no...i just want to learn it...the language and the colture interest me.
is it a sin?

I suppose some ppl want to learn aswell but don't have enough resource or means to learn. or some like me learn faster and better reading menual/guide in english, on the pc.

I prefer taking classes. There are certain things you just can't learn from studying by yourself. I found that out after taking a class.

No. the almight Haruhi states you will not burn in hell, and it is a virtue to be curious and open mindedness. Only boring, and ignorance is a sin.

there is many ways to learn, and the best way is always to start from the easiest. Thats katakana, you can easily learn them so you can read it, from there you can use online japanese dictionaries, and as long as you keep watching aniem you will start to pick it up. If your not in the hurry, take your time, enjoy it.
