Well, not quite yet. I would like to learn spoken and written Japanese. What is the best way to do so aside from taking classes at a university? My first thought was Rosetta Stone; I've since read some opinions that RS is better for Romance and Germanic languages but not so great for Japanese. Since there is the added dimension of learning kanji and the kana alphabet, would it be better to learn to read and write from books and to speak and listen from software? Any books, online courses, or programs you recommend and have had success with?
