Also, For some people who speak English, they find it a hard at first to switch around the verb and object. Romance languages are mostly SVO so they find it easier. I tend to disagree though. Japanese has way less exceptions. Pretty much once you know it all other words conform (kind of like Japanese culture, no?). There's no such thing as subject verb agreement as English speakers know it (she and it GOES, but we and I GO). I find learning Japanese fun though. :lol: I think Japanese gets a bad rep in United States because we think everyone should speak english and bow down to us.

I'm getting back into the podcast during winter break from my college Japanese class, and it is helping me greatly for reviewing and learning new vocabulary. Keep up the great work!
