こんにちは！

初めましてみなんなさん。

Alrighty. Enough of that for now :) My name’s Jadie– I’m a Capricorn, I like long walks on the beach, pina coladas and dancing in the rain– Okay, most of that was a fib, but hi! I can’t wait to get started on learning as much Japanese as I can.

Why do I want to learn 日本語？

Weeeeeell, mostly because I have this dream of being able to visit (and/or move) to Japan and actually be able to converse with people in their language, rather than mine (I mean what’s the point of visiting a country if I don’t even -try- to speak the countries language?).

I also want to get to the point where I can read books, まんが, watch あにめ, and other Japanese programs without having to use subtitles (ick) or worse, English dubbing (double ick!).

I’m hoping that I get to know a few of you in the coming hours, days, weeks as I’m a self-confessed ‘give-upper’– without someone continually pushing me, competing against me or lording it over that they know more new words than me; my enthusiasm will peter out. I really, really don’t want that!

So drop me a line. I don’t bite, unless you take the form of strawberry pocky and then we may have issues…

Stay kooky,
Jadie.
