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

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?
