Hey, I’m Alex. I’m 19 years old guy from Ukraine. Actually my ancestors were from Germany, but they’ve moved to USSR during WWII.
Few month ago I’ve decided to start learn Japanese just because it is cool and it’s differs from Latin-like writing systems. A bit later I’ve looked through some Japanese culture and I’ve found it very interesting. I’ve looked deeper into it and realized that things that I loved all my life are just part of Japanese culture. So, my dream now is to learn Japanese well and go to Japan. Chasing for a dream, slowly but surely.
Nowadays I know some phrases like ”私はひどく日本語を話す” or ”日本語を勉強しています”, hiragana, half of katakana, numerals from 0 to 10 and their kanji and few other kanji.
Other languages that I know: Russan, English, Ukrainian.
Thanks for reading. You can also ask me some questions about Russian or Ukrainian culture or languages, I’ll try to answer on it.-

Hi Alex, nice to meet you!
I almost took up learning Russian instead of Japanese, since I was also looking for a language that differed from the Latin-style writing system. I ended up choosing Japanese because I have a friend from high school who is fluent.
I look forward to seeing you around the forums; よろしくおねがいします！
Not from the desk of Eihiko. Eihiko's boss took his desk away from him.はじめまして！ TextFuguへようこそ〜
My friends are also studying Japanese, it’s very encouraging.
Try not to overwhelm yourself at first or you may feel discouraged. Persistence is key to learning!

I was growing up in Russian family, but I don’t like Russia or Ukraine and the most I hate Russian people that shouting “RUSSIA IS THE BEST COUNTRY, USA WILL FALL ON THEIR KNEES” even when Russian culture inferior to any other country. Actually there is no big difference between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian people are 70% Russian because of russification. Russian language is a bit hard for foreigners, though I don’t see any sense to learn Russian today, this country will suck soon, you’ll see it. They want to build communistic society like China did, but they didn’t took into account the fact that Russia is dependent of Europe’s and USA’s technologies and products.
はじめまして！ TextFuguへようこそ〜

Huh, I’m not overwhelming myself, just trying to do my best.
Also, how long it’ll take to speak Japanese well enough (maybe just for non-formal conversation on any topic)? 2-3 years or more?-
