Japanese Language Software

Japanese Language Software and what separates some of the better ones from those that are not so good.  Let's face it learning a language is a daunting task to begin with. It seems endless...

Just looking at the core of mastering the language by itself you have speaking, pronunciation,  reading, writing, hearing and language comprehension.  Sizable list isn't it?  Hey folks... just getting started. So what's actually involved? Glad you asked! Check this out... just for starters mind you...

•  Grammar and understanding word order and meaning
  
• Idiomatic,  honorific usage, polite and casual usages

Now since we are looking specifically at Japanese, the written language becomes another MASSIVE hurdle. So let's just add on:

• Not 1 but 3 alphabets - katakana, hiragana and kanji
• Then there are reading and writing skills that you need to work on
• Do  you know your targets? Who knows? So now you need review and consolidation units with integrated performance evaluation
  
• Testing units to measure comprehension levels
  
• And the grand daddy of them all PRONUNCIATION. After all if no one can understand what you're saying it doesn't matter how good your grammar is right?
  

I think you get the picture here. The complexity of the written language calls for one of two things. Either a language school or  Japanese language  software to tackle its complexity.Video is the bomb in terms of getting the point across quick. So here is a link that will run you through what this slick piece of software can do. And here is where

Japanese language  software really shines...

In our language learning tips page, we touched on a lot of down to earth approaches to learning languages with flash cards and how to build good study habits without much mention of Japanese language software for doing the heavy lifting.

All of these tips help but you, but most come to a point where you need help, where you hit a wall, feel overwhelmed and are ready to throw in the towel. Firstly, it's not unusual, it's a point in the learning process and man that bears repeating. It's a natural part of learning.

We are going to share with you the game changer, the big one. This doesn't apply just to using Japanese language software to attack the language but it applies to every single endeavor that any person undertakes. It's what separates winners from quitters and here they are: the big 4.

Decision - Why are you going to attack this monster of a language? And your answer had better not be that your bored cuz if it is, your dead in the water.

Reach deep inside and dig. Is it because you are fascinated with Japan? You love Japanese culture? Your dream is to marry a Japanese woman or man and being able to speak their native tongue is driving you? Do you want to teach English in Japan and you know that speaking the language will help you become a better teacher?

Everyone has a different reason but 1 factor is key to all of them. It must resonate deeply with you or it ain't worth xxxx. What makes this powerful is that your decision you arrive at is fueled by PURPOSE that deeply resonates in your gut.

Accountability - This I learned from Tony Robbins. Without decision there is no accountability. If you think you can do it tomorrow you have effectively removed accountability from the equation so you can just do it tomorrow.

That's right. Open a big-ass bag of chips, plop down, dig the remote out from under the cushion and put your brain on auto pilot. Why do it just once. Procrastinate the whole month. No strike that the whole damn year.  Or 10 years for that matter. Then look back and see where you are.

It's a fun and lively interesting way of learning that keeps you motivated. And with the tons of free lessons and free downloadable podcasts, you can't go wrong.
