I have been learning Japanese on my own ever since I started developing feelings toward the language. I find studying another language is fun and a great way of understanding other language. Personally, I find learning other languages easy especially when someone who speaks the language is teaching me. However, I find learning on my own enjoyable just the same. If you want to learn other language than your own, I suggest you seriously make up your mind first before starting anything because your determination and focusing will help you reach your goal or learning the language. Put effort as well as time on the learning process and I assure you that you will achieve what you want in due time.
Basically, learning foreign language is like eating a cake as a whole but it is guaranteed that you will definitely not be able to eat the whole thing all at once. You have to slice the cake into manageable chunks for your mouth to handle.
Same is true with learning another language other than your own. You need to break it down to units and organize them so that things will be a lot easier later on. Start with the overview and basic things to learn. Here alone, you may find it a little confusing especially if you want to take things all at the same time. Well, don't. Spending 15-20 minutes per unit of the language is enough each day. Your attention span could not last longer than not, human as you are. You need to absorb the information first before you take on another session.
Having someone to listen to when learning another language is also another important key for you to learn how the language is spoken and in order for you to get to feel the first hand experience of hearing someone talk. At first glance, you may find this one a little difficult especially if you do not really know anyone who speaks the language.
However, there are some ways to alleviate this posing problem. In my case, I watched way too many anime DVDs and also watched online. They speak the Japanese language quite clearly if you have a sense of speed in grasping. In all other language, if you can't hire someone to teach you, you can do little search for sites with mp3s or wav files of foreign language audios that can be downloaded. I assure you there really are a lot of them in the internet.
Write down notes as much as possible during your learning process. I find this very important in learning because I can remember things faster if I wrote them down myself. You can do this too. For example, I write down notes while watching anime DVDs. I find this really helpful in my 15-20 minutes session in learning the language. You see, learning a foreign language will require a lot of effort and time. If you doubt you can make it, I suggest you don't start. If in any case you are determined to finish the whole course even if you are only self-studying then by any means, go ahead.
