try both free site
you need to learn 2 letters (hiragana and katakana) first.
both has 46 letters each.
you need less than 1 mo.
then grammer and basic kanji (less than 2,000 characters)
all japanese sentence can write in hiragana. hiragana is basic.
best way to learn japanese are..
go to language school or community college.
get native tutor
but you better master basic first. those schools teach too fast and have lots of home works. nobody can catch up without basic i think.

Hiragana and katakana. If you're capable of learning the two basic writing systems of Japanese you might just have enough time and patience to learn sentence structure, vocabulary, grammar, and 1,945 kanji.

I'm not trying to be mean telling you to do this. Japanese is a very difficult language and I'm only trying to help you save your money and time. Don't run out and buy Rosetta Stone and all those other programs. If you can't learn how to write basic, you'll never master how to read, speak, or comprehend. It will also help you in the future with finding study materials. Most (good) sources do NOT use romaji.

go 2 on the web 2 wikipidiea and search that

start with a course using ROMAJI as the writing system, which is a system adapted to learning to speak Japanese,and it really works. I started that way and after two lessons, I could carry on a conversation.
The other way is to start struggling over the 3 writing systems they combine all together in every written thing in Japanese. The people who studied starting in that system, couldnt say anything even after a month.
And when it comes after spending 1 year with romaji and then starting the writing systems, you can spot the words fast if you know them from Romaji, because the sounds just fall in place (for hirugana and katakana writing).

So you want to learn Japanese eh? Great choice! The language is fun, the culture is fascinating, and the food is delicious!

Here's a few tips to get you started.

1. Study everything! Don't look for one or two resources and expect to learn everything from them. When someone asks which book, CD, computer program, or website is best to learn from, I say, "All of them!" I learned something from every Japanese language-related book I've ever read. Study a lot and you'll learn a lot.

2. Start with the basics. The book "Japanese: The Manga Way" by Wayne P. Lammers gives a good, fun overview of the language. So does Tae Kim's "Guide to Japanese" website ( http://www.guidetojapanese.org ) which is very detailed. Kim Allen's "Japanese for the Western Brain" site ( http://kimallen.sheepdogdesign.net/Japanese/index.html ) gives an overview while focusing on the differences between Japanese and English, and is very helpful. If you need an online dictionary, jisho.org ( http://www.jisho.org ) is a great site to use.

3. As you continue your study, develop each of the four areas of language learning: Hearing, Speaking, Reading, and Writing
Hearing: Go to JapanesePod101.com ( http://www.japanesepod101.com ) and sign up for their free podcasts. They range from beginner to advanced and will be a great resource in your study.
Speaking: Talk to Japanese people every chance you get. Shared Talk ( http://www.sharedtalk.com ) has voice chat through which you can talk to Japanese people and they're generally very supportive.
Reading: Memorize the hiragana ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana ), then the katakana ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana ). After that, you can start memorizing kanji and reading japanese manga (which you can purchace from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.jp )
Writing: You can do text chat at Shared Talk ( http://www.sharedtalk.com ) and maybe find a Japanese Pen Pal there to practice all the kanji you learn.

4. Take a class. The good thing about taking a Japanese class is that it forces you to study, even if you don't want to. It also provides a nice structure for learning the language, along with someone who can correct your pronunciation.

5. Go to Japan! This is the number one, fastest, easiest, guaranteed-to-work way to learn Japanese. Even if it's just for a visit, being immersed in the language is a huge benefit to study. Japanese people are usually really supportive of foreigners learning their language and their encouragement will be a great boost for you.

6. Never give up! Japanese is a really hard language. It requires a lot of memorization and practice. Don't expect to be fluent even after a few years of study (especially if you're not studying in Japan). Language learning is a life-long pursuit.

7. HAVE FUN! This is the most important tip I could give you. As long as you're having fun learning the language, then you will be successful. Always try to find ways of making the learning enjoyable.
