Hello there! I started being interested in Japanese in high school, with the animes (like a majority of people!) I made a Japanese friend who was at my high school for a few years before heading back to Japan, and in college I took an immersion course for a year before having to drop out. I’ve gone back and forth between a few programs like Rosetta Stone and some smaller phone apps, but none of them really stuck with me. I’m trying to find a speaking partner so perhaps we can exchange hours of language conversation (One hour in Japanese, one hour in English), but I’m not sure where to start!

EDIT: I want to learn the language so I can read books an watch movies and converse with my Japanese friends. I have an open invitation to go to Japan and I’d like to not be the giant foreign woman who can’t speak the dang language!

I tried to look into Wanikani, but the website is just a splash page for me…am I missing something?

(also I found the thread on setting up Anki, which I don’t know what that is yet, but I’m sure I will soon ;D)
