With Japanese, I worry about using a word that has a usage context I don't know about and thereby using it incorrectly even though the dictionary meaning fits what I want to say.*************

I'm very new to Japanese so I don't know how much help I would be, but I think the language is beautiful and I am interested in learning it (I enjoy linguistics). Whatever I can do to help with the project, let me know. I could for sure build the web pages for it and as far as the language part itself goes, just let me know how to help. Thanks!
