I'm writing a series of Beginner to intermediate Japanese instruction articles for a site called otakugeeksquad.org. My articles will be coming out next month. I would be willing to upload them to everyone but this site does not support uploading .doc files, which is kind of silly. Does anyone know who to talk to to get that working?

My first recommendation thought would be to learn Hiragana and Katakana. It is not hard, people just don't really try to learn it. Learning the kana will help you on pronunciation more than anything else.
