Language time!

Im currently learning japanese! :)  mostly so that i can watch anime without having to use the subtitles...but regardless im really excited about it.  my friend Erik (yes you Erik) is helping me with my terrible penmanship and pronunciation etc.  hes gonna bring me some worksheets in Japanese (probably 2nd grade level) lol but i believe it will help.  so far i can say the basic hiragana alphabet...working on writing it. they i will go on to the variations of the hiragana alphabet.  after that i suppose i will go on to katanaka...and after that...the dreaded kanji. im slowly learning it but i feel i am making progress. ill keep updating any major details about my endeavours :)
