I would like to learn Japanese.

Rosetta Stone is beyond my means/ability to pay for.

Besides, I want to learn to read, write, and possibly speak Japanese.

One CD set I bought is 'Talk Now !'. Costs less than Rosetta Stone.

I have read of a web site in Florida that carries items that are used in Japan to teach the language and writing. 3 CDs and a book, the book is instructions in English, are the same lessons as taught in Japan.

I took Spanish in High School and the teachers told me I was rather good at it. I have forgotten much of it. But I do still retain part of it.

I was wondering what your suggestions might be to learn Japanese ?

I don't expect to become great at it, but I would like to try.

Thanks.
