anyone want to learn Japanese?

Watch anime- you can get a couple of phrases from there, makes it easier.

Oooh good tip- I've always watched dubbed, rather than subbed, so I shall give the latter a go :smile:

I have tried on many occasions to self-teach, but alas, to no avail :frown:

I could try to help if you want?

I'd love to, currently learning Mandarin though and I feel trying to take on both languages at once would be way too confusing, since some characters overlap.

I picked between Japanese and Mandarin, but decided on Mandarin in the end.

Once my Mandarin is at a good level in a couple of years I would like to take up Japanese :biggrin:

Mandarin is my next language to destroy! :P. Once I'm at my new uni and exam stress is over.

Characters overlapping helps, so long as they've got the same definition in the end?

Ah, never got around to finishing that, although the 'live action' movie weirded me out. That shinigami with the apple...oh gosh
