Im taking Japanese classes at school, have Japanese friends, and reading/listening Japanese at home everyday.

First thing you should do when you want to learn Japanese is know katakana and hiragana. Those arent that hard, yet very important. Get a Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionary. Getting a book might be a good idea, if you have no other source. But you gotta commit lots of time to it. btw, any special reason why you want to learn Japanese? That decides what kind of book you would want to get.

Aw, your welcome, Miguel! (^^)
Okay. So, is there a certain book to learn katakana and hiragana? There's really no special reason, I just want to learn and if I get the PS2 from japan and videos from japan I'm going to have to know how to read japanese anyway, right? =D

Will someone please tell me what a dating sim is exactly I mean yes a dating Simulation but what is it!?

Thanks.

Yea I am one who play games the shoot a lot, and other stuff like that... that is why I dunno what a dating sim is...

[Shiinigami]

Dating sims are basically like this. You, as the main character, interact with other people [mostly girls] and try to find your special person. Or you can try to be a pimp and get all the girls yourself. ^^ Depends on each games. Some have more things to that, such as parameter status, or giant mechs.


If you buy a beginner Japanese book, its most likely to have those charts in it.

A 'Dating Sim' game is a type of role-playing game where the player takes on the part of high school student that, while trying to balance school work, athletics, grooming and whatnot, randomly meets some of the girls ( or guys in my case XD ) going to the school. The circumstances of each girl are different, and the player has to decide who to try to play for; the ultimate goal being that, upon graduation, receiving a confession of love from his girl or whatever. A successful pairing usually means the "winning" the game, though 'victory' may not always be what the player aims for, mainly if the player did not win the girl they desired.
So, it's complicated and yet they are soooo much fun to play! >o<

EDIT: Whoops, I guess Shiini posted before I did...oh well. ^_^V
