I would love to learn Japanese and I have been teaching myself for over 3 years now, but not very well. I get too busy with college and then I have to stop learning Japanese and concentrate on school. Watching anime with English subtitles helps though :) I know a lot of basic words, but building sentences with them is what I have trouble with. On top of that, I can't read kanji, katakana, or hiragana. Unless it's spelled out in romanji, I can't read any Japanese :( I'm here to see if I can pick up some new Japanese and help anyone who needs help with English or German. I was born and raised in Germany, but I have been living in Florida for 7 years now, so I am fluent in both languages.
