Yes, there is that guy who learned from his girlfriend, but first we need to worry about whether it's Japanese or not. You need to build the house of Japanese first. The color of the tablecloth in the dining room (i.e. the gender style of speech) can wait till last. Interestingly, in the TV drama ケイゾク, the head of the investigative section, a middle-aged man, has a young (20-something?) girlfriend. And, because of all the time he spends with her, his speech at work sometimes has inappropriately youthful or feminine slang and 語尾...but...why am I telling you this? Anyway, build the house first. When it's time to pick tablecloths, because you know Japanese, you'll know what color to pick.

As in English, there are speech forms/styles that are primarily masculine and primarily feminine, but, there is also a healthy middle ground. Masculine speech in Japanese is mostly grunts (ああ,おう, 別に）; feminine speech is mostly squealing (わー！すーーーーーごーーーーーい！, 日本語上ーーーーーーーー手ううう！, ありがとうございますううううう！）. Both are stoopid, IMHO. As a girl, just stick to 私 and limit the number of ぞs and ぜs in your 語尾s and you're golden. [Having said that, in certain dialects, both men and women use 俺 8) ]. Anyway, enough theory! Let's all quit worrying and listen to the show! No need to bracket or limit your Japanese...just focus on enjoying yourself. I mean, even if one were to have the wrong gender speech style, which you won't, but even <em>if</em> you were to pick it up, on a scale of 1 to 10, Japanese that has native-like accent and word usage but the wrong gender still earns a 9. There are tomboys and 僕少女 in Japan, too. @Rin

When you sell something over amazon, amazon credits you $3.99 for regular shipping. So these people have some way to ship very cheaply, and make money off of the shipping credit Amazon gives them. I don't know if there's a way to bundle used things from the same user for saving shipping costs, but typically since you will buy each item individualized you will pay shipping cost times how many items you buy. So the 1 yen used mangas would be great if you could buy a ton of them and pay 500 yen shipping for them all, but I think you have to pay the shipping for each of them so it's just cheaper to buy it used at the bookstore (or get it new for the same price...)

Did it ever happen to you? Everytime it happens, it inspires me to go further and then comes my brother to watch TV **CONFLICT**. Also, about my english, I think you may not remember but I said it was due to many subbed movies, songs and will to speak english. As that kind of material here is almost if not free(on TVs and Radios), I just had to get my ears working and my eyes pointing to the right textual input. But with japanese, it’s been a little more difficult, though not impossible, for example, I managed to get 333 MB of japanese music and some GB of anime. That’s why I’m going for it. It’s my dream since I was 8, damn it. It’s not too late although I’m 19 by now, right? Well, see you. Just wanted to say some more things like:
