Hey, finally decided to post on this forum. I signed up for the lifetime option back at the end of 2010. I started for 3 months then drifted away by doing too much on my plate. I used to set an hour or so a day for this. Then I got new computer from my 7 year old one. Way more powerful etc. So I started messing around with the online games and all that other stuff on the web and it was more fun then learning. Especially when I was staring to have problems getting the vocab memorized. Plus I started running more and golfing more and so I was off the computer more, and when on I was playing games and facebooking etc.

Now I’m kind of fed up with a lot of that other stuff on the computer- where does it get me after the fun wears off? GO back to learning something and improving myself. I wanted to learn Japanese as it seemed like a neat language from the manga/cartoon/movies etc. I prefer subbed over dubbed so I want to know what is actually being said so that the stuff is being subbed correctly.

So I am starting all over again. And wow, it looks so different from 14 months ago.

Of course saying this kind of violates the TED rules I just read.
