I am currently studying Japanese Language using Pimsleurs Audio Tracks on my iPod.
I reached Lesson 20 of 30 on Level 1. There are a total of 3 levels to hear and practice. So you can imagine how long it will be before you can actually begin to communicate with your new acquired language.
Ever since I was introduced to the wonderful world of anime, I was facinated about every thing that has to do with Japan. That was about 10 years ago. I began collecting anime, reading manga, studying the language, grammar, Kanji and have even bought some books from amazon to help understand and memorize the kanji shapes.
Japanese culture is wonderful. In a very specific way, Japanese honor relationships and will do everything to make any conversation a decent and respectful event. There is alot to say in this topic, but I will just mention one example. When you ask a Japanese person about anything, he/she will do his/her best in answering back, and will appologize for not knowing the answer. Same goes if they want to decline your offer, or in general, have a different idea than what you have. Japanese wives cherish the marrige relation to thier husbands, and will devote their selves to serve and provide a peace of mind to their beloved spouses.
So far, I have only touched upon very little aspects of Japanese culture. There is many to come. And considering this is my second post, I would say that it is modestly long.
See ya... Very soon.
