Please don't learn 100% of your Japanese from me! I'm a highly-experienced J-E translator and teacher of dance and theater, but a beginning level teacher when it comes to Japanese. It's also best to learn from a variety of sources (preferably native Japanese) and to hear the concepts explained by multiple people (again, preferably native Japanese). Here are some other great resources:
