As I told you before, I'm using a series of books called "Japanese for Busy People", which promises to teach you "educated adult Japanese". It's quite good, though I have only used it in the context of a Japanese class, so I can't say exactly how good it is as a self-study book ( ... )

I was just about to steal your icons but I read something that said not to steal. Oh, well...

Anyway, according to someone I knew, for basics and usual conversation, he uses Japanese books to learn and as a few who knows the language. But according to my other friend, if you need to learn the language itself like a pro or something, you would need proper education of the language.

gomen, i make my own icons, plus they have my name on it :P

the lust for blood one *aka this points up* took me close to a whole day, and also the smile and todokanai one where a pain to do XDDDDD
sorry. i can make u one if ud like just ask ^^ i dnt mind that. just once someone took my icon and put it on a site without even credit and that really made me angry, so..
thanks for not taking though *hug*

on japanese... ohhh... well right now i have no intention of learning like a pro, just basic convo i think... no one teaches it where i live.. so if i want to learn it well i have to go abroad, and right now i cant really do that.
thanks loads for the precious info!

I'm in the same exact boat as you darling, I'm hopping up and down in a strange and unusual dance to learn Japanese, but there's no teacher in this no-man's land town in the Pochono mountains. >< In any case, Amythyst-sama, you DO know me! Sorta.
Yeah I did find you through a group, and you always commented on my entries that I posted up on gackt_daily. I got a new LJ so I definately wanted to add you, because I've made a comeback to LJ.
Do you remember...

Gackuto the Mighty, he's a total hottie, every woman wants him, he's so sexy it's a sin...

Yep, I did that entry many many moons ago.

Much luff!!! <33333

XD!! Well I definately will go to check out the book then, 'cause Japanese is...its beautiful.
And nope, I'm toonaddict280...my journal's still open I just havent updated it in over a year. Now I have this new one to play on! ^^ and dont worry about it I'm not morbidly offended or anything.

And I know the italian opening of Yu Gi Oh because I lived in Italy for three years. Granted, I left when the Pokemon craze was dying, a few weeks before Yu Gi Oh was going to begin airing in Italy, but I found the opening on Youtube and fell in love with it. So the extended version is sitting on my ipod as #4 on my Top 25. Yeah I'm kinda a loser....<3333
