i want to learn japanese but i am confronted with three different choices (for the caligraphy, i think): 'Kanji/Furigana', 'Kanji', or 'Hiragana & Katakana'

which do i choose and why? advantages and disadvantages of learning each? thank you :)

>>	Sakura !!sCKns1iPkwx Mon Apr 20 16:16:05 2009 No.2459565 The Japanese don't really use Kanji or Kana anymore, they've been moving towards Romaji so that's what you should stick with.

Hey WhiteRen, do you remember the booklet or did you pirate the game? The booklet was about as awesome as the StarCraft one, which was already gorgeous..

I used to love Homeworld. It was such a perfect package, everything about it was done right.

Bought the first one, pirated the second one. Never beat the second one. My brother took my copy of the first game, so I ended up having to get an ISO and a keygen.

And nobody makes good booklets anymore, if they include one at all. Game creators these days have no imagination, and never make good supporting material.

I blame EA Games for setting an evil standard.
