I've been learning for about 8-9 months, trying to speak it first. I want to learn & study these kana so I can write down what I say, because I don't want to use Romaji anymore xD I'm still learning though, so it's been a fun experience so far!

Self-taught. ^-^ Basic lessons online, through anime, etc.

I don't like Rosetta Stone for Japanese, it's all formal. I don't want to say "Hello, my name is Jeff" I want to say "Hey, name's Jeff" Lol. It's good at first, but then it just gets really confusing. Rosetta Stone is good for formal, not informal! ^p^

Well, for starters, i don't really know how to write Hiragana (Hence why It took 2 hours to draw this xD) I literally took glances at a picture on google images that looked like this xD I use this picture to help translate words from life to paper, like, Konnichiwa! I know how to write it in Hiragana when I look at this painting, & then i start studying the word for days until it gets permanetly stuck in my mind.

I went to "Japanesepod101.com" & became a free member. It's really good for beginners!

I can remember about (off the top of my mind) 70-80 words.
Hajimemashi.te! (nice to meet you!)
Watashi wa Jeff desu. (I am Jeff.)
Genki desu ka? (How are you?)
Genki desu. (I'm fine.)

Yesssss, my grammer is bad too xD But you can't really expect anyone to learn & speak Japanese fluently in less than a year lol.

Yeah, i don't know anyone else who's REALLY learning, i mean, i have friends who know a couple words but aren't interested in learning anything else. So it is nice to talk ro someone who is learning! ^u^ What was that program you were using on the Ds? Is it good?

Whoa! That sounds really good? How much was it?

Do you think it could be in the E-shop? Lol.

So you think they have that game @ gamestop still? I have a gamestop near Latham so i'm good xD I live in New York lol I'll def check it out, thanks for telling me about it! It sounds really good ^u^

Your explanation of how japanese Rs are pronounced is wrong it is a tap which makes it sound like your saying an l and an r at the same time, not a trill like spanish.
