I understand some Japanese. SOME. Probably fifty words, or something. I couldn't name them, though. If I heard them, I could tell you what they mean.
I wish I would have had more of a chance to immerse myself in Japanese culture while I was over there. Being on an American base, though, everyone there speaks English (of course), and outside the gates and in the town, pretty much everyone is fluent, or at least understands you. There was no need to even learn Japanese. I just picked it up here and there from living over there. Also, anime taught me a bit.
I always wished I would have taken some courses for it, though.
I <3 Language.
Storm, what ethnicity are you that you speak so many different Asian languages? (If you don't mind me asking)
