Can you still get a good career Even if you dont take college courses?
So my ideal career is to be a translator in japanese, but sadly Missouri really doesnt offer those kind of classes here...So i'm wondering if I work hard w/a native tutor online and use software like rosetta stone would that really hurt my chances since I dont have a college degree? Or can someone find me a list of colleges in Missouri that offer japanese classes because i'm having a hard time finding any -.-

Answer 1 :
Yes lol. You only need to be fluent in both languages to be a translator. Rosetta stone is the worst program to try to learn Japanese, it has a lot of errors and mispronunciations, its really not worth the hassle. Your better off useing other great websites like http://www.123japanese.com http://www.japanesepod101.com
Answer 2 :
A website is not always the best way to learn a language, especially a language like Japanese. They are not always a good, reliable source to learn a language; the authors of most online courses have no teaching credentials whatsoever. If you really want to learn, then take some courses or invest in a good textbook. The best way to learn Japanese is through a variety of methods. You need to work on your grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Its best to think of these as separate categories and focus on each specific category as these require different methods and techniques. Start by learning the basics through grammar. These books really helped me: • Shin Nihongo no Kiso I & II • Shin Nihongo no Kiso Japanese Kanji Workbook • A Course in Modern Japanese by The University of Nagoya Press • An Introduction to Modern Japanese by Osamu Mizutani & Nobuko Mizutani How to Learn Japanese http://japan-australia.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-learn-japanese.html
