I'm attempting to self learn Japanese as well. Glad I finally got the "senpai" or "sempai" problem fixed. "M" is actually written "N" in front of "A", "B", "P" and "M". I still have a looong way to go! Not to mention with kanji... -I'm studying all these in Italian mixed with English?!- (●__●)
PS. Somehow I'm getting annoyed with the same music all over again...
