How do beginners learn Japanese? Where can I learn?

1, cultivate interest

As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. If you want to learn a language, it is most important to cultivate your interest in learning. With interest, you will have the motivation to learn. After you have enough interest in learning Japanese (for example, watch more interesting cartoons and Japanese dramas to improve your interest in Japanese, because the dubbing in some cartoons is very dynamic, and I believe you will be impressed), the next study will be very easy and effective.

Step 2 Choose teaching materials

If you teach yourself Japanese, it is of course necessary to choose the teaching materials that suit you. Nowadays, there are many Japanese textbooks on the market. But the content is basically the same, including some elementary vocabulary, grammar, texts and conversation exercises. But it is important to take this book as an index and look at other books on grammar and sentence patterns, especially what examples are there. Don't read indiscriminately, but insist on reading, so as to ensure the integrity of the content. After learning a difficult textbook, it is best not to rush to learn the more difficult textbook, but to consolidate the use first; For example, going to forums, listening to songs and doing exercises, such as vocabulary or grammar, are best. With a certain foundation, you will feel that it is quite effective for the growth of vocabulary.

3. Learning skills and methods

What needs to be emphasized here is that language learning should not pay too much attention to skills and methods, while ignoring the learning content itself, thus affecting the learning effect.

4. pentaphone

In the initial stage, I first came into contact with the five-tone diagram. Hiragana and Chinese characters are slightly similar in cursive form. We can remember hiragana according to this feature. When learning five-tone pictures, you must remember hiragana and katakana. Many people have not known Katakana for a long time, and the memory of Katakana has always been a difficult problem for beginners. You can summarize some effective sentences and translate them into katakana according to hiragana. It may be difficult at first, but you will find this method very effective after you get familiar with it. At first, you can learn two lines every day. You can learn five elements on the first day. You can find a piece of paper and practice more. You can also make cards for easy memory. Pay attention to be able to match hiragana with katakana. Read while writing to deepen your impression. After learning a certain number of lines, you can find the words in the text and make up your own words to write. For example, "ぁたま" and "ぁなた", so as to be familiar with some words to be learned in the future while practicing writing pen names.

Step 5 pronounce

In the process of self-learning Japanese, pronunciation is an important task, which means whether you can understand Japanese and express yourself accurately in Japanese in the future. Japanese people talk with their mouths almost unchanged, and they talk a lot when they babble. When we speak Chinese, we often use the middle part of the tongue and the middle part of the mouth, while Japanese is the front part of the mouth, that is, the teeth. Therefore, we must practice repeatedly at the beginning, and the pronunciation and intonation must be very standard, otherwise once the habit is formed, it will be difficult to change. Japanese pronunciation charts and pronunciation videos are good learning tools. Of course, it is also a good way to find pronunciation skills in Chinese and gradually develop good Japanese habits.

Pay attention to the length of the tone and try to make the single and double tones clear. For Japanese self-learners, we should carefully find out the long sound, the accelerating sound and the short sound, compare their differences and find out the similarities and differences. For plucking, we should pay attention to the similarities and differences in pronunciation, and strive to master every detail to lay a good foundation for Japanese learning.

Pay attention to pronunciation. In the process of doing pronunciation exercises, you can practice repeatedly according to fake Chinese names, cultivate pronunciation skills circularly, practice pronunciation consciously, and also train long tones and dial tones, so that learners can enjoy learning Japanese in a slow and long space.

Finally, pay attention to the skills and learning methods of voiced sounds, so that there will be no more problems with Japanese pronunciation. In this link, we must clearly master the mnemonic writing method, cultivate Japanese learners' pronunciation ideas, and regard Japanese learning as fun.

6. Words

About memorizing words, we should avoid rote memorization. "Associative memory" means that words cannot be recited in isolation. For example, when reciting "Mountain", we should associate the words "Climbing Mountain" and "Mount Fuji" together, so as to quickly increase our vocabulary and avoid the embarrassment of saying only words without sentences.

In addition, when learning a new text, don't remember the words first, but read the text first, look at the word list when you meet the words you can't, and then continue reading. Basically, read the text 2 or 3 times and you will remember the words.

Step 7 listen

In fact, Japanese listening is the basis of spoken Japanese, and only by listening can you speak it. Listening is an important way to cultivate a sense of language. To learn a foreign language well, we should first pay attention to listening, otherwise we may only do problems and read articles for a long time, and become dumb Japanese. It is very important to use correct Japanese learning methods in Japanese listening practice.

The speed of listening and dictation has improved. You will find that the language sense is not closely cultivated, and those long and fast sentences can be written down quickly and accurately by yourself. So you can practice by yourself on tape or mp3 player, and take notes (including questions and answers) while listening. In the process of dictation, you will find your previous shortcomings in words and sentence patterns, and at the same time you can ensure the accuracy of your listening.

Another thing that trains listening is reaction speed. Similarly, you can take a tape and listen to Japanese quickly translated into Chinese, or listen to Chinese quickly translated into Japanese, which is called simultaneous interpretation. You may not be able to keep up with it at first, or you may not be able to turn it over, but if you stick to it, your listening response speed and thinking will be improved.

Practicing listening is a step-by-step process. During this process, you may not feel that you have improved, but you should be patient. One day, you will suddenly find that your listening has improved significantly.
