I have a friend who speaks Japanese and I would like to learn the language with no prior experience. What commercial teaching approach would you consider the best? Pimsleur, Phonics, or something else?

  • Good on you for wanting to learn Japanese, and thanks for joining Japanese Language and Usage. Unfortunately, this question is off-topic, for reasons explained here. There's a post on the meta site on resources for learning Japanese, and you can discuss learning techniques, and anything else within reason, in the chat room, even though it's off-topic here. Feel free to ask other questions on the Japanese Language and Usage web site in the future. Ganbatte! (Don't give up!) – Golden Cuy Jul 18 '12 at 12:15
  • I upvoted this question to help get you the required 20 reputation to use chat. (But it's off-topic). – Golden Cuy Jul 18 '12 at 12:24

    -1 to counteract the misused upvote. Not that the question is particularly bad. –  Jul 18 '12 at 12:26
  • Sawa, I refer to other knowledgeable commenters here, and not to observers. Andrew Grimm, many thanks, I will return. – Michael K. Jul 18 '12 at 14:21

    "et al.," is unnecessary as it is a salutation. It would have been edited and removed. – Chris Jul 18 '12 at 14:59

    careful, phonics is something very easy to get hooked on. – taylor Jul 19 '12 at 00:45

    @sawa, by downvoting just for the sake of counteracting, you have also misused the downvote. You should have flagged the comment instead. – Dingredient Aug 14 '13 at 07:37
