    I recommend geting sticky notes and writing the verbs on them and sticking them on things that remind you of the verb or even draw a picture of the verb. or watch a movie and try to call-out the verbs every time you see a verb you know or want to know. I don't know if it works for spanish speakers but you could try a flsh card system called "Anki". It allows you to put in your own cards or borrow an already created deck. Oh, it's free, just type it in google and download.

    Oh, and if I were to use the word rubbish. I would use a phrase like "what rubbish!" or " what a load of rubbish!" meaning 'what nonsense' or that it has no meaning or relivance or is just plainly obserd.

    To be honest I didn't even know autumn and fall were the same thing. So, I would say that it doesn't really matter with that one. Though, if you were to use autumn in a sentence rather than fall in just the average day conversation, it would sound slightly more formal to my ears, but just slightly. Now with trousers and rubbish that is more of a British thing. When I hear the word trousers I do get a differant image, rather than just thinking about pants I see overalls, which are strange to most. I think most people know the word trousers, but I would, and I think most would instantly think foreigner or at least british foreigner. If you are a darker skin colour you would probablly be asked where you were from. Just because it is a different word, British word, there would be some mixed signals. Though if a friend of mine used the word every once and a while, I would quickly grow used to it. I hope it didn't sound as though I gave the word "foreign" a negitive nuance. Because that absolutly is not the case, all America is basically is a bunch of foreiger/emigrants. So to be honest I really don't think most people are really all that aware of small differences. I would say most are pretty relaxed about that stuff, don't care, or are going to be excited to meet someone foreign. Rubbish, is virtually never used, the only times I have ever heard it is from british people on tv. Just out of curiosity how long have you been studying Enlish? Because from what I can see you appear to be fluent at least in writing. I mean, I grew up here went to school and still have problems with writing.

    Of course everyone is going to say start with hiragana and katakana. But I would also say "Dictionary". After you get pretty good at hiragana and katakana you will want to go strait into grammar, sentence structures! Learn about particels, suffixes, and I am just getting into this now so I don't want to say anything that might throw you off so I am just going to say look a present tense and past tenses. Oh and look in the front and back of your english-japanese dictionary there tends to be pretty helpful stuff and it might give you an idea of what to study. There is also ANKI, which is a free download spaced time repitition flash card system where you get to put in your own cards or get decks other people have already made. Find a way to get your computer to wright in japanese, it's verry helpful. A kanji dictionary would probably be helpful as well. I will also recomend getting a childrens book in japanese if you can get your hands on one and make sure that if there are any kanji that it has kana next to it, it's a great way to help with grammar and vocabulary. Also the some of the kana are written differently than when tiped and also be aware of the fact that there are different font styles if that is what it's called so don't get woried when you see them look different. sorry I am not going to fix any mistakes I made writing this.
