    Hi, everybody!

    I’m an aspiring actor living in New York City. I’m learning Japanese so I can finally communicate with my mom and all of the other Japanese people in my life (and, who knows, if I want to get some acting work in Japan!). I took a few Japanese courses in college, and my professor was actually responsible for introducing me to the Tofugu site. I’m really looking forward to using the Textfugu program, and touching base with you guys on my journey to fluency. See you around!

    こんにちは、Fayne!

    It sounds like you’ve a solid foundation and a very good motivation for learning! My dad speaks Italian, and I often considered learning it instead of Japanese. I suppose I still am considering it…

    Anyway, はじめまして and よろしくおねがいします and I look forward to seeing you around the forum!

    こんにちは、Eihiko-san!

    You know, my best friend in college was from Milan, and one of my big regrets was not learning Italian when we lived together (I’d thought that tackling two languages at the time would be too much). In retrospect, I don’t think that this the case; Italian, like Spanish, is a far simpler and more consistent language than English or Japanese. I encourage you to try it out.

    どうぞよろしく!

    Oh dear, I never thought about it until just now, but I haven’t been using any honorifics with forum members D: すみません、Fayne-san!

    Maybe you’re right- once I’m more established with Japanese, I think I’ll give Italian a shot ^_^
