AMERICA and JAPAN. The two USEFUL countries.

If you don't know either of those languages then you're not COOL enough for me to even want to talk to.

If you're just joking there, I laughed, gj.

If you're not...I laughed still, but for a different reason.



I'm currently learning Japanese in my spare time, I found a good program to help called Human Japanese 2.0, it's been very helpful, more than Rosetta Stone in my opinion and I've come across leaps and bounds since I first started using it, I'd recommend it to anyone serious about learning but not having the time or local resources to take classes.

"Human Japanese is Japanese language learning software that starts at square one and presents the Japanese language in a warm, engaging tone. "
something about this is a little creepy!
Sounds worth a try though, I like playing around with these things.

I know some basic phrases, and very basic word order and grammar, but this sounds pretty promising. I may give it a go.

Interesting, do they have it in any other languages?

I think if I could find something that taught Japanese with cute anime girls and Japanese voices I would learn much faster. Make them scorn you playfully when you mess up and cheer you when you do better.... I think a game like that would catch on like wild fire.

you could but then it might not be as marketable..... unless it was free then hey why not? Probably could make adult versions but I know lots of women who would want it too.

It's true, women who aren't just haven't figured it out yet.

Though, I would totally take a Japanese program with cute girls teaching me stuff.

Yes I think this should be the next game Four Leaf makes. They can even use the girls from this game.... of course then they would have voices for the girls.... some maybe a different game... or Katawa Shoujo 2...... possibilites.
