[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found that learning to read Katakana before my second visit made a big difference in terms of being engaged with my surroundings and being able to decipher some stuff on food menus--I was only mostly illiterate instead of fully illiterate. 20-30 minutes of study per day for a few weeks was enough to have it down pretty good.
