Next year is a big gaming year for me and you can be apart of my year too!

Yeah, all languages beside English and Japanese are stupid. I'd never start learning a language that is not useful to me. So far English and Japanese are the only useful ones I know. I'm going to Japan the year after next and I'm trying a hard regiment of vocab and grammar training until then so I have no trouble there.

Once I'm done with Japanese in 40 years or so I hope to learn some Chinese to better communicate with our then supreme overlords.

Have you started learning Kanji yet? Many people find it difficult, but I don't think that it's so bad.

I know around a thousand of them including most of their pronunciations and about 2000 vocab. It's still not nearly enough to properly understand much. And that's with hundreds of hours of anime under my belt. My grammar is at best rudimentary and my sentence construction ability is non existent. To be fair though, Japanese sentence construction is very counter intuitive for western learners.

By the end of next year I should be a lot more confident and should've started reading some Japanese websites and mangas.
