For those that wants to learn Japanese... what I always tell my friends... specially easier now than before... although sometimes translations are wrong..
1. Go find a hiragana/katakana cheat sheet... I made one before but can't find it lol.
2. Go buy both Japanese version and English version of a manga you like and start reading page by page side by side.
Easier Japanese manga's have something called Furigana next to kanji characters so you can read it in hiragana/katakana.
At least one of my friends did this and in 3 month time the dude started borrowing my JP version games (since they release earlier in Japan) and finished playing on his own.... crazy dude...
Anything is possible if you work your butt off
I need to work my butt off to learn game programming.... no time... orz
sorry gonna stop posting lol off topic again wwww
