the thing is that many foreigners ask questions about Japan
I was hoping to get to know some japanese members via this group PLUS getting to know their views and daily lives etc. Who set this group up in the first place? was it mainly for language exchange- anime/manga etc? |
So far, 2 out of 7 participants of this thread are native Japanese. I say it's not bad. Actually, this forum have way more Japanese natives than any other English forum I have ever seen. Anything more than this, I think you'll need to go to Japanese forums like 2ch, mixi, 発言小町, はてなぶっくまーく, etc. or may be more language exchange kind of places like lang8.
I don't know much about the history of the forum. I've been around only for a month or so... |

I know some sites which are the opposite of Japan Forum. ie. Forums with Japanese members who live abroad (or are planning to do so) who have questions about a certain country but to no surprise, it's all in Japanese. Either way, there are many sites where you can find Japanese pen-pals who are dying to try out their English. If you really want to exchange views and info regarding daily life, perhaps you should give them a try. |
There is a few Japanese people in any forum, I think.
Because many Japanese go on 2ch if we want to talk about and search for something. |

I am Japanese but spent so much time in the states that my ability to read kanji is pretty bad(it was never very good) So my ability to read is no better than a nisei. Though in other ways I am a complete issei including my citizenship.
I would LOVE a forum of Japanese that can speak English or nessei,sansei Japanese. That would be heaven for me, I've searched but I have not found any sites like that. |

^ 14. But I wasn't the studying type. So the reason I can't read Kanji is really laziness. I could have studied here in the states. I have no problems speaking though.

chiuchimu-- Do you ever return to Japan? would you like to live there again do you think?
