Good evening, I had just begun reading the introductory section in Season 1 and it was recommended to say hi and give my personal goals for learning Japanese.
1. Why are you learning Japanese?
- I want to communicate if offered a project with a Japanese client while at ‘Current software engineering/support development company’.
- I want to one day spend a vacation in Japan to visit historical sites and experience things in person.
- I want to learn more Japanese lore and stories from the source.
Sure, I used to have eye rolling reasons for wanting to learn Japanese, i.e. video games and manga, but over time I have grown to acknowledge the value of the language for learning about a fascinating culture, for unique opportunities in the field of information technology, and to perhaps enjoy a dream vacation. I heard about this site after searching around for suggested learning materials. I started at looking from the Rosetta Stone program and somehow ended up here.
