I need to know where a good Japanese Verb Conjugation site is, one that has all the conjugations for every verb. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! | ||

http://member.nifty.ne.jp/ComWin/index.htm#contents This is a good Japanese grammar site, with verb conjugation, while it may not label each verb individually, it has the info needed to figure it out yourself. | ||

www.mindspring.com/~kimall/Japanese/verbs1.html This site uses Romaji for learning Japanese, which I personally really don't care for because Romaji is NOT Japanese (I like to learn the same way native Japanese children learn their own language--through Kana (Japan's phonetic writing system of syllabic characters)). Nonetheless, it explains the different kinds of verbs (which there perhaps-surprisingly aren't many of) and gives all the tenses (in two of which cases there are almost 40 tenses). | ||

I feel I should learn the way Japanese children do to, which is learn to speak it, and read/write it later. At least, that's how I learned English (my first and only language). | ||

Well, what about living in Japan for a while? Or perhaps only watching Japanese TV and movies without subtitles, and try to figure it out from context? I agree with Anonymous1. This speak-first-read-later method would result in much more natural speech, as opposed to a more strict, unbending way of talking that comes with learning only from books. Unfortunately, I learned Japanese the second way, and I am very clumsy when I try to speak fast, because I am not able to stray from the strict pronunciation rules learned from book study. Anyway, that is my two cents. | ||

Also, I agree with Anonymous2: romaji is VERY irritating! |
