I have absolutely no idea how I got the idea of learning Japanese. Absolutely none. I just started doing some research about Japan at some point (I think it was because of Hayao Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away”- I love his movies!) and found that it is probably one of the most fascinating countries of the world. And then, since I was a bit bored and never had even tried to learn some Asian language, I decided to learn Japanese :) After a while, I found Textfugu and Kouichi had this “New Year’s Sale” running and I just thought “Hey, this just can’t be a coincidence” and signed up :)
Hmm, what else.. I’ve got ´the habit of using way too many smileys, I’m pretty obsessed with languages and I am from Switzerland (the Topic Title is in Swiss German… I wonder whether there are any other Swiss guys hanging around here)
Oh, and since I’m a total chaot, I also didn’t notice that I probably should have edited my profile somewhen during the last year… think I’m gonna do that now :)

Yeah, that’s pretty much me… If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask! :D

See you guys,
Sarah

And If anyone of you enjoys correcting a non-native speaker’s English mistakes, I don’t mind at all! ;)

Welcome, welcome! That’s alright that you have no idea how you got the idea of learning Japanese. Just stick with it now that you’ve found it! :)

Welcome again and good luck with your studies!
