My name is Stephen, and I am learning Japanese so I can get back to Japan. I lived in Japan for about 18 months several years ago, and I can’t get it out from under my skin. Now that I am done with law school, I have a whole lot less to distract me from how much I miss Japan.
If I don’t learn the language, I’ll never be able to get a good job over there. I learned very little Japanese when I lived there, and almost seven years on, I have forgotten lots. Time to change that!
I’m headed to Tokyo in February of 2015. I have a lot of work to do until then.
Welcome to TextFugu!
Do you plan on practicing law in Japan?

がんばって！
Thanks for your post, Aikibujin!
I’m interested in legal practice opportunities, but they would mostly be in a transnational context, I suspect. The skill set and background are useful in a host of other contexts, though, so I would hope to find something career-ish that would be engaging and rewarding, while also being in Japan. If nothing else, my friends would be shocked to death if I could speak some Japanese when I make my next visit!
I’m going to get Anki going. It’s definitely a bit tricky at first, so I appreciate especially the link to speed things up on that front.
Good luck! ^_^
