Well, I started playing Street Fighter 1 when I was younger at the Mall here. I always wondered what the characters on the screen meant. From there, my friend got me involved in Animé. After that, I started listening to Japanese music. I met a lot of Japanese friends, talk to some online as well. It's part of my life now.

I've been living here since 8/91.

My roommates in University were Japanese so I decided to try out Japan after graduation.

Now have a Japanese wife and son.

I can speak some but the reading and writing (especially Kanji) is difficult (maybe impossible) for me.

I'll always be learning.

Since i heard the first time japanese actors speaking (about five years ago), i always wanted to understand this exotic and very cool sounding language.
Unfortunately i haven´t enough money to learn it, and i don´t know japanese people... :(
Just had once a crash lesson in japanese.

Cause i'm half Japanese (half German, same as Hitomi lol), and i thought it would be a nice language to learn. I actually enjoyed learning it in High School, so i'm pursuing it in college. Plus, i want to actually go to Japan, so its best if i know the language first a bit before travelling.

Embarassing as it may seem i'm currently learning Japanese from my own niece who is only 9 at the moment. She is part Jap/Taiwanese/Malaysian:pinch:

I'll show u a pic of her if i get the chance. :yes:

But in all honesty how well versed or fluent each of u are in the language. Like Ayane, can u read the Famitsu magazine u always get every month?
