    @Mike MacCully
    Good luck with the dip.

    Is it actually a game? I mean is there actually something to do to complete it or highscore or anything? Mayhaps a story to go though or is it just “walking around in an apartment and learn all the words”?
    Somehow it reminds me of L.A. Noire but that’s just because of the gameplay.

    Why I made a big deal out of it? Because I’m odd. That’s how I understood Koichis request about it. I understood it as I should make a big deal out of it. Now, I don’t it is what he wanted it to be but it’s how I interpreted it. And what sensei say is order (or in this case: What you think sensei says is order). The same way I think I misunderstood what my mom meant with her laugh, I think Eihiko is right.
    Let’s face it… I’m just bad at reading the air.
    It became something I should confess (rather than just saying) because I simply didn’t know how to “just say it.”
    I’m not sure why but I still find it being a little bit embarrassing when it comes to people who don’t have some or another kind of predilection for Japan (as I have). I have no idea why. I often feel it’s embarrassing letting people know what I like. Now, this becomes very personal.

    Hey that’s a really good idea, Joel

    Do you use memrise. I recommend it. There is a course(the memrise term for ‘deck’) with only kana.

    I have had the same problem. I think it’ll make difficulties when it comes to listening, because when you listen you hear the sounds, not the kanji.

    I see.
    It’s really long time I complained about the Ø and it’s still the thing you remember me for. Aikibujin probably remember me as the weird person who declared war over the on WaniKani.

    When I think of how I should have told my mother (which I perhaps shouldn’t have), I think it would have been better if I just told her that I have found a site for learning Japanese, in a way that made it sound like it was something I’ve done recently. I think I would have avoided that weird reaction this way.
    I know it’s too late to find out what I should have done but I think it’s good to know for future communication.

    People are freaks, ignore them.

    I really like that quote, I’ll save it. There’s actually a lot of quotes in this thread I really like.

    I think the best think I can do now is to hope my mother will not destroy my want to study, and wait till the feeling in my stomach is disappears.
    I don’t know why my feelings take this much control of me, and why the subject is so emotional delicate to me.

    Why did you guess I were Norwegian? The kind of grammatical failures I make? The kind of humor I use?
    I wish I could untell her. I asked her why she laughed (I feel so dump). I asked her if it was because of the way I said it. She told me that it just astonished her, and then she began to praise for my intentions. Now she wants me to tell my dad. I’m more interested in keeping it a secret.
    I’ll begin to study at the university this summer. It’ll take about an hour for me to get there if I stay home (I live with my dad), so I think about moving to the student hostel (but I haven’t decided). I think this will become much easier if I move.
    Normally I tell people around me what I want to learn. But I really wanted to learn Japanese and I’ve experienced what Sensei warn against so I did as he said (I think it helped actually).

    I trust my Japanese learning friends here more than my mom so I’ll not tell my dad.
    Thank you for your intentions my Scandinavian friend.

    That Xaromir quote reminds me of something. brb I’ll find it in a moment… Here it is. It’s a Buddhist quote.

    It’s better to live alone; there’s no friendship with a fool. Live alone and skilfully, carefree like an elephant in the forest.

    I’m from Denmark. The happiest nation in the world (I’m not sure why). The first country where porn were legalized (can that be the reason). Anyway.

    ロブ, true I made it sound like I were coming out of the closet or something. I just didn’t know how I should say it in any other way.
    When I think of how I said it to people in my class. Some of them have the subject Chinese. They don’t learn much of the language but they learn about the culture. So I did it the cool way. I just guessed what were written on their homework is it lay on the table. But I still don’t know how I should have told my mom. Asian is never really a subject we come talk about.
    I didn’t say I would move to Japan btw.

    I haven’t told my dad. The reason I think he would think I’m silly is that his way of thinking is more conservative, and he get annoyed by all my weird ideas.

    The guy I call a close friend in the OP is actually the only person I really think of as a friend.
    Thank you for your support. I wouldn’t have thought of it by that perspective myself.

    That’s the most uplifting I’ve ever seen on youtube. Thanks.

    EDIT: I would like to ask you “Did you follow Koichis suggestion about not telling people?”

    I would suggest you to send an e-mail to TextFugu if you can’t find it.
    You can send it to hello@textfugu.com

    guidetojapanese.org is always good.
    When you are through textfugu you should be more aware of what the language is about, so I think you can begin to “freestyle” a little more. Think about grammar points you don’t know how work and find out how they work. Begin to skype with some Japanese people to improve you speaking and listening. Read a book in Japanese is also a possibility. You don’t need to do any of the things perfectly, you will just learn from them if you pay attention to the things you don’t understand.
    Perhaps you see that English isn’t my native tongue. I still learn more English every day I spend here, because I still find vocabulary every day, I add them to an Anki deck.
    Okay the last part went off-topic and I’m not sure why I told it to you.
    I suggest you to find something you don’t know and study it, or just use the language.

    ようこそ
    To prove that I can. Main reason here too.
    For remembering the vocabulary I use a method explained in some books by a (Norwegian) guy called Oddbjørn By. I Don’t really tell everyone here about them because they mainly come out in not Scandinavian languages.
    Have you heard about it?
    I think you should take a look at it.

    It’s surprising how much it can improve you ability to remember vocabulary.

    I wish you luck.

    It’s not long time ago I were there and I became a little confused too but they mean ultimate verb. Just a moment and I’ll find it for you.

    EDIT:
    I found it go to the download page (textfugu.com/dl/). Scroll a little down till you find heading called Ultimate Vocab Decks. There you can download the Ultimate Verbs deck.
    In you get the same problem as I, about how to only study the cards Koichi tells you to and not all of them, you can read my topic http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/individual-groups-in-the-ultimate-verb-dech/.
    Yes I misspelled “deck” please bear with me.

    Is it possible that you hit the dip and it was too steep for you to get out of it at that time, Wasif Asif?
