I learned Japanese vocabulary from playing imports, but that wasn't really accidental I think.

That's awesome, never really worked for me though. Did you have some prior training in Japanese? While it is incredibly easy for me to incorporate new English words into my vocabulary I've never managed to do this with Japanese words. I have a basic understanding of what I guess to be 30-50 words and phrases, but's that about it. I blame it on not actually knowing Japanese grammar, thus not having a real incentive to remember anything but some very basic words^^

Yeah, I am used to having conversations and conversing in it. My Windows, my phone, my gmail, most of my applications are in Japanese and I use it daily. That's probably why it's easier for me to play import games, because at most I am just looking up words/kanji I don't recognize ><... I can understand the grammar fine.

I started learning when I was 15 because of the whole it's easier to learn a language when you're younger thing, I figured it would be better to start then. I have a friend I have known for 11 years that he is practically family who has visited and we talk everyday, so I use it frequently. Not really so much for anime because I don't watch it, so my hearing could be better...
