Hi I’m Jordan, 29 years and from Basingstoke, England.

I’ve never travelled to Japan before, but hope to go next year with a good grasp of the language to get by and have lots of fun and interesting conversations.

I’ve had private lessons with a tutor  for 9months last year, which were costly, and didn’t get me further than I anticipated.  I got through some of the chapters in ‘Genki’ and ‘Minna no Nihongo’ books.

I enjoy listening to rapid Japanese Vol 1+2 from Berlitz.I can recognise hiragana characters, but I need work on katakana and work on conversation.
I hope textfugu will get me over this plateau.

I enjoy learning new things about Japanese culture, spirituality and history so I want to explore more out there.
I’m taking the step to learn Japanese fluently, by travelling out to Japan to become a EFL teacher.

Jordan
