Well you should try learning the letters first. I learn Japanese for 6 years now and I've been in a few Japanese conversations. You should be okay after learning the three writing systems - hiragana, katakana and kanji :D

Meeting new people never hurt. If they happen to have similar interests as me then that's a plus. Made this place a pretty good spot lol

Eight doesnt have an "H" sound. Its more "ate". Fail.

Every time a new Smash bros character gets announced I get pretty excited. Seeing the addition of Cloud is pretty cool. The original pokemon games being available for download with wireless trading and battling is awesome. I can have some Gen 1 competitive battles with my friends now. Any info on Fire Emblem Fates is much appreciated. What I'm actually most excited for is the new Wii U bundle coming out on Black Friday. I don't usually participate in Black Friday, but having a bundle with Smash Bros and Splatoon is probably going to get me to finally buy a Wii U. The price is supposed to be around $250 too which sounds really good being that Splatoon and Smash are both $60 right now.

Jup the more people the better! Hi hi thanks for the welcoming! \•o•/

$20 card for $18, $10 for $9, etc. I just ordered a 50$ card for 45$, free shipping, so I pretty much got a future game for 5$ off. http://stores.ebay.com/officialbestbuy/_i.html?_nkw=nintendo+eshop&pub=5574654247&toolid=10001&campid=5337565260&customid=23igndd&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.ebay.com%2Fofficialbestbuy%2F_i.html
