If anyone is interested in learning some Japanese, I can put what I've learn in this topic ^_^

But since I can't double post, people need to reply in order for me to post something new  :P

I can't read Kanji, and I dun know Katana quite yet. I can read Hiragana fine... but I don't know how to type it so I can't.

Buy a Japanese keyboard.  :P :laugh: :?

Barring the couple-hundred-dollar investment in one of those, have the Japanese Language Pack installed (if it isn't already) and enable it with these instructions: http://greggman.com/japan/xp-ime/xp-ime.htm  It's a PITA to use but it gives you access to kanji and both 'kana.

(thought I posted this before ...?)
