I dont think it will realy help at all because i realy doubt that a key on the keyboard coresponds to the english chaircter.

They don't, for example, the character on the "B" key is for the "ko" sound.

How could you live with such a small space bar???????

that`s not how you learn japanese.

first you learn hiragana, then katakana and kanji comes last.

good luck though, the way ur doing it, ur gonna be really lucky if you learn japanese properly.

you can learn a lot of oral japanese through social and entertainment. go watch anime and date a japanese girl. japanesse keyboards can help if you are going to type japanese :)

I have edited the title for you.

We have had this before, such abbreviations can offend some Japanese members. Spanish speakers dont go calling americans "gringos" around the boards, do they?

Anyway, this is just a precaution, no need for a discussion here about it.

Ps: there is no way youll nearn Japanese only by typing in such keyboard, hell, i'd be the arabic master if that was teh case..

i was gonna say that too. i dont understand the steps you are going about to learn japanese.

if you want to learn hiragana, try using this: http://www.chipchat.com/NihonGo/protect/HiraganaDrill.html

however, there is no subsistute for drilling, and actually taking a class. that keyboard looks nasty btw.

When I started out learning hiragan, I bought one of these:

from: http://www.jlist.com/SEARCH/elecom/1

Its sticky backed, So i have it on the wall by my desk.

I am Japanese.

It is serious to acquire Japanese.

It is necessary to remember the Roman alphabet.

It is necessary to remember the kanji, hiragana, and katakana.

In addition, it is necessary to remember the Japanese conversion method of the keyboard.

The quick one is to make a Japanese girlfriend.

Please look at the homepage here the reference.

learning japanese on your own... lots and lots of good luck with that, I do recommend first studying hiragana , then katakana and only then kanji. i know a bit of japanese myself (i study chinology, japanese also next year but have learned some on my own already) , but i wouldn't recommend learning it through the computer, it's nice if you can type some but the best way to learn is to write write write. if you're serious about learning japanese contact me and i'll let you know what books we use at university to study japanese ;)
