Hello Cassandra,
I took an Asian Philosophy class at Washington State, and thus my interest was born. I have taken all the courses they offer for their Asian studies program and I want more. I got interested in learning the language after watching lots of Japanese movies with subtitles and noticing some things were lost in translation. I admit this is going to be very difficult for me because I have a visual learning disability. But if I can conquer this language I can conquer anything! Thanks for replying to my intro.
