Oh dear, I never thought about it until just now, but I haven’t been using any honorifics with forum members D: すみません、Fayne-san!
Maybe you’re right- once I’m more established with Japanese, I think I’ll give Italian a shot ^_^
Not from the desk of Eihiko. Eihiko's boss took his desk away from him.こんにちは、Fayne!
It sounds like you’ve a solid foundation and a very good motivation for learning! My dad speaks Italian, and I often considered learning it instead of Japanese. I suppose I still am considering it…
Anyway, はじめまして and よろしくおねがいします and I look forward to seeing you around the forum!

I think you can cover the beginner course independently if you put your mind to it. It’s nice to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you around the forum ^_^
じゃあね！

I ask because the worth of this technique varies depending on the other techniques being used:
If your plan is to memorize all the kanji meanings, then memorize all the kanji readings, then memorize vocab lists and grammar rules, you’re going to spend months studying without ever being able to apply your knowledge. That would frustrate most people.
If you plan to memorize all kanji meanings as a foundation, then focus your further studies around topics, then I think you’ll have more luck. Knowing the kanji meanings can help you remember compound words (volcano = fire + mountain). Things like readings and vocabulary and grammar all depend on the context of the conversation, and there’s very little rhyme or reason to them at times, so there’s no point memorizing them all at once.

[Wait. Can I call her Tere? Only friends call her Tere. Am I her friend? What if we're destined to be bitter enemies?? Gah!]
Hi Teresa!
I am half Italian/half everywhere else in Europe, but I live in America and am hopelessly monolingual.
Anyway, はじめまして and よろしくおねがいします and I look forward to seeing you around the forum!
Your indeterminate associate,

Technically, America is responsible for the origin of video games. Japan is responsible for the resurrection of video games after America killed them in the late 70s. I like to think of it as a team effort though ^_^

Not from the desk of Eihiko. Eihiko's boss took his desk away from him.I have this confusing, but lovely image in my mind of war-hardened soldiers eating ice cream. That being said, I am on season 3 and just crammed every katakana character into my short-term memory ^_^
Not from the desk of Eihiko. Eihiko's boss took his desk away from him.Hi Rob! はじめまして！
Does anyone know why this forum has so many Australian people? I find it really, really interesting in an academic sense.
Not from the desk of Eihiko. Eihiko's boss took his desk away from him.This Eihiko guy you mentioned sounds like a jerk. I would not associate with him anymore, were I you.
Cimmik is right, your writing is positively damp in the most pleasant way! I am also on WaniKani, but I don’t like those forums because they’re confusing and the Crabigator scares me.
I’ve been doing some serious research on Japanese culture and find it to be every bit as complicated as the language. Which is exciting, academically, but terrifying for someone considering living there.
はじめまして and よろしくおねがいします and I look forward to your future posts, even if they are as long and annoying as this one ^_^
-Someone who is definitely not Eihiko. Not even a little bit.

Not from the desk of Eihiko. Eihiko's boss took his desk away from him.Hello, blue turtle! Your top hat is snazzy.
I have also been learning Japanese on and off, and have recently decided to give it the dedication it deserves. I am also, as it happens, studying computer science and currently working full time. I am not from Australia though. I’m from Ohio, which is sort of like a mini Australia when you think about it.
