M. R. Golomidova - a well-known Russian specialist in the field of Japanese. The textbook will be an excellent educational tool for adults.

3. Start simple

The Japanese writing system consists of two syllabaries (hiragana and katakana) and kanji (hieroglyphs). First you need to master both alphabets, where each of the 46 characters means not a sound, but a syllable. And only after that move on to kanji. Try to study symbols and hieroglyphs not separately, but in the context of words and sentences.

The basic set of knowledge is very clearly spelled out in the requirements for the fifth level of the international exam in Japanese. For a beginner, this can be a great guide.

When moving on to the study of kanji, you should pay attention to the so-called keys, from which, like from Lego cubes, you can compose and memorize quite complex Japanese characters. Don't forget that your successful learning last but not least depends on constant written practice. To do this, you can download and print ready-made recipes. Work on pronunciation better by reading aloud.

4. Practice Japanese Regularly and Variedly

Despite the logic of this point, many people forget about it over time. Undoubtedly, with constant employment, it is really difficult to allocate several hours a day for learning a language, but 20 minutes is quite real!

Diversify your weekly schedule, for example:

• Monday, Thursday - theoretical lessons on the textbook;
• Tuesday - reading your favorite manga in the original or information from Japanese Internet resources;
• Wednesday - work with prescriptions;
• Friday, Saturday - watching interesting videos;
• Sunday - communication with native speakers.

Daily study of Japanese, if it is a pleasure, will bring tangible results very, very soon!

5. Use proven kanji memorization techniques

There are several original tools for memorizing hieroglyphs.

Card Method

Cut out the required number of cards from thick paper, on one side indicate the symbol or hieroglyph being studied, on the other - the corresponding value. This will help not only in learning, but also in testing your knowledge. By the way, you can buy ready-made sets of cards.

Irecommend.ru

association method

Memorization is the best fit for the Japanese language. When learning kanji, it is often difficult to remember the spelling of a character and its meaning. To solve this problem, for each hieroglyph, invent your own image! For example:

• 木 (tree) really looks like a tree;
• 森 (forest) - but three trees turn into a real forest;
• 火 (fire) - a little imagination, and you are already warming your hands by the fire near the mountain (山).

So you can effectively memorize several hieroglyphs at once.

Word replacement method

For this you need a great computer program called "Cananization" (from the Japanese word "kana" - the alphabet). The program replaces syllables in any Russian-language text copied into it with signs of Japanese alphabets.

There is a Japanese belief.

Skあzka, easier to sayおrya:

Withおtookい onceあwait the beastい

Choose い to fight with えbe the king!

Using this program will help you easily memorize Japanese characters.

Perhaps the most important rule for learning Japanese (and not only) is self-confidence and focus on results. Don't believe that Japanese is impossible to learn. Foreigners say the same about the Russian language. But how did we learn it? Good luck to you, patience and the fulfillment of the Japanese dream!

Many people would like to learn Japanese but don't know where to start. Therefore, I give my own instructions based on my experience. First, a brief instruction will be given, giving only the names of the items and a minimum of information, and then a complete instruction.

2. Learn katakana.
3. Turn on the Japanese layout.
4. Watch anime, Japanese movies or dramas for at least 20-40 hours (with Russian subtitles).
5. Read the entire grammar book at this link. This is a very simple and clear textbook, the most best allowance for beginners who are not familiar with Japanese at all. This point is the most important.
6. Install the Rikaichan add-on - it's very good dictionary, which allows you to hover the pointer on any site right word, the addition itself will find the end of this word and give its translation in the dictionary and say what form this word is in.
7. Start using dictionaries.
8. Learn kanji. The 100 most popular kanji allow you to read 39% of the kanji in the text, 200 - 54%, 400 - 72%, 600 - 82%, 800 - 89%, 1000 - 93%, 1200 - 96%, 1400 - 98%, 1600 - 99 %.

