I got my bachelor's degree in Japanese and studied it constantly for many years and I'm still not fluent. Seriously, it takes a lot of work (studying, practice, and actually living and being immersed in the country and culture) to be truly fluent. Some people have a gift, though, and can easily pick up new languages; I read it has something to do with some part of the brain that is more developed in some people than others. Of course, the younger you start learning, the better.

My Japanese Coach is a pretty fun game, but it won't make you fluent by any means. I think it's a good introduction to the language, but nothing beats learning a language in a classroom environment (in my opinion). The game is just for fun and to learn basic language skills. If you want more, you're going to have to take a class or buy and study some good language books. Of course, living in Japan is probably the fastest way to pick it up, which not everyone can do or wants to do. : )

Just my two cents.

I'm thankful for having a loving family, a loving boyfriend, and a warm house to live in.

Gaming-wise, I'm thankful for my DS and PSP. :D I just LOVE Crisis Core! XD;; I am also thankful for the greatness that is Ouendan. :3

What is Namco thinking? They need to leave Klonoa's design as it is. They did so in the other games released here, so why are they even considering a redesign? It doesn't make any sense. The redesign is a little cute, but it is NOT Klonoa and is not nearly as original as Klonoa's adorable design.

If it's not broken, don't fix it! Leave Klonoa's design ALONE!! >_

I would have to say the American version of Mega Man 3. It's the box art I remember the most from my childhood. :D Plus, Mega Man didn't look so... dorky.

Probably Chuck Rock. That was our first game besides Sonic for the Genesis back in the day. :D

I haven't done crosswords for quite a while, even though I love them. This game sure would be awesome. :D

Wow... I can't even remember. XD;; I used to love doing crossword puzzles. I would guess I haven't done one in about three years. How sad... : ( I do watch that Crosswords show on TV sometimes, though. XD;;

Piplup for the win. :D

Once again, Piplup all the way! :D

Awwwww... not many Piplup lovers on here. T_T Ah well... Piplup FTW! XD
