>>919 typing 'kyu', 'gyu', 'syu', etc will produce the small ゅ with the previous kana. 'xyu' produces it on its own.
Also, in some older Japanese text with furigana, the furigana doesn't have different sizes, so, 列車 might have れつしや instead of れっしゃ, for example.

because kunyomi are often so Japanese-y that they don't fit into mnemonics well. But go for it if you can.

Currently in the process of Japanizing my shiz. Finding new youtube channels in Japanese atm, and I'm looking for some good, entertaining gaming channels (all of the channels listed under the youtube games category are shit). Channels that have like shoutcast coverage for fighting games and what not would be awesome. Feel free to recommend Japanese music channels for rock/anime/techno type shit as well.
Does Japanese ever feel like you are actually learning something? I'm about week into Nihongo, Basically I've learned the first 25 Hiragana (memorized the shape and stroke order) learned basic greetings, self introduction, age, numbers up to 99 and asking Nihongo-de nanto immasu-ka, which I think is "how do you say that in Japanese" but fuck if I know, I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed and having trouble catching on to some meanings like the question i just mentioned, and I'm still not feeling like i'm learning anything, i feel like I just absorbed a bunch of random characters and a couple of simple words, when do you actually feel like you're starting to learn anything?

生放送 link at the top blue bar to the left. Enter a random stream. More stream links pop up at the bottom of the page when you're viewing a BC so you can go from there too to more random BCs.

I know we're not supposed to feed the troll but... you do know only one nuke was set off right? its your own (I assume you're american) history, learn it.

Not the point, autist. The point is that it needs to be nuked even more.

Would I learn much from trying to play Pokemon in Japanese? I gather they don't use kanji, so I'd be picking up vocabulary. But I'd have to pack it up with kanji later on; would I save time if I already knew some of the words from hiragana/katakana, or would I still take just as long?

There's a reason kids games are in hiragana.
Learning vocab is a lot easier (and more beneficial) than cramming kanji you have no reason to know or memorize before you can construct a sentence.
Any pointers on specifically how to pick up the vocab? Currently my plan would be simply to put sentences into anki so that I can get both a feel for grammar and vocab simultaneously?

な is a sentence ending particle that adds emotions and sentiment to the end of the sentence. Think of it as a personal ね that doesn't have anything to do with a partner.

If you know dick-all about grammar then I'd say get a pdf of Barron's japanese grammar book. Shit's on mediafire and will give you a good foundation.
