Thanks wiimaster, for getting my mind running, you always have these cool ideas that a ton of people like (unlike ben2, no offense).
So, I'm trying to learn Japanese (I have an iPhone app and stuff) and I can't do it by myself. I need help from the community! If you speak Japanese, you can help contribute! Watch my progress as I slowly progress to learn Japanese (to the extent where I can speak it semi-well.) I speak Chinese, so reading Kanji will be easier for me.
My Progress red=uncompleted green=completed
5%-Finish Hiragana
10%-Finish Katakana
25%-50 words/phrases, count to 100
50%-100 words/phrases
75%-have correct grammar when speaking, 125 words/phrases
100%-150 words/phrases, know stuff...
I will change and modify this checklist as I go along...
Also, please correct anything wrong and contribute!Database

a k g s z t d a あ か が さ ざ た だ i い き ぎ し じ ち -- u う く ぐ す ず つ -- e え け げ せ ぜ て で o お こ ご そ ぞ と ど
If you could help/contribute, that'd be great!
I am planning on making this into a guide, too! So, helping would be useful!

Yes.
Actually, I just found out I made a mistake. Chu is 'squeak'
So it is Sparkling Squeak.

Kanji and Chinese are a little bit different...
(By the way, I speak Chinese too.)
