I know Katakana and Hiragana and how to conjugate the verb for "to be," as well as the uses of the particles "wa" "ga" and "mo." Yeah ... I only got to Lesson 3 of Tae Kim's grammar guide.
Japanese was one of the languages I was really interested in learning for awhile, but I've sort of gravitated away from it in favor of a lot of African and central Asian languages.
