Hello everyone.

I’m excited to be a part of this community. I went to Japan for the first time last October, it was a short whirlwind 6 day trip. Not nearly long enough. I was there to start a traditional back tattoo with master Horiyoshi III. My main reason for learning the language is so that I can converse with him. He is a fascinating man, and speaks pretty decent english, but I so badly want to be able to speak with him in Japanese.

Aside from that I want to learn the language for business purposes. I would love to attend seminars there.

Here’s to the journey of learning.
