At first I started out slow, only learning a few a day, but I got tired of that quickly. I just buckled myself down, found a good, work-less day to go without sleep, and said "Ok, tonight, I am going to learn how to read Hiragana no matter what."

It worked, actually. I learned how to read 37 characters in Hiragana in one night. The other 10 I knew. Course, then comes the ten-tens and the small tsu, but those are easy enough to remember. Its quite exciting to go around, reading things in the back of the restaurant I work in(I work in a Japanese resturant, everything is printed in Hiragana/Kanji and english). I may not understand much of it, but its still fun. Until I get told to get back to work.

I can read all of it, but I can only write half. I'll need to study a bit more, when I find the willpower.



Another great tool is this: Flashcard Suite

I just found out about this, seems better than having all those flashcards scattered throughout my room.
Thanks you guys :3 I hope this stuff is free I don't get enough money to buy stuff online yet. ^^; And I have Japanese for dummies and I guess I am worst then a dummy cause it just went in one ear and out the other XD
