I think the whole Duolingo way of learning a new language is infant. You can learn a few words, phrases and grammer but as soon as you get exposed to it in daily situations you wont be able to comprehend anything.

Any suggestions on a program better than Duolingo?

Thinking of picking up my Japanese again. I did 10 weeks of it last year and got 2/3 alphabets down but the kanji is another story

My Mrs is half Japanese so we thinking when our contract of our lease is up to spend maybe up to a year out there.

So I am going to start swatting up again and try and get decent level to maybe have basic interaction and to teach English or do my IT there

I was gonna ask why you didn't get your wife to help you out with learning and then I remember trying to learn Spanish with an ex.

I'm looking for a tutor and some classes right now for Japanese. The hiragana had me confused but imma get it this time around.

Sounds like I'll be seeing her in Japan before she comes back though.

I'm having a lot of fun learning Japanese.

A great resource for native learning is radio Garden. Radio stations all over the globe are searchable by country. Will help with speed and understanding.
