						<p>So I finally made it and am a textfugu member after much lazyness and putting it off.</p>
<p>So yeah, let&#8217;s start with a basic introduction. My name is Brandon, I am a true geek I guess you could say, because I don&#8217;t enjoy just one thing, I enjoy almost everything, be it video games, sports, and knowing useless knowledge from around the world. Especially wierd things, I can go from listening to heavy dubstep to Spanish to Japanese music in a matter of seconds, same goes for movies, I watch all kinds of foreign movies (usually because American TV is dead and the movies are becoming predictable)</p>
<p>One of the few things I enjoy more than most is language. Language is that one single barrier that breaks the world into sub-groups, and I don&#8217;t believe that&#8217;s how it should be.</p>
<p>So why would I like to learn Japanese? Well the Japanese culture as a whole is pretty amazing, they stay so modern but at the same time so traditional. I already speak English and Spanish, so I chose a language I am really excited about learning.</p>
<p>Finally, I want to be able to understand what Keita Ari (J-vlogger who speaks incredibly fast) is saying. Once I get to the point I can understand him, then I know I&#8217;ve made progress.</p>
<p>Ari for those who don&#8217;t know:<br />

						<p>Welcome Brandon :)<br />
I think it will take a very long time before you will be able to understand that blogger. If that is the point where you know that you have made progress, then I think it will be hard for you to stay put and keep learning. Japanese is alot harder than spanish&#8230;</p>
<p>gl with your study :)</p>

						<p>Haha, well, better to say that it would be my goal to understand him very well, if I know anything about learning language is that it takes time. I don&#8217;t expect to be the next Joseph Mezzofanti by any means, just learn an amazing language. :)</p>
