...come to think of it, I think I originally found this game when you praised its NPCs on CFUD. O_o small world it is.
I'm afraid I don't know enough kanji to decipher your icon yet! I only finished with the hiragana yesterday and I'm having more trouble keeping the kanji straight than the different kana.
What I'm mostly using it for is sound effects in manga! Because even if the speech is translated, the sound effects in the background usually aren't, or they're listed at the back or something impractical like that.
And, of course, should I ever start actually learning Japanese I'll have a head start. I have a book somewhere here on conversational Japanese admittedly, it's from 1930s Germany so I'm slightly dubious as to what phrases may turn up which doesn't do any kana or kanji so it's good I can learn these somewhere else.
