Hello! I’m new to this Website, so I don’t know what to do. Does this mean I can Speak, read and write Japanese on this website? can someone please tell me?:)

im learning from jan, at my uni for free, my plan is to go there and teach english when i fnish uni in 2010

I’m horrible at this… normally when i hear Japanese I understand it but I don’t know how to reply back. When I look at the characters, sometimes i mix it up accidentally with Chinese (mandarin)...
((Like the numbers))

... and not just a few words, either. I mean really FLUENT standard Japanese, almost as fluently as a native.

how

Well, I’ve been teaching myself Japanese off and on for 2 years now, and of course that only goes so far, but I know a lot more than I did when I first started! If you give me a book in Japanese or something and the kanji have the little Hiragana above them (what’re they called, rubi hiragana or something?), I can read it and I have a decent grasp on pronunciation. My vocabulary isn’t really that wonderful considering how many words there really are in the language, but still, I know a lot, lot more than the average English-speaking person! Bwahaha! I hope to take classes someday.

There were times when I made it my business to study Japanese everyday. And quickly, I learned and made well enough progress. I tried to use it whenever I could, I’d refresh during school hours and then add on to what I had learned.

Of course, there was a reason for learning so eagerly. Someone very important to me was behind my motivation. And though Japan was an interest to me, I doubt I would’ve gotten as far as I did with my language proficiency without that motivation.

The motivation, however, is gone. And my learning has stopped for quite some time now. I only wonder when I’ll jumpstart it again, despite my reason being gone . .

The word that means the most to me, is “itsumo.”

Because he said forever.

Who knew?
