I study Japanese because I want to read hentai manga which nobody cares to translate into English.
My study is strictly limited to understanding Japanese language, mostly written form, without any need to speak Japanese.
This poses some problems because all Japanese courses are focused on speaking while almost completely ignoring understanding of Japanese. To make matters worse instead of explaining stuff they just provide some shortcuts for "safe versions of sentences"
So I have to create my own learning methods as well.
My native language is not English and Japanese seems to be pretty close in grammar, but learning Japanese from English perspective is much harder.
