    Leaning Hiragana and Katakana is the easy part, but until you do that, you cant do much else. Start with hiragana. There are loads of good apps/sites for flashcard style learning of these characters. This is also a good site: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

      @pechelman I took Japanese for a year in university and that gave me the basic grammar and sentence structure. When I moved to Japan it was sink or swim as I lived in a rural area where nobody spoke English. I learned much faster when I was immersed in the language and culture and HAD to use it on a daily basis. I have forgotten some vocabulary and my grammar can be a little sloppy, but I can still get by pretty well. It also helps that my wife is Japanese 😉

          @WhiskeySandwich I don't think so, I think it's a chrome tanning, with wear it tends to whiten but maybe I'm not seeing the colour in the photo

            @Luijim78 I think it's a joke Luigi, I think it is plastic showing the white material underneath.....

                Just got back from a mini getaway where we were away for 3 days. Certain vacations require at least a week to make it worth your while but find coming back to reality from those trips brutal and need a full day to mentally prep Defoe getting back to the grind. This quick trip was great and a perfect recharge of the battery.

                Edit: was going to fix the auto correct from Defoe to before but would like to think William would approve.

                      One of the most refreshing vacations I’ve ever had was a weekend getaway without the kid. Second only to having someone watch our kid, the biggest single factor to the reset was being in the desert. Itching to go back soon. Beaches in theory are the most relaxing environments, but deserts hit different. Enchantment Resort, Sedona AZ.

                        @mclaincausey considering the current volume of your beard, that must have been a decade ago

                            @mclaincausey These things are usually subjective but not in your case. Current look is way awesomer vs 2022 McLain.

                                  lol thanks folks. I prefer to add long hair to get the full Dude effect but keeping it trim for now
