@sayakarosemaey, i have a question about japan..! o3o
in major cities, would basic knowledge of japanese words and phrases get you far at all..? my school doesn't (and is extremely unwilling) to provide a japanese language course, so it's all been self study (...between you and me, i procrastinate a bit cuz i can't concentrate well q3q).. but i was hoping if i went to japan someday, it'd help me excell at least a little in the study; but would i need prior knowledge of a lot, or just basic things?
