I’d like to do this. I took a class in high school and was the top of my class, but I started missing days and so I’d miss lessons, yet I still knew more than almost all of (except for two) the kids in my class. My new teacher even said that I was still really good and that I should continue on with my education in Japanese. I wish I would have listened. That was 2 years of wasted time that could have been spent learning Japanese. I LOVE Japanese music and can even sing whole songs in Japanese. I’ve still retained the ability to read hiragana/katakana and say my name and etc, but I’m not fluent.
