Daglo, when you get a chance would you mind giving a quick/short review of your experience with learning Nihongo online. I'm rather curious, and as you know would like to learn some day. Thanks buddy.
I am travelling through it very slowly due to time constraints, but I am very impressed.
Every word is linked to mp3 of its pronunciation, as is every phrase.
Using the full system, it gradualy introduces kana words which begin to replace all english words. Your vocabulary grows while you use the sight.
Its community is very very active, and there are three or four new videos each month.
The videos are very fun, informative, and help you get used to the sound of conversational Japanese. Developing that ear for the sound of the language, really helps while watching anime.
I haven't even tried the games, or other learning aids, and my understanding of the language has increased 100%.
I think its well worth the money.

Anyone who believes in UFOs, please explain to me why races of aliens with advanced technology are able to traverse huge tracks of space in seconds, but still can't manage to land on Earth without crashing?
