I heard that the Rosetta Stone series is effective in romance languages like French and Spanish, but it lacked a bit when it came to Japanese. And I also heard it only covers the Romanji spelling.

I would like to learn how to read AND speak it.

I heard another user talk about Auralog’s TeLL Me More learning software and wondered what other people thought of it. Does it teach you how to read it?

My parents aren’t for this, and I’m very very busy and my high school doesn’t offer it. But I’m convinced that if I think a language is beautiful enough, I should learn it.

I’ll watch unsubbed anime to help me out and try to get links to Japanese magazines. Does anyone know anything else that can help me learn Japanese? Thanks!!
