Oh boy. I wasn’t expecting this to be a step. I work with a person who moved here to work from Japan, and he had some fun writing peoples names in Katakana on their white boards with the romaji spellings under the characters. I chose my username based on that, but now it’s kind of embarrassing. Edit – I guess it doesn’t show the username! hah! Two points for double-embarassment!

Anywho… I’m doing this all the way, and there’s no stopping me – so here I go:

I want to be able to converse with more people, and I chose Japanese now because I find the language and the culture very interesting. I probably will not stop at Japanese because I want to be able to talk to many people in languages they are comfortable with. The reason is because I enjoy helping people, and I don’t want to limit the people I can help. I also hope to teach my kids a second language while they learn english, or shortly after.

I hope to become a welcome member of the community and look forward to interactions here.
