I understand what you mean by getting used to seeing it. I recognize all of the Kanji (in between the BLACK MASS OF SCARY SQUIGGLIES) I’ve learned so far when I’m looking at Japanese on Twitter; I’ve followed some Japanese bands that I keep up with and look at everyday. It helps, even though I don’t know a lot of what they’re saying without mousing over the words.

Actually, I’ve learned quite a few words just by doing that because a lot of what they say is repeated (places in Japan, days, months and such), so I get used to seeing it in posts. Makes me feel good to be able to read some words and confident enough to know what they are without having to mouseover. So it does make a lot of sense.

Bah.. I wish I hadn’t of stopped. I could probably be so far right now. T_T
