RE: I think I'll learn Japanese
Sweet! Watching a lot of the content is a great head start - Japanese is much easier on the ear than Chinese as well.
We were just watching 'Up on Poppy Hill' last night, thats a Studio Ghibli movie - highly recommended their whole collection is, although you've probably seen them!
I found any foreign language to be equally difficult with regard to listening. After some training I can make out syllables and generally spell things out using a romanized form, but I'm still hit or miss on tying what's said to what it means in any language other than English.
Chinese is probably the one I understand (aside from English) the best when it's spoken. Even though I had three years of Spanish in high school.
Edit: I've seen quite a bit of Studio Ghibli, but I don't think I've seen that one...
One of the greats!
