Oh yeah! This would be a kick ass thread! I'm so intersted in learning Japanese, and I already got the pronounciations down, I just need to learn words! :p I have so many books but I never have time to learn and plus, I'm lazy.
I practiced Japanese by learning off lyrics in songs from anime. I print out the Romanji versions and just practice. But, now, the only way for me to actually speak, is, if I sing, and that's no good. I only know how to say this sentence in Japanese: Hajime ma****e. Watashi wa Diana-desu. That's it. And I know a few words, like, otanjoobi omedetou, wakaranai, hitokiri, aoi, namida, midori, oni, oyasuminasai, ohayo gozaimasu, arigatou gozaimasu, minna-san, nezumi, neko, baka, kuzo, onigiri, sora, gomen nasai, sumimasen, dozo, okaasan, otoosan, sensei, sempai, oneechan, oniisan(?), hana, betsu ni, tadaimasu, itadakimasse, itakimasse, ja ne, wakata, ai, usagi, kawaii, sugoi, tomodachi, itsuka, itsumo, himitsu, onna, otoko(?).....ah..well, there's others, but I can't remember them all. Teach us, Reid-sensei!
