The best way to study Japanese is this.
"Come on and live in Japan"
Yeah, right, but we can't! right?





I recommend this 4-step learning method for people living outside Japan and monkeys.


STEP1. Listen
10 times. Listen very carefully. Listen to the pronunciation and intonation. At the same time, try to understand the sentence. That improves your hearing ability, and sets you ready for the next step


STEP2. Read
10 times. Read it in your head, and move your tongue and lips, but don't make sounds. You get used to read at native's speed


STEP3. Read
30 times. Read aloud at the same time with mp3. copy the pronunciation and intonation.


STEP4. Read
10 times. Read aloud without mp3. If you read smoothly, that means you are getting better!


Good luck!!
