Hm..
I just got done taking Japanese I at a college...
If you want, I could Scan and Email you the notes I took. ^__^;;
Though, though people say otherwise, I learned how to read and write Japanese through self-study starting in 4th grade.... which was about 8 years ago. xD;;;
So I've been studing for a while.
Learn Japanese - Japanese Language was a site that helped me quite a bit.
