So starting out, been an old Beta tester on Wanikani, and having dedicated a lot of time to Japanese study prior I decided after a bit of a vacation that now was the time to get back on the horse, and return too the studies. However this time I also decided that I wanted to give some gold to those who helped me and given me lots of things in my last journey. And that is why I am now here, to take on the TextFugu method of learning in parallel with my Wanikani.

My name is Mike, I live in Denmark, and just turned 35.
I study and I’m an instructor in Copenhagen Shibari Dojo. I have been a manga/anime geek for years as well, and found a great interest in the Japanese Culture. I’ve been to Tokyo many years back, where I with a friend visited Comiket, as a part of our reason to go to Japan.

Reasons why I would want to learn Japanese.
I’m learning Japanese cause I want to be able to talk with the Japanese Sensei’s that I wouldn’t normally have access to, since English might not be a language they speak. And also being able to read books about my study as well.
I want to better understand their culture, and through learning the language I can also learn the culture.
I want to be able to move and live in Japan, maybe only for a small period of time, but my idea of moving to Japan for 6-12 months at some point would need me to have a fair knowledge of the language I think, cause I don’t want to be sitting at home and doing nothing.

And first time I went to Japan, I told myself that before going back I would need to be more proficient in the language.

Kind regards,
Mike
