						<p>It may sound brash, but I&#8217;m being completely honest.</p>
<p>You say that you do not like how it looks. If you do not like how it looks, tough baloney. That is why I&#8217;m saying 「乞食は選り好みできない」 because it sounds like you are choosing not to use it based on how it looks。There are many other sites like lang-8 but lang-8 is the most well known one. Using lang-8 gives people a proper mindset to give you corrections which you will most certainly get so unless you establish good friends on facebook and twitter, no one will care what you write. I write stuff in Japanese all the time on facebook and no one cares half the time about what I write and I barely use twitter. So lang-8 = friendly community ; facebook and twitter = usable only if you have good friends but even then, less reliable</p>
<p>It would be better if you started learning the kanji along with the hiragana and definition. Really, the whole &#8220;I&#8217;ll wait till I&#8217;m good&#8221; mentality puts me down. Because exactly when are you going to get good? You might as well dive head first into it and get used to it now, than being 3 months into your learning and finally seeing that にほんご is actually 日本語 or realizing that 感じ　and 漢字 is the same pronunciation but different meaning. </p>
<p>How are people supposed to know that you aren&#8217;t learning kanji yet? <b>Real Japanese doesn&#8217;t consist of only hiragana</b> so of course it is only natural that native japanese person will insert the kanji where they need to be. You say it like its a bad thing, &#8220;ughhh they put kanji in again, why can&#8217;t you just leave it in hiragana&#8221;. The way I see it, the less you use kanji, the more and more it is the same as lying to yourself. It&#8217;s great that you aren&#8217;t using romaji because you already know how the roman alphabet works. But once you know hiragana and katakana, you just have to move on. I don&#8217;t know what kinds of problem you might have with kanji or if you are learning at your own pace, but I highly suggest you start learning kanji immediately. I&#8217;m sorry that I completely disagreed with what you said but I would have done the same thing too if I were a Japanese person. I am also sorry if I&#8217;m being too straightforward because I really have no reason to sugarcoat things and say things like &#8220;oh poor you, the native japanese person didn&#8217;t go easy on you because you&#8217;re a beginner.&#8221; That is what I mean when I say 「この世はそんなに甘くない」</p>
<p> I&#8217;m sure the internet is big enough for you to see the difference between what I&#8217;m saying and what real trolling is like. If I really wanted to troll you, I would be saying stuff like &#8220;your japanese probably sucks and thats why you can&#8217;t use lang-8&#8243;.</p>
<p>But, if you really never want to come back again, that&#8217;s fine too. It&#8217;s a huge shame though, there are many people willing to help you here.<br />

						<p>I just want to say one thing to all of that&#8230; I don&#8217;t even know all of the hirigana yet I know absolutely NO Katakana yet, and I am learning what my college professor is telling me to learn at the moment so sorry if I do not go at your pace. </p>

						<p>Accepted. Nah I&#8217;m just here because this really bugged me. My goals are way too gradiose and time limited for me to prolong things that took me only a week or two. Other than wanting to get better, no one ever found out the second thing about why I wanted to leave Textfugu. If you look at my latest lang-8 journal, maybe you&#8217;ll find out why&#8230;.</p>
