Motivation to learn Japanese

Japanese For the Rest of Us

This site is all about Go (aka weiqi, baduk), a strategy based board game. This non-profit, ad-free, site is dedicated to the world-wide GO Community. Please enjoy communicating with your fellow GO peers all around the world.

Of course there are many other ways to learn Japanese, but these are the steps that I feel are the most efficient for a self learner with limited time.
