hi well im knew and i joined for the sole purpose to ask here as of the fact that you ARE a translation site so someone is bound to know where on the net i can learn japanese plzzz help becouse there is so much good things that are just not translated and i just think its a shame i cant read it just becouse of this

im not really sure if i put the subject in the right place so if its the wrong one sorry

I think you should work on your English skills before you move on to the next language.

Once you've mastered such advanced techniques as the apostrophe and the shift key, you can try your luck in this topic for some pointers.

thanks
i know that my english isnt perfect but wouldnt go as far as saying that i need to polish my knowledge to learn other languages and even if it is spare me its my third language so to the point can someone
give a name for a dictionary and the thingy that will allow me to type japanese and you know all the things needed and about the apostrophe i know where i should put it but its too bothersome because i know anyone who knows his english will understand it without them o and thanks in advance

Windows
control panel
language and regional settings
Set your language to Japanese, to type or to start your com with Japanese language and stuff...
That should work as long as you have the language files installed...?
