Learning Japanese

Hey! It's been a while since I last posted. For the past few days I've been trying my best to study Japanese and so far I'm not doing so good. There's just so many Kanji to remember that I don't even know where to start. Grammar wise it's okay but it takes some time to remember what this and that stuff is for. I guess its better than me playing video games all day :P Anyway, this is just going to be a short post and I'll dump my list of vocab here just cause saving at the notepad turns all the Japanese characters into question marks which is weird lol
