Mimetic words in 日本語 Is there somewhere a nice list of those with translations? Without them, I feel like I'm missing a great part of 会話の日本語.

Something discouraging. The worst thing that could happen to you during the process of mastering some language is disappointent in those who your actually learn it for. That nation, those native speakers. So discouraging, so demotivating. I can only learn things if I'm in love with them or if my life is in danger. Nothing else can make me do anything I don't want to do. So natives speakers, who I love on a 'default settings' just because they speak the language I adore and I crave to master, they should serve as the strongest catalyst for me. They inspire a lot, though if they happen to let down, it hurts a lot too. I wish all native speakers were careful with those who seriously wants to learn and speak their language. It's really important.
