Honestly though, when I first started trying to learn Japanese wayyy back when I was 11, I was trying to learn it off anime XD I used to be such a weeaboo back in the day because I'd always be yelling "You're kawaii desu senpai" and so on, and I made such a fool of myself, haha. Those were some terrible times in my life, I'm glad I actually started learning it properly with books and resources.
