Learning Japanese

I am. I'm learning as much as I can now. I've not made much progress with words, except I keep saying 'chuugokuu' and 'oosutoraria' out loud at random moments. I'm mainly trying tolearn to write it. So far, I've only learnt a few characters from two of the three alphabets; there's katakana, hiragana and kanji. I'm learning the first two. I think I'm doing ok - I can just about spell 'konnechiwa'. I've also been using an internet name translator, Keiichi Anime Forever, to translate people's names. I've done mine, and a load of other people's:

Isobel = Izoberu (ee - so - bear - roo)


Lily = Rairi (Raa - ear - ree)



Zak = Zakku (Zah - koo)


I've copied and pasted the names in katakana (because I know if Zak sees this, he'll like the smiley face in his name. Lily will just be pleased that she has a name in another language. Haha.

Oh, and also, just to acknowledge,
