After a long haitus from Textfugu I’m back with a vengence to work hard and learn Japanese! I’ve actually made this post before, but I’ve been away for so long I thought I should start fresh.
I’m Calvin, former music student turned IT professional (don’t worry I still love music). Sinve grafuating college and entering adulthood a lot has changed; moved cross country, got married, totally about face in professional aspirations. What hasn’t changed is my love for Japan and the Japanese language.
So without further ado, here is why I want to learn Japanese:
- I want to visit Japan one day, stay at a ryokan and be able to habe a complete convetsation with my host.
- I want to read Japanese poetry and historical texts in their original language
- I want to watch Japanese films without relying on subtitles
- I want to make Japanese speaking friends
- I want to beter appreciate the culture through understanding the language
<liI love playing and making video games. Id love to play more Japanese games with Japanese speakers
What do you all think? Too media focused?

Welcome back!
Ain’t nothing wrong with being media-focused – for many of us, that’s the only exposure to Japanese that we can get. =)
I agree with Joel! If it wasn’t for the media exposure I would probably have no interest in Japanese culture. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to build a deeper understanding through media. Don’t sell yourself short :)
