Who studies currently Japanese language?

I know simple greetings and goodbyes but I'm pathetic! I can't even count. I know....ichi=1 Ni=2 an so on up to 20....but that's about it. Plus I have a book that gives you the name of many single words. Like Kurai I think that means dark....man I need to practice!

I really really want to learn Japanese too! I've wanted to ever since around three years ago, but I never actually tried until a month or so ago... right now all I know is all the hiragana, the first five katakana, one kanji (愛
- ai [love], learned it kind of on accident), and some simple phrases. It kills me how much I could have known by now if I had tried learning three years ago... T_T Oh well, later's better than not at all, or whatever that expression is that slips my mind at the moment...

Anyways, I'm learning with my friend at school, but both of us are learning from the same website (japanese-online.com) and oftentimes I end up just teaching her what I've learned, so I'd love to learn with any of you if you want ^.^ and we can help each other more than my friend's helping me xD

See ya!

The beauty of counting in Japanese is, if you know the 10,100,1000,10000 counters, you can count anything. If you can count to 20, then you can already count to 99

二十　ni-juu -> 20
二十一 ni-juu-ichi -> 21
二十二 ni-juu-ni -> 22
...
...
九十 kyuu-juu -> 90

百 -> hyaku -> hundred
千　-> sen -> thousand
万　-> man -> ten thousand
** note on "man", you should always place "ichi" before it for numbers such as 10000, 12000, 10598. You can get away with just sen-ju-ichi for 1011, but for 10100 you would need to say ichiman-hyaku

Edit: Unless you're talking p
about counters like -kai, -ko, -pon .. That's one area I don't have a firm grasp on yet
