The Socks-Out: Sleeping is mission impossible.

California has no curry. England has no Mexican food.

DILEMMA.

Sorry, Ras :o

My kana's rusty as hell, too. Not writing it since my senior year in highschool kinda does that.

Oh hey, we're on the same boat :wacko:. I really just need to buy the books. Spending $70 on four books is deterring me :P.

When it comes to reading/recognizing, kana was mostly burned into my mind. I first started studying it a good 10 years ago and I still haven't forgotten it. Writing it without having to think for a second or two is another matter.

Yeah, fuckloads of Japanese-only games, Undubs and anime helped me to get to a point where I can understand certain stuff without subtitles. Which is kinda cool. :wacko:

I'm not planning to take classes, just read textbooks, listen to audio CDs and stuff at home. But I'm also not aiming for extreme masterclass fluency, so I guess it's okay.

I only have an interest in the written language. :shrug:

My only goal here is playing a few games that will never get translated. Growlanser for example :|.

That seems a bit silly to me, but to each their own. :wacko: The spoken part is actually easier.

You should! ^_^ I never really made a focused effort to learn Japanese until I came to university, and I managed to get to the point where I passed the second highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. And judging by your amazing English, I'm somewhat less adept than you at foreign languages, so if I can learn it I'm sure you can too. Especially if you're playing multiple fifty hour RPGs every year. ^^;;;
