Japanese Learning Tips
- Japanese is written with no spaces between words.
- Learning to read hiragana and katakana is simplified by the fact that each character generally corresponds to a single syllable.
- Japanese words change depending on the formality of the situation. Rosetta Stone teaches you to communicate in informal or formal Japanese, as appropriate for the situation.
- Don’t be surprised if you see sentences without subjects. The Japanese language often does not specify the subject. The meaning of the subject is conveyed by the context.
- Nouns in Japanese do not change in the plural form. Instead, a number or counter before the noun indicates the quantity.

Amazing education, well worth it
"Being a cheapskate, I was skeptical to spend too much money on a language-learning product, but Rosetta Stone was totally worth it. I am very impressed by the intuitive, natural feel to the speaking, listening, ..."
