  • 03:03:10 Hey all. I haven't been on in a while so the 'new' formatting of the webiste (which looks really spiffy) might not actually be 'new'. Anyway, I'm planning on going to Japan in about 2 years, and have been studying Japanese for almost 3 years. I and proficient enought for Japanese 2 in high school. Any tips?
