The main reason why I'm asikng is because I started teaching myself japanese about 20 years ago. My goal in learning japanese was not to learn japanese. Every one has a different motive. Mine was more an experiment in memory training and language adquisition.The goals:1 Memory boost.2 fast language adquisition.(at the same time)My theory was that one could dramatically shorten the language adquisition curve by dramatically boosting one's retention ability, in other words, boosting one's memory.The experiment was a total success. I was able to learn more than 1200 kanji, with a very very high percentage of accuracy, enough to get me on my way  to reading regular japanese novels for japanese  (Even before moving to japan, I was able to read any book on any subject and read thru without any trouble, I can read the newspapers too, I just don't like reading it, I find it boring) I much rather read a novel or a self-improvement book in japanese, if I'm going to read, but these days I don't read as much, I prefer doing listening to japanese comedy. Part of the conditions for the experiment was to learn it under the most unlikely situation, in a place were there was no person speaking japanese and no resources. Have you heard about the famous little fishing village in the mexican riviera called  Playa del Carmen ? (About 1 hour south of Cancun, If you've never been please visit, gorgeous place!)Anyway, For six months all I did was study japanese kanji,  every waking hour. But didn't study that much in my house; most of the time I'd go to a coffee shop where I could also enjoy girl-watching.To make a long story short, I've been in japan 8 years now!I spend a few months in Osaka, a few years in a small okinawan island called Ishigaki, and now 3 plus years 30 minutes from Tokyo, in a very nice city called Urawa.If you ever come to Tokyo, mi casa es s casa!Anyway, the reason I'm telling you all of this is because if you are learning japanese now, I have created a very special software that I would like you to try.This software is original, introduces simplified japanesegrammar concepts and is very very good. It's even good for myself!I hope you contact me so that we can get to know eachother better and become friends.Ciao bellissimo.Martini (Martini is my nickname, real name is Martin, LOL)

Mirza Ghulam Ahmed was originally a Muslim born in India in 1835 I think. At the age of forty, he cleimad that the Lord conversed with him and later on he was to claim that he WAS the second coming of Christ and that the notion that Jesus will come back is a result of false interpretation of all scriptures.His followers are called Qadianis and they believe he was their Messihah and reject the second coming of Christ.Moreover they believe that Jesus is buried in Kashmir, a disputed area between India   Pakistan.They credit Mirza with making prophesies like WWi and predicting the deaths of his opponents.They claim to be part of Islam, however their rejection of Jesus' return, acceptance of Mirza as Messihah and rejecting finality of prophethood on Mohammad makes them non-muslims. They are, by Pakistan's constitution a separate religion.Their sacred land is Rabwa, a small city in Pakistan. And Mirza Ghulam Ahmed died in 1908, of diarrheah.You asked for a link, please see the one I mentioned in the source.God bless.
