So this sucks...

I'm trying to learn japanese as I'm very interested in it. However, life seems to say otherwise. I want to get a minor in japanese and take a trip to japan, but I kinda need to know japanese before I go to japan.

The problem is this:

Japanese courses offered this semester: 1
Japanese courses offered during: 12:35 - 1:30.

A Course in my major offered this semester: 1
A Course in my major offered during: 12:35 - 2:35.

You have no clue how much this sucks... I've contacted my japanese teacher to see if she can create another time for her class. If she can't I'm going to freaking create a rally asking for it... cause if I miss this class, it'd mean I'd have to wait a 1 yr to take it again.

I'll be out of college by then!

I've been thinkin bout tryin one of those Rosetta stone programs for home learning. I've heard good things. Haven't picked a language but Japanese seem like a wise choice considering my joy for video games and anime

This...

But Im telling you, its worth every penney, especially if you need to learn a laungage in order to make money. My brother bought the Manderian and Traditional versions of Chinese. I learned basic chinese in a few days, and was able to communicate with the locals when I went over there.

Rossetta Stone is the shit...but it is pricey....I would recommend it for a quick learn

I've heard great things about Rosetta. I wasn't able to continue Chinese at UT because of all the conflicts, and only one class was offered for the level I was at. So I"m looking into getting the software just to keep up with it.
