[QUOTE="Neil.T, post: 598723, member: 4160"] Ah, you're very welcome, dude. It's really nice when someone takes an interest in the little details of something they're interested in, so it's the kind of thing that really deserves a proper reply. 🙂 I mistyped the name of the Aussie distributor in amongst all of that, but I've fixed it now. 😆👍 I... know [I]enough[/I] for it to be somewhat useful, but I don't know anywhere near as much as I'd [I]like[/I] to, if that makes sense. It's just self-taught verbal Japanese for the most part: I can only read phonetics and a small handful of kanji, and I can't even write phonetics, because reading and writing are apparently two very different things! 😅 I first started learning in late 2011 but haven't made the conscious effort to advance beyond where I am now. Understanding some Japanese is still very satisfying, though. It's a wonderful language, as you doubtless already know yourself. 🙂 Also I hope you'll enjoy [I]The Tatami Galaxy[/I]. That one's a big favourite of mine. [/QUOTE]
