When most people think of studying a new language, they think of years and years of hard work with very minimal results.
Most people consider the time it will take them to reach a conversation state, decide it’s impossible and give up.
That's too bad because everyone can learn basic Japanese.
As with most languages, it is only a small percentage of the words that are used for communication in daily life situations.

Free lessons in Japanese
and concentrate on learning a
Japanese word list,
so you can understand what’s going on in a Tokyo restaurant, what locals are saying when they point the way to you, and the Basics in shops and Museums.
Most of your communication here will be on basic subjects – shopping, Tokyo Restaurants and asking for directions in the street.
If you learn the right
Japanese word list,
and concentrate on vocabulary and not on grammar, you can actually start to communicate very fast. This will motivate you to continue learning.
I have gone through dozens of 'English to Japanese' books to create these free Japanese lessons on my site.
Most of these books are based on words and phrases that you don’t really need to know. Most books also focus on learning grammar. This is great for someone who wants to learn proper Japanese, but it's unnecessary for someone who wants to talk to the locals about things to do in Tokyo.
TV, movies and Magazines can actually be your best free Japanese lessons about
common Japanese words.
In addition to the words listed here, I highly recommend that you study the free Japanese lessons on
Japanese numbers.
That will help you communicate anytime money is involved.
