Konichiwa! I'm interesting in learning Japanese, too. What I would do is go to a bookstore and buy a Japanese audio cd and book. They have all kinds of language stuff. Everything from German to Dutch and so on. I don't know if you have a Books-a-Million in England but you can try at the bookstore. (I'm sure England has one.) If you're looking for a friend who can teach you Japanese, sorry; I'm American lol. But there are plenty and I do mean
a lot of Japanese people on this site that will be happy to help you out. Good luck!
Sayonara!
