So today I learned how to set my keyboard to Japanese input. Now I have to keep an eye on the toolbar and make sure it's set to "English" when I want to type stuff. Basically it works the same way the input does when I type in the Google Translate box and it changes what I typed into Japanese characters. Unlike Google Translate (obviously) it doesn't automatically give me the English meaning of what I typed so the potential for embarrassing mistakes is VAST.

However, I do feel like I've made another tentative step forward in learning this language.

Whee, it's probably lousy but I typed it myself, instead of copy and pasting! Now I just need to boost my vocabulary.
