Genki books are common textbooks for most college, but I preferred the Japanese textbook I got from my Japanese school.

All else fails, go get Japanese for Dummies. I think it's a fun book to read.

Oooh. I'd love to learn some Japanese in my spare time. I guess I could put on my Fullmetal Alchemist DVD without subbed or dubbed.

Speaking of which, do you like anime?

I don't know any helpful things, but I'm going to check back here for other people's responses too.

Thanks BD, I'll look those up.

Speaking of which, do you like anime?

Yeah, I like it. Though I'm not fanatic about it or anything. I don't really know the names of any anime shows, but when people give suggestions, sometimes I'll watch episodes online to see what they're about.
