Isn't there a language pack you can install to see Japanese characters?

アンヂィ does seem to make more sense.
I'm kind of stuck on trying to translate North Carolina. ノルタカロリーナ, maybe?

No アンヂィ. And North Carolina is ノースキャロライナ (or ノースカロライナ) in Japanese.

In a few days, I'll be working more with sentences so I can start learning kanji within contexts rather than studying them individually, which seems like it wouldn't work very well. |
I know all of those people except Kansas (Tanner) and whoever Nolutsukarorina is lol. Also, what about モシュキット？ |

Nolutsukarorina was supposed to be North Carolina, where I live. I gave up while translating it and decided to stop caring. |

I was thinking about a book written in Japanese, about something that I know absolutely nothing about, so I'll have to force myself to learn each page word by word, building my vocabulary. Marty Friedman said he started out reading comics in the newspapers to do pretty much the same thing.

Well, the impression I got from my sensei at least is that periods are typically used over commas. That building humongous sentences with commas, colons, semi-colons, etc. is not common practice, because that's not the way people speak; there is a big emphasis on give-and-take in conversation it seems.
Reading sentences will only get easier the more words you learn is my advice lol. Well also, once you learn all the particles and their use, that really helps break up a sentence visually.
Ya, two weeks is nothing, you're doing fine. Do you mean a book written in Japanese, or a book about learning Japanese? Cause I'd recommend the latter, not sure if the former would be of any use to a beginner.
