Hi guys,
This is my first year learning Japanese. I've really always wanted to learn Japanese but never got the opportunity, until now that is. I think it all started with my mom. She spent a year studying in ICU in Tokyo on a scholarship, and she absolutely enjoyed the whole experience. So I pretty much got influenced by her. Added to that is my godmother from Taiwan, who also loves Japanese culture. She spends about at least a quarter in Japan every year. And then, there's my sister, who also took Japanese in college, and loves everything Zen. And then, there's also the surprising love of Filipinos for anime back home. So I guess if you put all those together, then they equal my extreme interest in Japanese culture as a whole.
So far, the first 3 weeks of class have been manageable. Learning hiragana's very straightforward. I'm excited to get to the level where I can actually converse effortlessly (sort of) in Japanese. I can't wait to show my old highschool friends what I've learned!
Peace,
パノピオ
