Haha, that's EXACTLY how my Japanese class was in high school. They called it "distance-learning," and it was the stupidest idea ever. You can't learn a language from some pre-recorded lessons and just email the instructor when you have questions. D: Thankfully, it was a much better experience in college... much faster pace too.
Yeah, I know. I haven't gotten around to fixing the font color... it just uses the default color that comes with whatever PC skin you're using. XD If you use skins that have black font as the default like me, it looks normal. :D
