    Ah cool. I’ll be sure to watch the next episode :D

    @ Kas
    It’s the same for Europeans wanting to work in the US I’d imagine. Lots of paperwork to fill out, certain amount of funds needed before travelling, sponsorship, etc. Both countries should make the process easier.

    Just watched all four episodes of Last Resort. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I loved the suspense the end of the episodes gave. It made me want to watch the next one. The comedy parts were funny too. Is there going to be another episode?

    Flashback was good too. Very powerful and moving. Props to you and the cast of both things. Can honestly say that both were better than the stuff you find on TV these days.

    I think you’re an awesome actress and good luck with your career and the move to Florida. I must say, you’re very pretty too o.O

    Hehe your welcome. Nice meeting you too. You should definitely come visit England sometime. I definitely plan to visit New York at some point. Seems alot of Americans love the British accent :D

    Sorry to hear about your uncle passing away. Hope you and your fam are ok.

    As for your question. I think you should write up a schedule of when your going to be busy and plan around that for your Japanese study time. So say for exmaple, if you only have an hour free every evening, try and use that to do abit of studying. If you have a smartphone or ipod touch, download anki for that and import your decks so you can do some drills in your lunch break or on your way to college if you use the train, etc.

    I’d try to avoid cramming as it’s not really that effective for remembering things long term. It’s ok for studying for a test and not needing to remember that information anymore afterwards, but your going to want to want to remember what you learn for years so even doing 1 hour a day is better than 3 hours one day and skipping two days.

    You sound like a cool girl already Yuna :)

    I’m Tom, 24 years old and live in the south of England. I have a massive interest in Asian countries, but mostly things to do with Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan. I’m learning Japanese here on TF and one day hope to also learn Korean and Chinese. I’d love to visit Japan one day and maybe even live and work there if the opportunity arises.

    I’m also into Video Games, Music, Movies, Technology.

    Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any proper Japanese movies or TV shows. I’m not a fan of anime either. I have seen Lost in Translation and Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift but they’re really Hollywood movies. Will check out any recommendations on this page :D

    I’ve downloaded JED and Kabuto. Both are pretty good. I’ve also just downloaded Jim Breen’s WWWJDIC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nick.wwwjdic&feature=search_result and a Kanji Recognizer that integrates with the WWWJDIC app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nick.kanjirecognizer&feature=search_result. Both are pretty good. The Kanji Recognizer also has a kanji handwrite function.

    http://whiterabbitpress.com/electronic-dictionaries.html do a range of electronic dictionaries. I’ve never used one so can’t tell you how good they are, although WRP prodcuts are usually to a high standard. They are however, quite expensive.

    Before deciding to splash out all that money on one, I think you should watch this video Koichi made a couple of years ago about electronic dictionaires. It might change your mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AejPoyWqoFk

    Get a Playstation Vita instead of a PSP. It’s newer and has more features. Aside from maybe warranty issues (you might still be covered if you bought/import one from Japan in your own country), I don’t see what other problems you’d run into. The Vita has multi languages, so switching between English and Japanese should be as easy as it is on the PS3. The games are region free. The only downside is if you have multiple PSN accounts, you really need to have seperate memory cards for each account. This saves having to do a factory reset every time to switch account.
