    Default Learning new languages/vocabulary.

    What's the fastest way to learn vocabulary in general?

    I've tried writing down and saying the word out loud along with it, but that's pretty tedious and takes fairly long to actually getting to know the language.
    I also know practice is a good way to learn more than vocabulary alone, although that's fairly impossible for me seeing I'm the only one actively studying Japanese in my community. :/

    That being said, I know from a friend that studied Chinese most words/Kanji can be learned from simple stories. It'd be a great method if it weren't for the fact I'm not advanced enough yet.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Read books. There is no other way really. Besides just memorizing every single word from a dictionary.

    Learn the alphabet first. Before you even learn any of the words. Get the alphabet down, every syllable and sound, and you'll have a MUCH easier time learning the actual language.

    I'm already fairly fluent in Hiragana and Katakana, so that's not such a big issue for me. o.o

    Guess I should order some books for children and start reading them. lol
