Chapter 1.0:
As the most of you already know I am trying to learn japanese. My goal for the next time is to pass the JLPT N5 test. A nice user from Interpals gave me a helpful feedback regarding to this blog and said to me, that she would like me to write about my japanese learning process. So I think this is a great idea for a new main content of my blog. Sooo... first of all I try to give an explanation about the reason for my decision to walk this hard way of learning a so difficult language.

At the beginning there where the animes (of course - I think all people who try to learn japanese like animes and use them as a real helpful way to get some input). Later I bought my first Manga. I was so facinated by the fact of reading it from back to front. This was my personal first contact, that made me interested in japan, to such a different culture. So I begann to recherche about this country and its population.
Later then coocking started to be an importend thing in my life - so when I cook then always with heart :-)
The japanese kitchen is one of the most amazing thing in their culture. I think a lot of the cultural aspects are reflected in the way of Japanese cooking. When I decided to go there for woking a few years (~~ that is the plan ~~) it was certain for me to learn the language.
So I tried some different ways to begin learning and there where the frist finding I got - it is REALLY hard. Books were the badest way for me til now. They start always with 'at first you have to learn all Hiragana and Katakana'. I think this it kinda unrealistic because losing the interest is the result of stupid memorization of signs.
I read that a lot of guys learned a lot during watching animes with subtitles. But I was so concentrated on reading the subtitles that I don't listened to what they were talking. I thought a long time it would be really impossible for me to learn it. But now at the end of my engineering study I got back a heightened interest in japanese language because of the opportunity to work there. It seems now more realistic to me. So I took the study of it again and tried the software RosettaStone. It was fantastic. I never learned so much in a so short time.
I think here is a good point to end the first chapter. In the next one I will talk about my first stepps in learning with Rosetta Stone.
See you....
P.S. Thanks to daese_aaa from InterPals for the nice inspiration.
