When most people think of studying a new language, they think of years and years of hard work with very minimal results.

Most people over estimate the time it will take them to reach a conversation mode, 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.

A Japanese word list will help you ask for directions at the subway station, understand what’s going on in Tokyo Disneyland, and perhaps even exchange a few words with locals at the bar or the restaurant in the evening.

Most of your communication in Japan will be on basic subjects – shopping, the menu at Restaurants and asking for directions in the street.

If you learn the following 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.

One cute little gadget which has helped me a lot breaking into Japanese language is the Franklin translator. Easy to operate and so tiny you can put it in your shirt pocket.

TV, movies and Magazines can actually be your best free Japanese lessons about common Japanese words.
