What is the best method to learn japanese?

9
I can speak about 5 percent of the langauge. I really do not want to learn to write in Japanese cause that will take forever and I don’t have much time. I am going to a japanese college and I need to learn this thing in 3 years. I am learning to write in korean and it is much easier than Japanese kanji but do you think they would accept a foreigner who knows how to write in korean, but not japanese?

No they will not. It NEEDS to be Japanese.
Look if you don’t believe me I am from Japan!

Colleges in Japan usually have exams in written Japanese, so it’s a good idea learn how to write. You usually need to pass a Japanese language exam that’s also written, so your plan on going to a Japanese college might be dependent on you learning to write.

There’s no use for Korean in Japan, so it won’t help you.

Total immersion tends to be a good way to learn to speak a language.

You really need class to learn reading and writing.

Korean will be of zero value in Japan. Koreans born in Japan don’t even get citizenship.That’s what they think of Koreans. Learning how to speak Japanese and write in Korean makes no sense at all.
The “best” way to learn any language is having a friend who is a native speaker.

I fail to see how you can attend college in any country without speaking AND writing the dominant language. You’re going to have to write papers, and unless you take nothing but Korean courses you’re going to have to learn how to write in Japanese. Not to mention that Korean uses kanji too (though obviously the name is different). I mean, think about it, would a school where the dominant language was English accept a foreigner who could speak English but only write in Spanish? I don’t think so. You need to learn to write Japanese. If you have access to formal classes and tutoring, I suggest you start taking advantage of those ASAP, and set aside a lot of time in your day to practice speaking, reading, and writing Japanese.

The best way is that to research Japanese with a transulator from English! Or, you could ask a friend who is good at Japanese, and ask them to help you with your English!

Good luck with your Japanese!

P.S
Hope it helped… And I think they would accept you!
