You should listen to a more open varity of the Japanese vocaloids though. ;-)

You also seem to be one of those lucky peeps who picks up languages better then most do. Can't say I'm not jealous though, I'm struggling with French as it is and thats often credited to be the closet language to English... I still preferred German and at 29, languages is a LOT harder to pick up. Its not that I didn't have french lessons growing up, it was I changed schools and ended up missing all the basics of French...

I can say for anyone wanting to learn a language; do it while your younger, its easier for youngsters to pick up languages then adults. *sigh* And difficult when you've learn one language already (german) to not keep thinking up that language above the one your suppose to be learning (I keep switching to German whenever I do counting in French). T_T

I must also admit, when I was trying to learn Japanese, it was harder a decade ago then it is now... Everything was new and a lot of the guys took the micky out of the anime fans who wanted to learn Japanese... Resource packs on the net existed but they were often not great at directing you at anything on the long term and were basic "teach you how to talk like a 8 year old Japanese kid". There was more emphasis to learn the random words method then actual language usage. :-/
