Kanji is a freakin headache!

大麻<BR> Marijuana? Ew... <BR> Agg... I took a Chinese language history class. Didn't pick up any new words because I find Mandarin so hard to pronounce. Wished the taught Cantonese at my college. Very rare though... Maybe eventually tackle Mandarin... one day.

There is a plugin for Firefox called Rikaichan as well, which is a dictionary plugin that will give you the definition of Japanese words you come across on the computer as you scroll over them with the mouse. It's very useful!
