As the lesson tells me I should write down WHY I want to learn japanese and thats not that easy. But I guess a big part of it is that I want to be able to read on interesting sites on the internet, games that’s not released elseware and some manga (even tho I rarely read that). Another big thing is understanding japanese when listening to music, watching tv-shows, j-drama and anime.

The third and perhaps the biggest part is that I have a dream to live in Japan. But I’m a realist and know that’s never going to happen… so I’ve put that dream down. ^^;

I hope that we all will get along and that I have made my self understod using english!

どもよろしくおにがいします。

Don’t try to force yourself into too long study sessions and
take it a few bites a time, regularly.
In the beginning it might not feel like much, but you will see how
awesomely it will build up. You can do it!
Let’s give it our best, shall we?

Revenant has some great advice – slow and steady wins the race. Good luck with your studies!

PS – I moved the thread into the intro section for you. ;)

I cannot imagine how hard it is to learn a language using a book/resource that’s in a language other than your primary language. If you need any help around here, post a thread in the forums! There are many people here that know their stuff and are happy to help.

Hopefully in a bit the two of us will be able to look back at this day and notice how far along we’ve gotten.

As for living in Japan, don’t give up that dream just yet. It might seem impossible now, and it might very well be, but in a few months or years, who knows what might happen? If you really want something, don’t give up, and someday you might be able to realize this dream. At least that’s what I believe.

And I call myself a realist? :p
