Please Help My Poor Soul
I REALLY want to learn Japanese, but I don't know where to start. And I tend to learn things best when I have some type of mentor/"teacher" to look up to. Sadly, though, I haven't been able to find anyone- at least anyone who is willing to go the full distance with me.

At this rate you can try to watch you...... 1 reply
