these shopping services – that's so cool

As for Japanese lessons, there are many online free lessons that teach you grammar and structural rules. These people maybe good at things like that because that's the way they learned it. But how about me? I never ever care about structure when I use Japanese because that's my mother tongue. I can speak without thinking about its grammar. In that way I may not good at teaching you grammatical things, and people who leaned Japanese as a second language would do a better job than I do, I guess…(>_<;) So I'll try to find out something unique, something right from Japan, and by a native Japanese speaker.

Thank you for your opinion.

As for learning Japanese – I would love to learn more – well, actually ANY since the only Japanese I have learned is from Japanese films and TV shows – oh and from cooking. But I know nothing about sentence structure or grammatical rules etc.

At one point I was going to try to learn Mandarin but I just didn't have the fortitude. I'll just go to Hong Kong – I know they speak English there!

I know many Japanese do not speak English though so I must learn before I go to Japan. I still have time since I will need to save so much money for shopping at all the great toy stores!
