Hi There Self Taught!!!

I'm self taught, I learned through audio language tapes/CD's, but learned very little from them, the rest and most of what I've learned is from Japanese movies, anime, and music. Gakuto-sama FTW!

Maybe you can get it on Rosetta Stone and that might help I'm thinking about doing that ^^....Hey did you draw that comic pic....It's really good!!

No, it comes from a doujinshii site I like. I wish I could draw like that, if I could, I would be a published American manga artist by now I would hope.
And well, whenever I can pay for something like that, I would like to do that. ^-^;

I'm self-taught and I use "My Japanese Coach" which is a game on the Nintendo DS designed to help you learn how to speak and write Japanese.  

[iiYumi-Chanx3]

Never trust Rosseta Stone crap. My cousin has it. Doesn't help her with Japanese at all. I was taught in school. (I live in Kyoto, Japan. >:3)

On My opinion Japanese Learner should try read book such as
Momotaro And Oni Island  

[Sekushi-Hige]

I am self-taught. I'm using japanesepod101.com. It's the best thing I've found so far.

[Levi Antonia]

I went to www.japanesepod101.com when I first started learning Japanese, And I still go there now, It's great!  

[Kisorami]

i am self taught, from the internet, a little anime (even though quite a lot of Japanese in anime wouldnt be the best to use if you arent talking with people you know well, meaning its not formal) and i use My Japanese Coach for the DS. the Japanese coach is very helpful; i have learned all of the hiragana and katakana, and am in the process of learning the kanji, from it.  

[Toki Zensekai]

I'm a self learner myself. I lived in Japan for 2 years, so you certainly get some hands-on craziness there, but I've relied on a couple of things:

1. Dictionary of Basic (And Intermediate) Japanese Grammar by Seiichi Makino and Michio Tsutsui. These two books are immensely helpful for learning Japan's confusion language structure.

2. An electronic dictionary. Obvious enough for learning the vocab. I find Canon to be the best brand for Electronic JPN/ENG dictionaries.

3. JUST SPEAK THE LANGUAGE! Don't be afraid to make mistakes-- You learn from it! scream
