Well the same story as everyone ells I am here to learn Japanese.  My reasoning for learning Japanese is mostly because I am involved with the language  ever day.  It is rather hard to use something I do not even know. I could go on and on about the many ways I am involved in Japanese ever day but that would be long and boring.  I also would like to take a trip to Japan some day.  On top of the fact I am involved with it ever day I also watch anime, Japanese tv show/movies, read mange, and play video games in Japanese (Or well I try anyway).  I do this stuff everyday in hope it can help improve my Japanese.  I do pick up on stuff ever now and then but I am simply not learning it as fast as I would like for the amount I could really be using it.
