I don't know if you get cable in your area – gee, you must, since the QVC
shopping channel is based in West Chester – but there is a Japanese course
on the Mind Extension University channel. We have TCI cable here in
Madison, maybe it's peculiar to that conglomerate.
The nice thing about learning the Kanji is that the majority of them are
the same as the Chinese, although they are pronounced differently in each
language. This means you can go to a truly Chinese restaurant and realize
that the Chinese on the menu is as uninformative as menus I've seen in
Mexico, to wit: "Meat", "Soup", "Fish", without an additional word of
explanation. Also, you can now read "Do Not Eat" on the desiccant packages
you find in electronic packaging.
