Need help learning Japanese

lelesucheta · Oct 28, 2003, 13:17

Hi All,
I live in Pune, India. I want to learn Japanese but am hampered by the fact that I cant find teachers in my area (I live in Karve Nagar). So if anyone knows of teachers or has a list of teachers , please let me know.

Also, if you guys could give me pointers to learning the basics I would be really glad.

Thanks,
Sucheta

I've also started a Japanese course on my website, there's only one lesson now, but more will be added:

The first lesson just deals with nouns and the relationships between them, the second lesson will handle the basics of verbs.
