If you've tried learning before but haven't tried duolingo maybe give it a shot. It gamifies learning a language in a similar way as any other mobile game that gets you addicted to it. I keep finding myself compelled to open it up again or do just one more lesson and for something like this that's a good thing.

I would say it's going pretty well so far.

8th day is today! I've actually learned a decent amount and although it is primarily about ordering food and referring to people, that's probably pretty good for someone who wants to travel to Japan. The next course is about asking for directions, for instance.

Is it the best way to learn Japanese objectively? Maybe not. It's working better than anything I've tried in the past though so I think that counts for something.

Do you think burning books should be covered by the First Amendment? Or it an act of censorship? Does it perhaps depend on how many copies are burned versus how many still exist?

I think it might depend on whether you own the book or not. If you've purchased something it ought to be your right to destroy it.
