How are you supposed to read books and stuff when you understand absolutely nothing

“Do get a feel for grammar, do read about grammar if you feel like it, but learning grammar rules in order to use a language is like learning quantum physics in order to drive a car.”

This might be the most sensible thing ever written about language learning in the history of the world. It should be painted on walls and broadcast from buses. And I say this as linguist and lover of grammar books.

The new service DuoLingo (duolingo.com/) basically follows this model but has a great interface and makes it engaging with points and levels. It also includes a translation exercise that is used as a real translation, which allows them to keep t…

This may come off strange, but when I discovered this site..man…I actually felt something in my chest. I guess it was excitement or maybe relief but damn, talk about mind blowing. Ive been attacking my studies in a very structured way and by studying the balls of the rules of Japanese, I’ve gotten pretty damn far, but I have the dry spells when I dont speak, and its not as crazy sexy cool as it once was and I guess i get rusty because the rules are just fine, but the actual usage gathers dust on the shelf. Now I think I think I;ve found what I need to get to the next level. I’m goin hard from now. Im going Jake Sulley style native…letting my body do the work and just f-ing around with it. I’ve evacuated the notion of impressing people and now Im just gonna get back to having fun. I guess the short of it is that Im thankful for the site becuase it legitamely saved my life as a l2 learner. The biggest of ups to Khatz.

There are shared decks on anki that follow the order of RTK and some have stories in them. If you don’t like the stories of particular cards you can always change them.
The one I personally used was the Lazy Kanji Mod V2 by Kendo.
The lazy book-free method. ^^ I’ll admit, it would probably be better if you came up with your own stories and made them as memorable as possible, and that I had to change a few of the stories to work for me, but I found it to be pretty decent overall.

Hello , I’m really grateful to you for everything that you’ve shared with us ,but there’s one big problem I’m having here .My location doesn’t allow me to buy any of the books you mentioned, so I’m currently stuck and I’m only able to learn Hiragana and Katakana. As for remembering the Kanji , I still haven’t found an effective way other than those books you recommended , which I can’t buy .I wouldn’t mind buying them even if they were expensive , problem is , I can’t . :S So if you or anyone else would be awfully kind and inform me of another,”book-free” technique , I would be extra delighted !!

Hey Kahtz, I’ve read quite a few of your entries now and I’m starting the learning process. So, basically what I do is immerse myself in Japanese, but in between watching/listening to things with Japanese dialogue and reading Japanese material, I read the book “Remembering the Kanji” and I associate each kanji character with an English word?

This single article has basically transformed the way I learn Japanese — and I first read it over a year ago!

Now I’ve started creating my own website to help people in my area stay motivated and enjoy the process. Thanks for being so inspiring and sharing your ideas Khatz!

[…] I know I’ve wittered on ad nauseum about how wonderful and intuitive Chinese characters are – and actually, I still think it’s true. They can give a reader hints as to the meaning of unfamiliar words in a logical, reasonably consistent way. I’d still recommend any student of Mandarin to learn the writing of the characters before tackling the rest of the language, as per AJATT’s specification. […]

[…] I found a good answer or at least a better answer than the method I currently use. Last week I found the website, Korean {as it is}. James Devereux, the blogger referenced this man, Khatzumoto as an inspiration to his study methods. I visited Khatzumoto’s site and immediately became more inspired. Buried in the blog postings is a method, one that certainly makes sense and one that I decided I would adopt as of last week (10/8/09). It’s not Rosetta Stone, or Pimsleur, and it’s not a textbook, it’s this. […]
