Message: [QUOTE="Egg (McMuffin) Man, post: 78364, member: 212119"] The best way (and fastest way) to learn any language (including your native language) is through reading. Lots and lots of reading. Of course that reading could be anything from books to comics to RPGs or even eroge (the broader your variety of materials, the better). But the most important thing is reading, and how much time you invest into reading. Of course, if you don't know any Japanese (or whatever language you want to learn) than you're going to have to start small and work your way up. Start by memorizing lists of common vocabulary, buy a beginners textbook and learn basic grammar. And once you have finished that stuff, start reading some easy materials and work your way up. For example you could play Pokemon in Japanese, and any time you find a word you don't know just look it up and make a flash card. When you're first starting out you will find lots of words you don't know, but as time passes you will find that the number of words you have to look up decreases as your ability grows. Language learning is purely a matter of time investment, but thankfully that time will often be spent doing enjoyable things like playing games, reading books or watching TV. Stuff like textbooks is only to help you get started as a beginner, it hardly defines your journey in the long term. As for stuff like apps, there are some helpful ones but as was already said watch out for anything that requires a subscription. Stuff like Duolingo, Memrise, LingoDeer, etc. Their business relies on you not learning the language as that's how they earn money. But some stuff can be useful, for example paying for the Anki app on iOS (flash card app) is money well spent. I also like Bunpro, it's sort of like a digital grammar textbook. [/QUOTE]
