Friends from around the globe - 03-30-2010, 12:38 AM

Good eveing or Good day from where ever you are,
I was looking for friends from distant land like Austrila, England, Italy, France and of course Japan. I'm a 19 year old girl, from a small island in Puerto Rico, i know spanish and english, wishing to know more Japanese, (hopefully I'll get to know a friend who knows that can teach me) and i am always willing to learn something new. Adios~


I must live for now because, I don't know what tomarrow brings...

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.

Eyo, I'm from Norway
Well, I'm learning Japanese myself, I'm still pretty basic A tip is to talk to a native speaker, ooh, and what really helped me get started, was meeting up with someone that also was new to learning the language, that way you can compare, and challenge eachother
