Now, you've easily mastered 18 lessons. What next? New
and more lessons are obviously suggest themselves. However, to create
more lessons and make them as easy and as interesting as the studied
ones is a matter requiring a lot of effort and taking a lot of time.
Even this is not a problem. Japanese is so intriguing and captivating
that you wouldn't like (and, frankly, wouldn't want) it to be set
out here as you see other foreign languages presented. It turned
out to have too much to conceive and comprehend.
Besides, to study such a fascinating and unusual
language following artificial methods is the same as to study life
preparing dead frogs. That's why our Japanese Language Self Study
Guide offers you to plunge into the world of Japanese ideographs
in their native surroundings, I mean, directly in Japan and with
Japanese material. Just go to the new Express Lessons page (Russian
only).
Japanese is unique and peculiar. Unusual writing
is cunningly intertwined with peculiar vocabulary, grammar featuring
uncommon mathematical truth and numerous levels of refined courtesies.
With all this going on, the incredible linguistic bun is pinned
with Japanese history, culture and world view. You may ask what
to do next and which way to go.
We've decided to avoid conventional techniques and
try to present some language aspects, namely, kanji, in short and
easily understood educational sketches. Though the sketches were
ironically nicknamed as 'kanji essays,' they've been treated worthy
of interest by many Self Study Guide visitors.
Get to know our 'kanji essays' and your fear and
diffidence of hieroglyphs will disappear to make way for your passion
for them. First essays will strike you by the fact that actually
you've more or less known a lot of Japanese kanji. It's time to
face what you've been longing for, being hungry for witty food for
thought. For more information on our 'kanji essays' please go here.
Moreover, we think that learning of a language must go smoothly
and give pleasure, that's why we're developing a set of material
nicknamed 'Self Study Texts.' They will make you read plain Japanese
texts whether you be highly experienced in the language or without
any knowledge. The texts were prepared so that you read and understand
them at once, without learning or memorizing what was written. For
more information, go here (Russian only).
Another feature is 'Mnemonic Stories.' The idea to apply them to
Japanese and elaboration of material belongs to Vadim Smolensky,
one of the http://www.susi.ru/ site
authors. Serik Karimov presents you the method on the pages of our
Japanese Language Self Study Guide. You can see prepared mnemonic
trains here (Russian
only). |
