Ask HN: Best Resources to Learn Japanese?
2 by simonebrunozzi | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I have decided to learn some basic Japanese, but I am a bit frustrated by the material you can find online; most things leave room for interpretation (e.g. Hiragana, one textbook starts with 46 characters, then add others; another mentions 62, and I'm not sure where the 16 left come from.). I guess, being an engineer, I prefer a specific approach to learning a language. I also tend to hate the stupid online apps that pretend you are as smart as a snail and take forever to teach you anything, plus their freemium model means you are constantly spammed to sign up for the paid version. Have you been successful at learning Japanese? If so, any good suggestion?
