I might pull out my L'Arc~EN~Ciel cds and get the booklets out to see if i can't translate them.

This thread is so amazing!
It could really help me improve on -my- japanese.
One technique that I find helps with specifically kana is using flash cards.
Or use index cards and play a sort of memory game.
One way that could help is to remember the kana itself is trying to relate the kana with a latin letter or number.
But after a while, you would want to stray away from that so you can try to remember it yourself.

I only know about 75% of the basic hiragana, and I haven't even started on the katakana yet :P

[Demonskid]

xD I got my kana down though some of the katakana gets confusing at times. After memorizing the stuff to some extent, reading kid stories really helps :3 I have a link up there some where to a site with some.

I'm scared to learn kanji...
I know that most people will put hiragana next to kanji, in the case that people don't understand it...
So that reassures me xD
When I go to college, I may take a Japanese class in order to go over anything I may have missed when teaching myself :3

[Demonskid]

I'm trying to find a Online School that I can afford XD
Kanji.. I'm learning that little by little xD going by what grade schoolers learn first. >3

That's what I'm doing with just about everything xD
Just listening to toddler songs, constantly repeating hiragana until it gets into your head.
Yeah, that works :D
Maybe you could help me sometime, you seem more advanced in it than I am :3

[Demonskid]

xD I'm not advanced at all.

Coda suggests that translating Lyrics helps people learn :3 it does help

that and I play some japanese games by emulators >.>,

That does help a lot :3
I know a lot of catchy and popular japanese songs.
But I've noticed that, of course, those songs use slang and skip some grammar, as most songs do.
So what I am doing is just learning it all, -then- learning slang xD

[Demonskid]

Yea the slang will probably get to me later on too..

I did a reverse translation for my siggy xD the theme song for Kamen Rider Wizard, i couldn't find the Kanji Lyrics so what I did was take the romaji and english translation and make the Kanji my self ouo

[Squid]

I have never heard of that before :o
What is it?
And also, on the topic of japanese games, I saved up money for a Super Famicom, and it comes next week :3
I am so excited, though I don't know which games to get.
But I'm hoping that it will help me understand it all a little xD

[Demonskid]

I've played Okami Den japanese and some of the newer pokemon games in japanese xD

Kamen Rider?

[Squid]

Awesome :3
Yeah, I know a few Nintendo consoles that have games in both english -and- japanese, so I may just buy some of those.
And Kamen Rider looks pretty cool xD

[Demonskid]

I really gotten into Kamen Rider a lot lately.

I also watch a lot of anime too. That helps figuring out grammar. Anime, Japanese Dramas, Music and Games.

[Squid]

Ooh, me too :3
Which animes have you watched?
I have only ever seen Death Note (In japanese), Ouran High School Host Club, Clannad, and a few others...
I'm not -obsessed- over anime xD
