Good for you man.. I guess I'm ashamed to say I've been going to Japan since I was a kid in the late 70's, and I still barely know a lick of japanese lol   Fwiw, I always relied on my sister who is fluent. 

@GoldLeaderYeah I use Japanese at work and stuff. No choice, as there are only like 6 people in the entire company that can do English, including myself. I am far from fluent, and there are frequently instances of things that I can understand but not actually read since I don't know the meanings, but this happens to Japanese people as well, so it is actually somewhat normal. I can't talk about like science stuff or political stuff or most other technical things, but I was able to talk about game development stuff with Uemura-san from Toaplan when I met him earlier this year, so I guess I might not be all that bad.

I just play Styx alot.
