I wish I could do that for other languages. I'm fairly good at French, but most of the time iit's harder to find information in French, and if there is it won't usually be as good as English so I'm just stuck using my native language.

I wish it was that easy with Japanese. English is so fucking easy to understand that you only need a handful of words and basic grammar to start learning and understanding your first sentences. With Japanese you need training and a couple of thousand words to understand at least a few words per sentence.

Let's hope in 10 years my understanding of Japanese is at least half as good as that of English.

I'm learning Japanese too! (Afterall I have to live up to my username!). It has been difficult, I must say, but I feel so great when I make progress. There's also a whole bunch of Japanese media that can keep my interest unlike French, which I'm mainly learning as I live in Canada and it's helpful for employment.

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.

Thirded?? Thirded 

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.

Wow, so you're much further along than I am! I just started a few months ago. How long have you been learning?

I have a totally different VR experience than that.

Every single game but one I have tried on the VR so far has been totally meh. I cant even remember what the game was named I enjoyed but it was a platforming game in the vein of Banjoo Kazooie on the PSVR. That was fun for about 15 minutes, then it got old.

VR at this point is a total gimmick. Hope it fades in to nothingness until it's really good on the homestage, which is likely still a few years away.
