    Uh... what purpose does this Japanese glossary actually achieve? It's like it's a how-to guide on being an idiot weeaboo.

    Seriously. The last non-Japanese person I heard saying "YATTA!" got backhanded. You cannot learn Japanese from anime.

    I third Suis's and Crashman's opinion.

    It took me almost 2 years to learn most of the Japanese language and I am still learning. With this in mind, I can tell you that 80-90% of this guide will NOT be helpful to people watching anime or wanting to learn the language.

    Also adding "Baka" to the "essential" word list made it lose even more credibility as a guide. :X

    If you REALLY want to learn the language or even just watch anime without subtitles, try Rosetta Stone and/or Pimsleur learning tools. It may take a while to learn the language, but at least you will learn the language.

    As much as this guide would be useful for people. I have to admit that YOU CANNOT LEARN JAPANESE FROM ANIME.

    Tofugu dude from youtube does a pretty good explanation as to why.

    Oh, come on... do many people even claim that they know Japanese solely from watching anime anyway?

    If you don't find anime helpfull for learning japanese then that is your problem. I find them very educative and I've learned a lot from them. I made this guide to understand anime rather than learn japanese

    Your friends "Claim" they know Japanese, do they even understand sentence structure? Suffixes and Prefixes? Japanese is a very complex language simply because its not like English, its sentence structure is far different and the Suffixes and Prefixes can change what you mean very quickly. If you really want to learn Japanese I suggest a Tutor and programs like Rosetta Stone or something like the Japanese Coach for DS.

    my friends don't ''claim'' to know japanese. They did in fact learn it from watching anime and studying

    Crashman, I think the admins need to do an IP check on us since I think we are the same person. :X

    Right, sure. And I can learn Korean from studying the characters. That makes no logical sense at all.
