I would like nothing more than to be able to understand Japanese. Can you help me?

hi,I began to learn Japanese 5 years ago,and it is my second foriegn language,English is my major in college ,therefore,I am willing to provide you some tips if you really want to learn Japanese.はじめましで　よろしく

i have been learning Japanese for about 4 years and i found that the best way to learn the language was to start by learning the basics like you would anything else, by writing and reading. there are a small number of textbooks available, but phrase boOKs are also ok. then once you learn the basics then the best way to improve is to practice speaking the language. or you could always try tapes.( not recommended as you don't learn to read or write)

がんばって。

i have been speaking Japanese since i was 4 now I'm 13, i also took it in school for an easy A. if you go to japan you will pick it up much faster or if you have friends who are Japanese or who speak Japanese,or you could take a collage course if your old enough
