I’ve been interested in it for 10 years, but I kept putting it off. No more of that for me. :)

So anyway, hi. *Wave*

Pretty much everything.

I’ve been wanting to visit since high school, but I didn’t want to go without having at least a grasp of the language. I’ve got enough miles through airlines to have my airfare free, so the only thing really stopping me is the language barrier, but I’m working hard and dedicating myself to it.

I’ve had some prior experience researching the language, so the first few chapters were review for me. I’m progressing pretty well.

I don’t have any experience with the Japanese language but I share your fascination and I would love to visit Japan. I’ve heard great things about this website so I’m optimistic about learning.

I think you and I are in the same situation, creepin’ alongside the site and Tofugu but never actually taking the leap to join TF, however here we are :)

So welcome here!
