  1. "Don't let the cat out of the bag."- Don't reveal the secret you heard.

    "There's more than one way to skin a cat."- Honestly I can't wrap my head around this one, I believe it means there's more than one way to do something?

    I'm not sure what's up with the obsession with animals that we have. The second quote also disturbed me the first time I heard it. Expressions are very strange.

  2. I'm actually quite interested in learning ASL. I feel as though it'd be very useful and fun. I was actually learning some awhile ago, but I lost motivation. A website I would use constantly for ASL was Signing Savvy. I'd also Youtube videos and look for comments from people who knew ASL well, so I could understand a little about how sentence structures work in sign language.

  3. I've watched anime just about all my life, so I've been hearing Japanese since I was very young. I've also always wanted to have at least one language I could speak other than English. So, I suppose it came natural to me to try to take on Japanese as a second language. I still constantly hear it all the time through anime. I also find the characters to look very cute and attractive. The pronunciation of the words comes easier to me, more so than other languages.

  4. I quit just about every time I get started. I always go back, though. I'm currently studying Japanese. I think one helpful aspect is that even when I'm not studying Japanese, I will be watching anime. So, it at least I'm still hearing and seeing Japanese even when I'm not studying it myself.

  5. Hello everyone,

    I've just recently signed up to this forum. I'm currently studying Japanese through Rosetta Stone. I'm a beginner and I've been having trouble staying with it. I really do want to learn a second language. I feel as though knowing a second language can really add a lot to life. So, hopefully someday I'll be able to have enough motivation to study more diligently.
