So, i notice i'm kind of starting to really pick up on a lot of what's being said in anime lately. It's kind of weird, especially since i don't usually pay much attention to what is actually said. Maybe i should actually put some effort into learning it?

On Japanese, I'm almost halfway to where I am with Spanish. I can often kinda guess what's going on from what's being said before reading the translation, but ask me to string together more than a simple phrase and I couldn't manage. Then again, I really do pay attention and try to learn words here and there. If you haven't been trying, you may have a pretty decent aptitude for the language.

I say do it.

Just try not to end up like Piro on Megatokyo(he learned his Japanese from mangas/anime/visual novels that featured girls as the main character, so his Japanese tends to favor feminine versions of words).

I actually tried to teach myself japanese years ago, but quickly gave up realizing it would be a lot of work, so i've slightly more than just what i hear in teh animes (though not much more). I don't know. I think i might start actually paying attention more to what's being said for the next few months, and see how much more i can pick up. It's only been ~2 months really since i really started watching anime seriously, so i'm kind of surprised how much i've picked up (which isn't really a lot, but kind of a decent amount).
