Hey that would be real useful...I always wanted to learn japanese....The only word i 've learnt so far is "ohio" which means "good morning"(and that too from animes O_o)

I now few words and i can write little bit katakana.
First word what i learned was "baka", that means "fool"

Wow u can write those weird squiggly lines the japanese people put up?Awesome...
That reminds me..What does "suteki himitsu" mean...
Ps:i really want to learn japanese fast now and have learnt two more words..."mou ikai" means "one more time" and "jibun" means "please"

the first word i leaned to write (in katakana,hiragana and rõmaji) was
kõri (it means ice)but i wanto learn how to write it in kaji too
PS:if you didint know there are 4 vocabularys at japan

"suteki himitsu" means "miraculous secret"

4 vocabularies???Man thats gonna be even harder to learn.....Damn D:

Don´t worry, it ain´t so bad.
3 of those vocabularies aren´t so hard to study.
Just in case i introduse these vocabularies:
1. Romaji - you can write Japanese without knowing Japanese writing. Many Japanese can read Romaji, though the Japanese do not use it to write, unless they are writing for foreigners.
2. Hiragana:

3. Katakana:


The most difficult vocabulary is Kanji. there are more than 40 000 characters. However, many kanji are not necessarily used in daily life.

In Japan children first learn hiragana and katakana, then from grades one to six, the 1006 'Education Kanji' characters.

Here you can find 80 kanji characters that are taught in grade 1 at Japanese schools: http://japanese.about.com/library/blkodgrade1.htm

I think now everyone should have some kind of imagination about 4 vocabularies, what you can find in Japan.

Whoa thanks man.....Those languages are supposed to be interconnected though right....I mean like how do the japanese people know which language to use when talking to someone....(wow i just confused myself while writing all that....Good luck making sense with what i just said :S)

well i kinda anderstood your point

I recently found some more links, what can be useful, if you are learning Japanese:

Japanese for anime lovers
Free Translation

A way that helped me a lot was just watching anime, picking out keywords and writing them down, so far i have about 5 pages of A5 full of phrases that are used a lot, plus Rossetta stone is great but takes a while
