I'm hoping to start learning Japanese this year, I'm about to hit 26 in a few months and Its some ten years since i started wanting to learn japanese but always though "oh there's more time" now that I've officially hit quarter of a century I figured either do it or stop bitching, I did basically learn English simply watching movies but things are a lot easier when you're a child, you know? I'm watching the Irrashai series from PBS but I don't want to spend all my time just watching that one show, are there any shows or games you might recommend that would help me in my learning process? I am into anime but I don't wanna learn Japanese as an animated twelve year-old girl would speak it. and Games, Well I just don't know what to choose from, should I start with something for early ages like pokemon or are there games that are more targeted at those who are not yet familiar with the language?
I have one of those wacom tablets so if you know of any programs or apps that utilize the tool to teach you hiragana/katakana please post.
I hope someone here has an answer because the imageboards side is full of fucking retards who only know to say "go to college" like its a possibility for everyone.
