Well Japan has its ups and downs, too,I can understand things that might anger you here or make you sad, this motivates me to do something, but it may be different for you.

I know that even Japan is not perfect. But it's seems somewhat better over there, in my opinion. Technology, fashion, etc. - Japan is in the top with such things. People in Japan also seem to value things more. I admire that. If I may ask, are you currently in Japan? :pandasmile: |
No. I agree, Japanese seem nicer compared to Americans, so I'd love to live there if I can live off being a mangaka with fluent Japanese.
I know theres a good chance ^_^ Until then . . .I live . . .in my crazy realm . . .somewhere in America ^_~ |
Hi

Tips? Hmmm . . .Lots of puff balls or roses . . .And maybe one with Edward Cullen or Justin Bieber for thse fans? :p Try Hello Kitty, that and Sanrio all together may help too ^_^ |

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. |

My Name is Babs and I live on the south coast of England. Since I met a japanese lady who is studying here in England I have been interested in learning some japanese history and also the language although that is very slow progress. If I do try to download hiragano etc I need to know that will not mean losing my normal English ability.
I have not yet visited JAPAN although I hope to save enough money to do so some time. I am keen to understand the culture also. wondering if modern japanese people are changing from those of the past as happens in most countries. Now you have a new Prime Minister I wonder the effect on your country will be. My other interests is music of all kinds-- art, animals, countryside, and writing and learning from books etc. You may gather that I am from the older generation but I do hope that will not prevent my sharing with you on here. best wishes, babs. |
