Hi everyone.

My name is Arash. You can call me Arash, あらし (Arashi) or アラシュ (Arashu). I personally prefer あらし over アラシュ though, because when I went to Japan last October, people were calling me Arashi.

I live in the Netherlands and am working as a web developer.

After an amazing vacation to Japan, I decided to learn Japanese. My dream is to live and work in Japan. Other reasons for learning Japanese is to be able to communicate with my new Japanese friends on Facebook.

I actually started learning Japanese through another site. The site is great and has a lot of helpful resources, but it became hard for me to figure out the right order of learning things. So a month later (now), I decided to try TextFugu. I can read/write Kana (very slowly) and know some basic sentences. I was hoping TextFugu will help me learn the rest. ^_^

Let’s do our best!
