^ if only japanese DVDs weren't so f***ing expensive... :shamefulcry:

EDIT: the same movie in the american version costs something like 5$ on amazon.com... the japanese DVD on amazon.jp at least 3500 yen... (~40$)

Yup, they are pricey... And no English subs (sometimes), to boot. :(

I'm learning and they help a lot after I've first watched the movie with english subs.
Then with Japanese subs, what I don't catch by ear I can read ...or the other way oround ...or, of course, the case where I don't understand neither of the two :mrgreen:

I've tried to learn off and on, but never made a real commitment. :ashamed:

It was off and on for me too.
But I've finally found a book that uses kanji from the very first lesson and vowed to to pick it up at least once a day (even if it's just for one exercise).
It's working and now that I've started watching jdramas, I'm constantly motivated: it's almost painfull to have to look on the subtitles instead of focussing on Juri-chan :doh:
