Konnichiwa, minna-san! Atashi no namae Yuki desu. Atashi wa juu-shuichi-sai. [Hello, everyone! My name is Yuki. I am 17-years-old.] (Feel free to correct me, if I made any errors. xD)
I've slowly, but surely been teaching myself Japanese for a few years now (on and off). I know a few phrases and many random words (most learned from anime and songs). I've memorized some Hiragana and I know only a few Kanji... I'm not very familiar with Katakana either, I plan on learning that after I memorize Hiragana. I can speak Japanese pretty well (the little that I know), but writing it is a is a different story. xD;
It's nice to meet all of you! ^_^

Konnichiwa! Watashi-wa Jaki-desu. Hajime mashite. (Hello! I'm Jacqui. How do you do?) Haha, I tried to make my name all Japanese stylized.. did it work?? O.o Well I've been studying Japanese on my own.. :S So I'm not so experienced with actually speaking it. But I've got basic grammar and everything and some vocab. I know how to write Hiragana. Anyway, I'm a sophmore in highschool. ^^ I move around a lot unfortunately.. Just moved a few weeks ago. Doo mo arigato gozaimasu!

Welcome you two! Don't feel weird Josh about buying a Katana! I would buy a Kimono as soon as I got the chance to. I think all of us here would!

Konnichi wa! My name is Luwwi (or Luwina), 17 years old. I've just started to study japanese on my own, so I'm super newbie. I only know some words and phrases + few letters of hiragana. Japanese language, culture and history is really interesting, I think. I'm also crazy after anime and manga (favourites include Naruto, Inuyasha, Angels sanctuary, Gravitation and so on).

Every other year, a few of our classmates go over to Japan for a few weeks.

We have a friendshiptown in Hokkaido, every other year a group of us goes there and every year a group of Japanese students come here. It's really fun to be a hostfamily for them and it was really nice to stay in Japan. 3nodding I wish I could go there again...

Konichi wa my name is Greg and I have been attempting to learn Japanese for a while. My reasons are that Japan is, technologicaly speaking, the greatest nation on Earth. And its a the Mecca of gaming/anime, both of which are two of my favorite things. And what gamer doesnt want to live/visit there? I mean they have E3! But, I recently actually bought a book on learning, that supposedly does its job in 6 or so weeks. Hopefully it doesnt lie or heads will roll!

It was followed by some CDs that I could use to learn how to pronounce it. I belive it's made from the series of ''Living Language''. I haven't been able to use it yet though, because of all my school work, so I don't know how good it is.

Hopefully it doesnt lie or heads will roll! i must correct you, e3 is NOT in Japan. it is in the US, in california, i believe. Anyway, though i'm not quite certain where it is located in the US, i know that it is in the US. Does Japan have gaming conventions that are open to the public?
