I really hope you aren't.

"HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9000" doesn't come into play very often in polite conversation, if you can imagine

theres alot of learn japanese stuff on the net. ive already found alot by just searching... the best resource ive found is a video series and workbook called Let's learn japanese basic
it seems like a good place to get basic skill :vsign:

i've been studying japanese for ~5 years now. i can help you out if you want. don't have msn but you can email me: [email protected]

Unless of course, someone's powerlevel does, in fact, happen to be over 9000.

Shows, I'd imagine, would be good to brush up on skills you've already learned, once you've gotten a good portion of the language down. But that's as far as a show might take ya'.

Yeah, I found learning Kana and Kanji first is easier, because sometimes learning Japanese from a book or CD, it will be in that form and not rōmaji.

It's a little pricey, but I've heard Rossetta Stone is a great way to learn a language. I don't know from experience, but the website offers an online tutorial.

Learning Japanese will take time, partially because the writing system is completely different, and also because it's hard work! : D

I'm also thinking of learning a bit of Japanese (basics for start then we'll see).
Anyone knows of any good free tutorials, web sites that would help me get started?

ive got rossetta stone: havent used it much yet but, the interface feels kinda "low budget" but it seems pretty good
