Speak Japanese

I must admit: my obsession with anime has led me to learn Japanese all over again. After my stint trying to speak Japanese a decade ago (there were also failed attempts at French, German, Chinese, and Tagalog [?!]), I've gone back into twisting and swirling my tongue like what you'd do when giving a girl a nasty oral--or to uhh a guy, but then that'd mean sticking your face on (in?) his ass. It's fun (not the licking part [well, it is but that's not today's topic]), especially if you're into simple conversational phrases which you'd normally hear from anime characters.

It's a bit troubling though. Especially when you're doing it on your own, learning a language seems to be a difficult task for some such reasons as--

• you wouldn't know how you'd sound like talking in Japanese until you say it out loud. If you do, others might think you're a nerdy dim-wit. Hiding in the john, trying to speak softly so that people won't hear you and think that you're a crazed lunatic sitting on the toilet (with the toilet cover down [and possibly your pants, too]) brooding on his next attempt to x in public.

I don't know how long it would take me to master Japanese considering that I don't have the equipment and the right notes--and most importantly, someone to practice with. Well, I guess some things are meant to done alone, huh?
