Yes it is. I know main differences, but I don't always know which one is right to use in some situations so I try one and let someone correct me.

Is there a site where I can download/install Japanese characters for my computer? xP

浦飯さん。 3nodding
I have a grammatical question I'm hoping someone can answer.
Lately I've been noticing that "dake" is used in some places that make English translation awkward. I find this in song lyrics sometimes. I'm wondering if "dake" can mean something other than "only" or "alone," or if I'm missing something here.
Here are some examples:
From "HANABI" by Ayumi Hamasaki:
笑顔だけ優しすぎて
Egao dake yasashi sugite
Only your smile is too gentle
and
From "Katamaritai no" by Yui Asaka
透き通る 月だけが 踊る 闇の中
Sukitooru tsuki dake ga odoru yami no naka
Only the transparent moon dances in the dark
Can anyone come up with a translation that would sound better in English? Is there some sort of connotation that simply doesn't translate? Would it be better if I left out "only," or is that an essential part of the sentence?

Those translations all sound fine to me.

AkiChan42 Any tip to help memorize kanji and learn them by ourselves? Take a kanji a day or so and create one memorably unique sentence with it. Write the individual kanji's on flashcards and flip through them every so often, that's what I do.

Honestly, all I do is take the Kanji and write it out a few times. Thats all I need to remember usually.

Vajra B. Hairava I don't see the problem. Those translations all sound fine to me. Do you think so? To me, it sounds awkward, because if you look at the rest of the lyrics, it's not like "only your smile, as opposed to everything else." The "only" seems to come out of nowhere, and I'm wondering why. But maybe I'm making a big deal over nothing.

We reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the imprint is always there...
Konnichiwa!
Ehhh.
I don't really know what to say.
Erm.
Min'nasan.
Ikaga desu ka?
:]
But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten...

Why is there an apostrophe in "Min'nasan"?

Usually it's used to tell us that it's the syllable n, but it's really unnecessary here. Not everyone knows that though.
I want to speak in Japanese so bad, but my conversational skills suck. xp I wish I wasn't so shy...
