Hello there! I started being interested in Japanese in high school, with the animes (like a majority of people!) I made a Japanese friend who was at my high school for a few years before heading back to Japan, and in college I took an immersion course for a year before having to drop out. I’ve gone back and forth between a few programs like Rosetta Stone and some smaller phone apps, but none of them really stuck with me. I’m trying to find a speaking partner so perhaps we can exchange hours of language conversation (One hour in Japanese, one hour in English), but I’m not sure where to start!
EDIT: I want to learn the language so I can read books an watch movies and converse with my Japanese friends. I have an open invitation to go to Japan and I’d like to not be the giant foreign woman who can’t speak the dang language!
I tried to look into Wanikani, but the website is just a splash page for me…am I missing something?
(also I found the thread on setting up Anki, which I don’t know what that is yet, but I’m sure I will soon ;D)

Welcome to TextFugu!
As far as language partners go, if you can’t find one in your area (btw colleges are a great place to find them) check out the last post on this thread:

The one about Lang-8 and Skype.
As for WaniKani… It’s kinda like trying to enter the Emerald City.
