The Japanese language is very complicated, especially the hieroglyphs But I still managed to learn a few conversational catchwords and phrases.

So I might soon be doing a freelance project writing the material for an introductory Japanese course! For others who have studied it before - or even people who haven't - what would you expect to be the score of a course like this

Oh, that was actually a typo. I meant to say scope.

Anyway, I think you pretty much answered my question. It's interesting that you mentioned a few specific situations. I'll try to think about how to incorporate that kind of thing.

really wanted to learn the Japanese language, reading the comments here made me decide to pursue it.

That's great, romp! Let us know if you want pointed towards any good resources, I'm sure we've got a fair few between us.

It's weird watching Japanese animes translated to English.

Having spent some time in Japan, I know a few...VERY few words of the language, but I prefer watching Japanese Anime with subtitles... I feel as though I get the sense of emotion (?) from the original words and get the gist of the dialogue in the subtitles.. I have watched a few of my anime in English and it just doesn't feel (?) right...

When I see a subtitle wording that gibes with Japanese words that I am familiar with, I get a feeling of warmth/gladness in hearing the familiar words , etc...

Best that I can explain it...
