I am a junior in college and working on getting a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. I have been meaning to learn Japanese for years now, but no textbooks or software ever stuck with me, so I gave up. I put it off, intending to take classes in the summer at my current school, until I found out that I couldn’t hope to afford it. I found this a year ago, and I finally have the time and guts to dig in. I am learning Japanese because I want to talk to my relatives in Japan in Japanese (give them a beak from all that English), and maybe study abroad there someday. よろしくおねがいします。
