Salut Amélie!
I hope you enjoy TextFugu as much as I do and that you work hard to achieve your goal of going to Japan :)
BTW I’m from Montreal too :)
Welcome Amanda!
Hopefully this tool will help you remember what you learned in college or even learn new things, tricks and whatnot :) I’m sure you’ll have fun here so let’s enjoy the ride together with the others!
PS don’t worry about sharing too much or too little, we’ll get to know you better :3
Hahaha
But don’t worry man, as long as you put your effort on learning this language then you will get your results so don’t give up on it (think about why you are trying to learn it and what made you start, that should motivate you a bit :D)Hi Nick!
That sounds like a big resolve you got there (moving to Japan); have you planned out how you are going to go at it? (job, housing, etc).
Good luck with learning with TextFugu and also have fun doing it :)

MTL, CanadaTake a look at budo(budou) taijutsu. There are principles shared with numerous fighting disciplines (aikido, judo, karate, kendo, and my favourite; taihoujutsu), but there are no rules as it’s a self defence/combat art. We have a fantastic club here in the south west of England.
Oh, and our grandmaster dyes his hair purple<br>
<br>
(for protection against STD’s apparently).Oooo… it’s the first time I heard about budo taijutsu and the fact that it shares principles with other martial arts is quite appealing. I should check around here in Montreal if there are any clubs or associations teaching that art.
Ha! your grandmaster looks quite the lively fellow :); I’m sure he makes it fun to learn with his unique personality.
Hi Ivan! Welcome! Four languages, huh? Wow! What are your others?
Good luck with your studies!<br>
CassandraThank you :3
The three other languages are well..English (Ha!), French and Spanish. I believe that these three languages are very similar between them thus they were not hard to learn but Japanese, to me, is on a different level because there cannot be any connection between the roots of those languages (Japanese vs european). But I will sure enjoy having the basics of it.
Hey!
I also started on TextFugu recently (I’m at season 3 now). However, it sounds like it is not going to be updated (that much), so after season 8 there isn’t that much left to do. That’s why I only bought a monthly subscription, since I think I’ll be able to go through everything within a year or less. Then there’s WaniKani for kanji, which I am currently trying for free :)
Cool, I myself am practicing karate in the style of Wado-Ryu (have the orange belt). Aikido sounds interesting as well, I want to try it some day. Even though it is some time since you did it, which one did you like most, and why? :)
Sorry for the long hiatus guys lol I was kinda busy with work and personal life but I have been going at it with Textfugu and I’m halfway through season 2 (slow but steady :)). I guess buying for the lifetime membership was worth it.
Coming back to which martial art I liked more, I could that both had their pros and cons but I think that Aikido was the one I liked most when comparing both because it has an aspect of peacefulness and its spiritual content is quite interesting (being one with the universe); the art itself is hard to grasp but anything with practice is achievable. I liked Karate because of the competitive aspect but I did not get far into it (I was going to get my orange belt at around 8 years old or around that ball park lol)
