Probably the most important thing for learning a language is immersion, and since I'm in Japan and learning Japanese, that's obviously not much of a problem. Still, there are various things you can still make sure to do to help yourself along, such as watching TV in the language you're trying to learn. I usually don't watch TV either in America or in Japan, but I have been known to download and watch Japanese TV dramas in my spare time...

There's a drama I'm watching now that just finished airing in Japan around two months ago, called 花ざかりの君たちへ　（Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, meaning "in full blossom for you all" or something) is a story about a girl who pretends to be a guy so she can go to an all-boys high school to try to meet one of the guys there. Here's a shot of all the students at the school (click on it for a bigger image):


One of them is a girl. Which one?
