Buy him a japanese dictionary or something
Tell him to look at the resource library on the Daily Japanese Thread on /a/. After that, you could be generous and buy him a textbook called Genki. That's how I taught myself up to intermediate level Japanese.
>>27356073
Buy him Genki, let him teach you whatever lesson he just went over and do the pair work with him or something.

I'm sure "your brother" is having a difficult time. You can recommend to "your brother" that he should try learning the japanese alphabets as the first step.
call him kek
>>27356073
help him pull the trigger
>>27356073
>brother
Just say that you're not very bright, it's an anonymous board after all
Also, Japanese can be self-taught in this day and age. Learn how to internet and have self-discipline.

At least make an effort, people

OP HERE. One more.

Beat the shit out the con man. It'll be a good bonding moment for your brother and you. Just make sure to record it, if the guy's Kung Fu is anything like his Japanese he'll probably try to do a Hadokun.

OP HERE... Can't. This is Britain, where criminals have all the rights and victims none. We have a joke which goes something like this... FYI, 999 is the Britfag version of 911
>call 999 and say "there's a rapist in my house"
>police do nothing
>call 999 and say "there's a rapist in my house and I'm about to kick his head in"