10. This item is described in complete instructions below.

Complete Instructions for Learning Japanese

Introduction - Japanese Writing

When is kana used and when are hieroglyphs

1. All particles.
2. All changing parts of words (and sometimes not changing).
3. Some words.

1. All foreign words.

1. All basic words.

1. Learn Hiragana

1. If you add small ゃ (ya), ゅ (yu), ょ (yo) to syllables ending in "i", you can make a syllable ending in i / yu / yo. For example, きゃ is "kya", but きや is kiya, because in the second case や is big. Your tablet should contain columns with syllables ending in i / u / ё.
2. If you add two sticks, you can voice a consonant, for example, か is ka, が is ga. Your plate should contain lines starting with "g", "z", "d", "b", "p".
3. う (y) after "o" denotes a long vowel. For example, the word ありがとう (arigatou) reads "arigato:", where the colon indicates the length of the vowel. When writing in Latin, it is allowed to write arigatō instead of arigatou (the stick on top is a macron), but it is better to write arigatou. When writing in Russian letters, longitude is not shown and they simply write "arigato".
4. aa, ii, uu, ee are also long vowels, for example かわいい (kawaii) reads "ka-wa-i:".
5. You can see how to pronounce sounds in this video.
   1. The syllables し (shi), しゃ (sha), しゅ (shu), しょ (sho) use the soft sh sound. There is no such sound in Russian. That is, it is correct to say not "sha", but "shya".
   2. The syllables じ (ji), じゃ (ja), じゅ (ju) じょ (jo) use the soft j sound. There is no such sound in Russian. That is, it is correct to say not "zha", but "zhya". Examples: じゃない - jyanai, 大丈夫 - daijo:bu.
   3. In the syllables ち (chi), ちゃ (cha), ちゅ (chu), ちょ (cho), the "ch" sound is softer than in Russian. That is, it is correct to say not "cha", but "cha". You don't have to try it yet, but in the future, to make the sound "ch" softer, pay attention to how it happens with other sounds in Russian (for example, ta-tya, na-nya, ka-kya).
   4. The sound わ (wa) is not labial-tooth, but labial-labial. To pronounce it, try to pronounce it as close as possible to the usual Russian "va", but passing air through the gap between the two lips, and not between the lip and the teeth.
   5. ざ、ず、ぜ、ぞ - at the beginning of words it looks more like "dz", in the middle it looks like "z".
   6. じ、じゃ、じゅ、じょ - at the beginning of words it is more like "j", in the middle it is more like "zh".
   7. Other sounds different from the Russian language are "u" and "e", but for them I have no description. I think while you can not bother with it, in the future understanding will come by itself.
6. Small っ (tsu) is sokuon, which means doubling the leading consonant, for example, ずっと is jutto. In pronunciation, if broken down into syllables, っ would refer to the syllable ahead: zu-tto. There is even a word in Japanese that begins with sokuon - って (tte).
7. ん before "p", "b" and "m" is pronounced like "m".
8. You may also find general rules stroke order in the General Guide, but there are many exceptions to the rules.

2. Learn Katakana

1. There is an informal katakana table compiled by myself. It is not worth learning katakana from it, this table can only help you understand how some combinations in katakana are composed.
2. In katakana, a long vowel is shown with a ー, such as デート. Doubling a consonant is also done with a small tsu, but in katakana: ッ.

3. Turn on the Japanese keyboard

1. On Windows, the Japanese layout has an English layout built into it, so you can disable the English layout. To switch between Latin and Kana, press Alt+~ (Alt+Ё).
2. Ctrl+Caps Lock - Hiragana.
3. Alt + Caps Lock - katakana.
4. F7 - convert the entered word to katakana.
5. "x" or "l" before the required character will make that character small.
6. In the settings, you can also make hiragana without Latin characters printed right away, but for this you need to have a Japanese keyboard on which hiragana characters are drawn, and since you do not have it, this method will not work for you.
7. On phones, the method described above will still suit you, because phones have a touch keyboard.
8. Other combinations are possible.

4. Watch anime, Japanese movies or dramas for at least 20-40 hours (with Russian subtitles)

5. Read the whole grammar book from this link

6. Install the Rikaichan add-on

7. Start using dictionaries

1. Yarxi - installed on almost all platforms, a very powerful dictionary, but with a complicated interface. There is also an online version.
2. Those who do not have the opportunity to install Rikaichan, which contains two Japanese-Russian dictionaries at once, can use the online version of one of them + you can download it in its entirety there.
3. The list is not finished.

8. Learning Kanji

• If there is no desire to learn, I advise you to learn 1 part of kyoiku kanji (80 pcs) + 170 most popular kanji (250 kanji in total). This will allow you to read 58% of all kanji in the text! (do not read 42%).
• If there is a desire, but not very big, then 1 part and 420 most popular (500 in total) - this will allow you to read 77% of the kanji in the text (not read 23%).
• If there is a strong desire, then 1 part and 920 most popular (1000 in total) - this will allow you to read 93% of the kanji in the text (not read 7%), and 2000 kanji will allow you to read everything.

9. Watch another 50-100 hours of anime/movies/doramas with Russian subtitles

10. Last point

1. To replenish vocabulary, you can use.
2. You can look for other grammar books. I think that after you complete the previous points, this question will no longer seem so difficult for you. Personally, I have not yet reached this point, so I cannot recommend any particular tutorial. The instructions will be updated. Don't learn from "Minna no Hihongo" - this tutorial is meant to be taught with a teacher, not on your own.
3. You can read manga in pure Japanese. There is a manga that has hiragana reading above the hieroglyphs, i.e. to read such a manga, you do not need to know all the kanji. When reading manga, no one rushes you, if you don’t know some words, you can look them up in the dictionary.
4. You can watch anime WITHOUT subtitles. In the previous paragraphs, I advised you to watch with subtitles, because You just got acquainted with the Japanese language and without them it is impossible to understand anything, but over time, subtitles, on the contrary, begin to interfere - instead of listening to Japanese speech, you stupidly take the meaning from text on the screen without learning the language.
5. Start chatting with the Japanese. Ask them to correct your mistakes.
6. Start reading the light novel.
