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

    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.

    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.

    That seems a bit silly to me, but to each their own. 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.
