Welcome Adeian! I hope you like it here! Look at my above post for helpful ways of learbibg Japanese!


My Life Sucks- The kids I babysit have drooled, ripped or drawn on all of the cards and put the cars with the little people in the microwave!

I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs!

I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it!

I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them!

But . . .I'll live.

Name: Maylar
Coming to you from: Los Angeles, CA (United States)
First Breath: June 3rd
Reason for coming here: Found this site while looking for resources for learning Japanese.
Why Learn Japanese: There are various reasons for this. Japan is one of the bigger economic and technological powerhouses in the world, and I feel that learning Japanese will help further myself in this. Also, I want to step outside my comfy American life and see the world. Also, learning another Language is a challenge issued to myself, one that I do not plan on failing.
