Hello everyone, my name is Erik. I am really into computers, programming, anime, video games, manga, and light novels. My hobbies are both influencing my short term and long term goals for Japanese. Short term (Hopefully within 2 years) I would like to be able to read many of the light novels that anime series are based off of, but do not cover the entire series, as well as play video games that were never translated into English. As for long term goals, I would like to become a game developer for a company in Japan.
