38+ and 25+ are still pretty impressive
Should be quite easy to discern where I’m currently located from the title ;)
I’ve been learning Japanese on and off for the past four years, but not very seriously. Attempting to change that this year! We’ll see how far I get. I’m aiming to work in the gaming industry, so that’s partly a motivation, but I’m also quite an anime/manga/books/games nerd, so… yes. And I just find Japan very interesting in and of itself!
My language background is wider than probably most – I’ve been bilingual almost from birth, and English came along when I was 4 years old. Currently fluent in Afrikaans, Dutch, and English. You’ve probably noticed that they’re all Germanic and all relatively closely related, so I don’t have much of an advantage there, haha. I used to know quite a bit of Indonesian but forgot it all years ago, and I still have a small amount of Latin left from high school days.
As for myself… not too old, not too young, doing a bachelor of science in game technology, and probably more than anything else, an artist.
Nice to meet you all!

You’re from… Atlantis?

Your cat was 20.5 years old?! That is probably the oldest I have heard for a cat.Not quite twenty. I actually looked into records for the oldest cat – think it was something like forty-three. My cat wasn’t even close to being the oldest in Australia, much less the world. =)
I suppose personally “almost” 20 has been the oldest I have heard of, granted I have not looked into actual world records :D 43 is insane though! That is almost like being married lol
Thanks for the pep talk Samuel :) I appreciate any kind of advice since I am just starting out. I think that is a great idea to find a secondary interest that is tied to Japanese other than strict studies. I think I might go the route of mangas and TVJapan for now. I started recording some Japanese kids shows on my DVR from TVJapan lol. Figured it would possibly be easy to follow once I get the basics down. Maybe I can find some Japanese music too since I do love me some music! Any recommendations on the Japanese music? Thought I’d ask since you must know some bands. Anyways, thanks again for the positive input, I appreciate it!
Awwwww, I’m sorry to hear that : ( I have been through a few animals passing in my time and it is rough stuff. I am trying to prepare myself for the eventual passing of my two kitties since they are getting up there. I don’t think one can really prepare for something like that though. The only solace one can take is knowing they had a good, long, happy life ya know? Wow! Your cat was 20.5 years old?! That is probably the oldest I have heard for a cat. I’m sure she had a wonderful life <3 I am sure you do miss her, pets imo are family. My last pet I lost was in 2008, he was my childhood dog and he was 15. Always sad to say goodbye.
Hi ya! Thanks for the welcomes : )
Joel – yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from Yokota was on here. I know for sure if this site had been around when I was stationed there (and if I wasn’t so young and busy partying >.<) that I would have taken advantage of studying the language while there. To be young and unfocused was years 18-23 :D Btw, I like your profile pic ……. cats UNITE!!!!! :D The kitty in my profile pic is one of two kitties I saved off base when I was in Japan 15 years ago. My guys are going on 16 now …. such old men!
Samuel – Thanks for the welcome! I seen you just started on this site as well (?) Congrats on a whole year worth of study thus far! I just started 2 days ago and I already feel overwhelmed. I keep thinking about all the stuff I have to learn versus taking it one day at a time. I’m psyching myself out I think. I need to stick some post it notes up on my desk that say, “ONE DAY AT A TIME” : )
