    interesting question. in my situation, when i'm talking to people who are native of the language i'm learning, i put in mind that these people do not really pay much attention whether you are a good speaker of that language. if they know you are still a beginner or that language is not your mother tongue, they will not mind if you stutter a bit or say some grammatically incorrect sentences. they will even help you. mind over matter. don't think too much about what others might think. just have confidence and say what you want to say.

    i think the book got it backwards O_o. くん (kun) is a honorific used for boys and also younger people whom you both respect greatly and are fond of. Kun is generally used for men whom you are friends/acquaintances with and also for younger ones who are in the same 'career' as yours. ちゃん (chan) on the other hand is generally used for all girls and children. chan denotes more of a loving/playful//fondly disposition towards that person. but it can also make you overly familiar sometimes, so you better not use it for elder and well respected people. aside from girls and children, chan is normally used for people with a well-liked/friendly image. comparatively, chan is more informal than kun. Kun can be used still be used in formal occasions. the honorific 'san' is more preferrable and safe at most times since it means mister or miss.

    watching without subtitles works better for me now. it helps me sharpen my listening skills and makes my comprehension faster. i only turn it on when i missed to understand a particular phrase or dialogue.

    i'm baack!!!! hiyaaa italki!! i'm freakin back!! heheh. i missed this site. it's been what, like 2 years since i last became active here? still, i'm glad with how much i've progressed with my Japanese all throughout this time. i actually bought a few books, only to be wasted lying around the house XD lol. right now, i can already manage to watch an entire anime or drama episode without subtitles. heheh. (smug face) what really helped me is constantly watching Japanese variety shows, animes and dramas. listening to Japanese songs as well. so yeah, right now, i can pretty much understand most of the Japanese songs i listen to, without having to search for the translation. but my understanding is still not thorough. i've still got tons of things to learn. like Kanji, for instance. Kanji, oh Kanji. y u make my life so difficult???? O_o.
