Howdy,

So I'm working on my Japanese. I've gotten some stuff done, 200 or so word vocab, hiragana, some basic phrases, etc.
I'm also tired of listening to people ask where the bathroom is, but I still want to work on listening to the language. So my brilliant idea: watch some japanese movies and translate as I go. Practice hearing it spoken, expand my vocab scene at a time... easy for me to memorize movies for some reason.
So here is my problem... the japanese subtitles, of course, have kanji. I find it very difficult to look up these symbols... Last night I spent an hour looking through flashcards, and in various japanese programs for a word that has to mean something along the lines of regret( from the english subs).
My interest in Kanji is very limited. Is there a easy way to translate these subtitles? Has someone maybe made a katakana/ romaji script for a popular movie?
