This has me super depressed about how little Japanese I can remember after several years of study. Gunna have to get back to it in earnest one of these days, I swear
I also am learning French, but it's a lot easier to find francophones. Japanese speakers are kind of rare, but Achaea has a pretty diverse userbase, so I thought I'd ask!

漢字をたくさん学びましたか? I've only learned about 500 or so (using WaniKani) and I can barely read the little kids' newspaper.
Personally, I speak English, hillbilly, American sign language(one in particular), some Spanish, and a little ebonics. I assumed the first post was a request of some type, so I rolled with it. Sorry. ..
I can also sign (American Sign Language, Pidgin and SEE although I'm rusty on all accounts). My goal once upon a time was to become a special education teacher at the Michigan School for the Deaf. I still dream of completing Interpreter coursework.
I can answer a telephone, introduce myself, and ask "Hot, isn't it?" in Japanese; that is all I retained from hosting a foreign exchange student years ago anyway. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and worked at a Hispanic organization for years - I can read it better than I can speak it though.
Just not a verbal language person, I guess! I'd love to learn to read Japanese though!
I wouldn't call myself fluent, but it hasn't been through lack of trying! I was studying it before I ever saw much anime - and while I didn't understand the whole thing you wrote, I didn't use an IM translator to read the kanji in the title of this thread: Sun, root - that's Japan - the next kanji means language. Ooh! And the last one means talk. I can read the kana, but since I'm never sure which kanji is pronounced how in a given context, they don't help me. The other kanji means person.
I took about three years of Latin and a year and a half of Japanese and cannot remember a damn thing of either of them.
This is unfortunate since I end up playing imports on occasion and I know just barely enough to stumble through some of them (like Order of Ecclesia), but not enough to enjoy them (like ASH) :<
I really need to pick up my Japanese books again and start poking friends who did keep up with it...

Edit: That wrong-word thing I do.
I feel this is relevant
