Greetings, Kevin! :) Welcome! How lucky that you’ve been to Japan. I’m so jealous! It’s great that you’re getting started with your Japanese studies. Does your fiancée already speak Japanese or is she learning as well? I look forward to checking out her videos. Thanks for posting the link.

Good luck with all of your studies!

Hello there! Welcome to the forums. :) I’m glad you’re finally started on your goal! Are you currently a teacher?

I too am a very visual learner and struggle with audio only resources. I’m glad you found Textfugu. It’s a great resource!

Good luck with your studies!

Howdy Pencil! Welcome to the forums. I like that you have long, mid, and short term goals. If you’re only aiming for one new vocab/grammar a day, though, it might take longer than 5 years to become fluent! ;)

Best of luck with your studies!

Ok, I’ll toss my hat into the ring. By the end of today, I’m going to catch up on my vocab deck. I fell behind over Christmas and then getting sick but only have 108 cards left. It’s killing me that I haven’t been able to get that number down to 0 yet. Today I will catch up on Anki!

Hi breakies – Welcome! If you have the opportunity to visit Japan, you should go! It’s a wonderful country and you can still travel safely.

Good luck with your studies!
