How did you learn Japanese? - ppminhphung - 2009-09-09
@kittycate44:
I'm sorry, but I don't found it's interesting at all. When I watched a Japanese Drama, I tried to follow and concentrate on what happened on it. But what do you know, I fell bored, super-bored. And I can't help quitting, I'm sorry again.
Now, I have some questions wanting to ask you, if u don't mind:
♦ 1. Is it a "complete waste of time" if you don't understand what u r watching and hearing or listening?
Nukemarine found exactly what I found:
"I found putting my environment in Japanese didn't help until I began to understand what was around me. So maybe early on post up a Kanji poster (RTK phase), beginner sentences you used in SRS (grammar and vocab phase), then full on scripts (mining/disection phase) all over your walls. The audio I found watching a show once with subtitles then using the audio from then on in my iPod. Now, by completely figuring out a show, that hour of audio has really advanced my listening and speaking skills."
And If you don't forget, Input hypothesis of Krashen's is the same: understandable material.
♦ 2. I think it's very commanding for us to understand what going on on the TV, do you know AJ.Hoge (Director of Effortless English), he said: if you want to learn English (or a foreign language), you have to listen, and the first factor is: comprehensible, second: repetitive.
So, don't u think we will learn faster with subtitle, in target language, imo.
Sorry is was too long.
(ps. I can't find shows from my childhood dubbed in Japanese, if you have, or know where to get it [free] Please show me, thanks!)

ppminhphung Wrote:@Nii87Nii87 said he was an Australian born Vietnamese. Therefore I don't think he would've done anything to learn English, it just happens because you live here. I am right?
