Hey, I am learning japanese. I learned it a longtime ago but I dicided to catch up on it. I changed alot of my thing to japanese, including Opera and some of the windows things. I need a good tutorial so I can relearn it. If anyone has learned it, is learning it, or wants to learn it and know some good tutorials.

Yes, I've been doing the same thing for the past couple of months as well; after 8 years of not using Japanese, I've forgotten nearly the whole language...
Take a look for some torrents for "Pimsleur" and "Japanese"...you'll get some *VERY* useful things there.
So...how's the progress Swivel?
I've always wondered (sorry if I'm intruding on the topic) what a Japenese Keyboard looked like. [blatant sarcasm]Are there 2000 or so keys? [/blatant sarcasm]
There's either some kind of shortcut system to build chars or it uses the phonetic character set...

Italian is pretty simple tbh, because in Italy, every hand motion could represent a word....It's like they were deaf at some point in their lives.

Yes and you're late to the party 
SO..........you still learning?
Nope. Taught myself a good bit of it but I've forgotten since then
I'm a deutsch-bag now
Nice, German is a fun language, it's cool to see what it does and does not contribute to English and by extension where the Romance languages filled in instead of it.
I've recently become all weaboo and the like, so I'm thinking about learning some actual Japanese. I'd like to play some Visual Novels, you see, and no one bothers to translate them, so learning to read Japanese (and to look up kanji) is the only way to go.
