hey everyone

So I just decided to learn Japanese a couple days ago. My previous knowledge of it has been a few words I've picked up from watching anime but nothing I could use to make a complete sentence. I guess being able to watch anime and not have to read subs is my motivation, plus it would be pretty cool to be able to speak fluently if I ever visit Japan (though that'll probably never happen). With that in mind I'm ignoring kanji and just focusing on learning romaji since that's what anime is subbed with. Hopefully I don't get frustrated with it after a few weeks and quit.

Welcome to JREF aichain! It's cool that you've decided to pick up Japanese, but be prepared for a very long and difficult journey. You could start by reading a bit of the Learn Japanese section, lots of good information there. Enjoy the forum!

Welcome to JREF !! It's nice to have you with us, and it's a good place to learn more Japanese. . . of course, little by little. There are some threads in the Learning Japanese sub-forum that you can check out and post on in romaji. Please take a look there.

Please do check out the whole forum as well, and jump right in when and where you can or want to !!

Do your best !! (ganbatte kudasai) and don't give up !! MM
