Hello,
I just joined here.
I grew up in Switzerland where I learned Italian French German and English.
Now I live in the states and I decided to pick up Japanese. I would like to move there one day.
I am taking already some classes at an evening school and I am following a Japanese through anime online class. But I just want to know more.
I hope this website will help me in the goal of becoming fluent in Japanese.
Cheers
Andrea
Andrea – I am impressed by the languages you’ve already learned. What made you choose Japanese as your next language?
Good luck with your studies!
CassandraHello!
Thanks Cassandra.
I have chosen Japanese because it was looking fascinating, and new. Learning “West European” languages was not much fun, because I had to, and also because they are too similar. I wanted to learn something different. At one point (during college) I was undecided between Japanese and Russian. But my appreciation for the Japanese culture outgrew Russian by a lot.
Hopefully I will become decent in Japanese soon :)
Cheers
Wow! nice set of languages there. Good luck with your studies in Japanese!
Welcome, and Russian is really hard to learn I hear so your probably better off with the Japanese. Picking between the two is like picking between Vodka and Sake.
Speaking of Sake (de-railed thread +1000pts), I’ve heard that 20% is a common percentage in Japan. Is this true? The only place I have found 20% in the UK is ‘Oxford Wines’ in Tetbury, everything else is 14%. Any higher and it would be taxed as a spirit upon import, which could explain it…
Thanks!
