That is the saddest think when you study on your own: there's no teacher or tutor or a friend to explain and motivate you on going farther... Anyway, good luck to you!

Yes, we all need someone to talk to. Oh, you mean to learn Japanese.

Count me out. I always had problems with foreign languages.

I have people to talk to, only with the coronavirus spreading out of control I just can't talk to them face to face. That's depressing.

Anyway, I've gotten way. . . .

Sorry.

The high school I went to in Arizona offered Japanese classes. I took them for three years and then I took another three at Arizona State University. This was shortly before the age of Toonami so I was kind of the only anime fan in the class. All of my classmates were overachievers looking for a challenge or to look good on their college applications. I just took it as a hobby and it worked out for me. I had a lot of exposure to the language through anime and games and gave me lots of opportunities to practice outside of class.
