Learning katakana slowly but surely. Able to at least introduce myself as an international/college student. Had temaki sushi this past weekend at a party. Nothing really spectacular as far as moonrunes and moonspeech go.

    You'll know you've made and become a Real Person worthy of respect when you stop using the words "moon-" anything.

    Silence now, moonspeaker! Your moondialect of the moontongue isn't welcome here in our moonfree paradise.

    Your course teaches katakana before hiragana? That's... odd.

    @Mcjon01 - Well, katakana are used for loan words and the like. And this is just the intro level course - the intermediate course, afaik, focuses almost solely on hiragana.

    Intro level or not, you're supposed to learn hiragana first.

    This makes no sense. It is like trying to teach More Code before you learn the alphabet.

    Both hiragana and katakana should be finished by the end of an intro course -- you literally can't function without them!
