[Variant]

I'd like to throw my hat in here as well, I'm in the process of learning Japanese to better integrate with my future in-laws and I'm having difficulties progressing any further without conversational practice. I'm decent with hiragana (but somehow I've gotten to this point with no katakana) and I've begun the arduous process of memorizing kanji but it's sloooowwwww going.

If anyone would like to connect, please drop me a line via PM or Email.
