Picture vocabulary building - Shirochan - 2015-03-01
There are lots of materials for passive learning, where they talk to you, show you kana/kanji for everything they say, and so on. Any movie/anime helps with this. However, if I don't want to hear any english EVER when learning japanese from the beginning, these materials usually don't give really enough visual cues to pick up the basic vocabulary even when the time is devoted imho (like, when children learn japanese naturally). What I'm asking for is some material for basic japanese, so I can understand at least a little bit of the easiest of these materials and build up from there.
Could anyone point me to some resources that teach the most basic japanese, but using no English, preferably no romaji either (I know hiragana already)? I think that this could be accomplished by a collection of pictures and how to say them in japanese (i.e. pic vocabulary), because the grammar (i.e. how the words are put together then) can be picked up easily enough from higher-level resources then.
For example, in the first part of
, when a new set of kana is shown, they present pictures of things and then say them and write corresponding kana. This is an excellent source of what I mean, just occasionally it's hard to tell which thing they mean.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

I don't really see any advantage of completely trying to ignore one's native language, but here is a picture dictionary I found with quite a decent amount of words: http://www.japanese-language.aiyori.org/index.html
The pictures only have japanese text written over them, and if you need further help, you can find the english in the bottom area underneath the pictures.
