Hey hey! Vi er jo også et lille land, men det er godt at se der er andre ;)
Japanese language and culture has interested me for the past 10-11 years.. or possibly more. My stepfather introduced me to manga and anime, and I guess that was pretty much what started it. I eventually grew to like the language and culture as well. I especially find all the contrasts to what I’m used to inspiring.
After some years I decided to give Japanese a go, but that is not very easy seeing as only very few high schools teach it, and unless you can afford a private teacher the only other way is to pretty much learn it yourself or study it in college/uni. I did find a 10 lesson course at some point and signed up for it; while it gave me some useful resources it also didn’t do much other than introduce me to way too many concepts and essentially it just ended up confusing me. :P
After that my interest kind of faded for a while until recently when からわ少女 was recommended to me by a friend (it does have a little bit of mature content, but it’s a actually a good story). I started digging around on the interwebs for some self study options and – well, here I am. :)
