Hello everyone! I have a quick question to pose to anyone who knows japanese or is in the process of learning it. I started recently trying to learn japanese through the rosetta stone program. So far i have only completed lesson 1 and the beginning of lesson 2.
It seems like a pretty good way to learn so far but i am a bit concerned with how non-focused it seems on the symbols. it might be too early in the program to judge but it's mostly teaching me how to hear and recognize words and sentences and how to say them but not so much on reading the symbols or teaching me them and how to write them. There was a small unit in lesson 1 the taught maybe 6 or so of the symbols and the syllables they stand for and i was so excited for this part but it wasn't reviewed later in the lesson and i think i only even remember 3 of them now and could not write them on my own only recognize them.
My question is does anyone who has gone through learning japanese know of any good resources or other ways i might go about in addition to rosetta stone to aid me in learning japanese? Specifically the reading and writing aspect of it?
Thanks i appreciate any advice.
