Just some advice of people who wanna learn japanese, and happen to come across here:

I highly suggest you learn katakana/hiragana before any romaji.

The romanized version of Japanese (Romaji) is compacted with rules, pronunciations, and sayings that the typical english person wouldn't understand. :\

You can learn two at the same time. Hiragana with its Roomaji would be best (depending on the person, of course) since it's usually used more than Katana. Although I'm not sure how you'll read Hiragana if you don't know the Roomaji if your main language is something else...

Kanji is more difficult though, but people will come to know that later.

In my opinion, you shouldn't learn romaji at all

Well, you can learn how to pronounce each kana...it would actually be simple. I still believe Romaji shouldn't be learned first, or as Geisha said: shouldn't be learned at all.

Unfortuately I didn't have that kind of option. My school sensei usually gives us roomaji to start off with when we first began learning.

Truthfully, I thought learning roomaji first was automatic. :?

anime words or terms I know:

sekai daikai = world tournament
jikai = next time
makai = demon world
seiju = beast
ken = sword
mamono = demon

Makafushigi = mystical
adobencha = adventure
Usagi = rabbit
chibi-usa = small rabbit

Very good.

"Mamono" is actually towards something of a goblin or an apparition, but it works just as well.

"Ken" is the common word for sword.

Can't say I'm too familiar with "seiju"... :-k
