Hey all.
I’m going to try to learn Japanese for a handful of reasons, the main two being that my cousin’s wife is Japanese and the other is I’d like to someday travel to Japan and being able to speak to people would be helpful.
That, and I’m getting really tired of reading subtitles on my anime.Hi Kristina,
those are great reasons to learn a new language. I remember reading someone’s blog whom is now fluent in Japanese that said almost the same thing as you did regarding subtitles. After years of reading subtitles he told himself, “I am better than this!” And motivated himself to learn the language ASAP.
Good luck,

“Who” =P
Anyway, as someone who’s been to Japan with just the occasional word of Japanese, plus a phrasebook and charades – we got by, but knowing Japanese certainly would have helped. If nothing else than because I would have understood a station announcement on the first night, and so wouldn’t have had to spend ten thousand yen on a taxi. =)
