This is so true! I haven't managed to learn Japanese fluently (haha I am still waaaay off), but for FFXI I started learning some rudimentary phrases and stuff to communicate beyond the auto-translate.

But anyway when I first introduced myself with Japanese he was like !!!! [wall of Japanese text]. Hahaha.
