I really do want to learn japanese but I don't much have time. Can you suggest a place somewhere over the internet where I can learn japanese? Thanks a lot.

Do you want to learn it for a practical reason, or just to watch anime and play games?
well, I won't use it for just watching anime or playing games, but it's like adding something to yourself, doing new things. And besides, can't also stand the thought that I can't participate in translating japan-exclusive games that a lot of gbatempers want to play badly.
moreover, can't play or watch using japanese, i'd prefer english
i'm using rosetta stone mainly, but i also use textbooks and dictionaries if i'm not sure on anythingphoenixgoddess27 said:Well... Japanese requires patience. Without time, you can't really learn any language :/
yeah, and as I started, I already know what I'm dealing with...but I'll go with fully learning it as late as June.. I have nothing to do at summer anyway.

Also, look at the page http://genki.japantimes.co.jp/self/self.en.html, there is some stuff that can be learned without the need of help from other people (like the hiragana, katakana and kanji).
Hope it helps.
just got one...thanks for the help...

Learning foreign languages is extremely time-intensive. It'll take years at studying every day.

No, because it won't help much beyond learning the alphabets or some-such.
