Thanks for the advice, really, only ..lol I'm out of college, at art school at the moment, and i don't really have a clue what rotary is, and at the moment it seems like any sort of exchange thing doesn't seem possible. I have manga I've bought, like Jump Weekly and odd things that caught my eye, yet I still rely pretty heavily on the ol' furigana. It's really odd how finishing formal education has driven me to want to learn languages more than when I just didn't pay attention in Spanish class.
Oh, for someone who has a good understanding of the language, would you mind clearing up a noob question i have that none of the textbooks seem to address.
What does it mean when at the end of a sentence there is
だろ（だろう）
やろ （やろう）
I'm assuming this is some conversational thing, seeing how I encounter it alot whilst reading mangoids. One last thing, seeing as how you've seemed to rather well conquered the language, how did you find the best way to learn kanji? rote? heisig? haha.. no really, what's the most effective way?
Hope the interview goes well--あなたは月語よこしてますね。
