Wanna learn jap but don't have motivation to start?

I'm just sharing the method that really gave me the motivation to get off my ass and start studying Japanese.
I've always wanted to learn it, but just looking at the hiraganas in the online tutorials was just plain boring. But recently I found a "teacher" that got me to start working on this. And he is Namasensei.

He has video classes, home-made by him, in youtube. Just watch 5 minutes of it and you'll know why he's so motivational.


ps: I learned Hiragana fairly quick with his lessons. Took me some weeks, but it couldve taken less if I practiced a little bit.

Well, good luck if you plan to use this to finally start studying! :)


edit: Lawl.


edit2: Namasensei will now start teaching kanji.

edit3 (28/07/2011): Namasensei has stopped making these videos. If you wish to continue studying vocabulary, I recommend getting Anki.
When installed, go to File > Download > Shared Deck... and download one of the Japanese Core decks (I've used smart.fm's core 2000 and it's awesome, but any should also be fine). Try doing it daily and you should be learning pretty fast.

Too much fucking and a whole bunch of bitches, imho. But it's somehow interesting.

he's f*cking FUNny !

I stopped watching after the pencil. "Fuck" and "bitch" and repeat.

thanks maybe I can pick some up too

choked on my apple while watching this.

Made me laugh a little, but he cusses too much.

Could lose 1 or 2 curses but is entertaining as hell

I fucking lol'd

Fucking excellent! Enjoyed that xD

CUNT???

I sure fucking hope he would just shut the fuck up with his fucking bitches and fucks all the fucking time.

I don't like this for a tutorial.

I don't know but he's stupid may be silly.....wait a moment he is jackass-sensei yeah but even donkey can do something better...and I think he ...ok forget that bun-head.

Why are so many of you picky about the cussing? It makes me laugh laugh my ass off. xD
It's very motivational for me, keeps me entertained and payin attention.

They can't handle the awesome!
(my post was for lulz BTW)

Despite the language that is a pretty sound teaching method. I imagine that is how must of us learned our vowels. Constant repetition!

Damn right.

Reminds me of when I was young and being taught the Spanish alphabet. Now there is some bullshit. There is no set standard for actually including ch, ll, ñ, and rr. So it just depends on who taught you.

Spanish and spanish teachers blows. Learn japanese with Namasensei. xD
