Hey everybody.  I just bought my textfugu lifetime membership a few days ago.  It’s been a dream of mine to learn Japanese since High School.  Being a small town and the fact that the internet wasn’t what it is today I really didn’t have any resources.

When I got to college I decided to make my first attempt.  It was a failur; though I did learn a few things.  Being a music major I really didn’t have the time to learn a language.  I did painstakingly learn katakana though, some of which has stuck with me.

Now I’m a High School music teacher with a family.  I’m actually even more limited on time now, but in adulthood I am at least a little bit better at time management.   Going through textfugu is going to take me a while.  I’m going to devote 30 min a day to my studies; more when I can but never less.

So why did I choose textfugu?  Well When I decided to pick up this goal again I tried several online self learner sites.  The free textfugu lesson was much better than anything else I tried now or when I was in college, imho.  The pacing was good the text was entertaining and Koichi seems to really be rooting  for us to succeed.

Anyway, I’m glad to be a member here.
