Hello all. I looked at this site a few months back when a friend started learning Japanese. I wanted to start with him, but I didn’t have the time at the time. Now I have the time, and the money to sub here, so it looks like I’m going to work my way through this now. And my reason for learning is the simple: want to watch anime without subs, and/or read manga. Simple, but fun imo. And, I want to be able to understand what my friend says when he texts me random Japanese things. :)
