I agree, it's possible with enough passion and time. being able to speak another language opens doors of possiblities as well, so really.. we don't have much to lose! ^^sukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726234918210128768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372076264900656116.post-27155411609521245472008-09-26T19:13:00.000+02:002008-09-26T19:13:00.000+02:00I've only just started learning it last year, and ...I've only just started learning it last year, and I admit that learning a new language becomes not as easy as you get older, but it's of course doable as long as you have the passion and time.<BR/><BR/>I encounter Japanese now and then back, whether it's some products on sale in shops back home or simply browsing through websites ont the Internet. My sister watches a lot of drama and talk shows so she gets quite a bit of exposure on it as she self-learns the langauge.<BR/><BR/>I personally think that it's a convenience to know at least a bit if you are to face the language quite often, whether it's for hobby-related things or not. It's definitely not an easy language to learn, but it's definitely rewarding when you are slowly getting fluid with it.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369771267899546737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372076264900656116.post-82761348772069972742008-09-25T13:41:00.000+02:002008-09-25T13:41:00.000+02:00@ phenie.Interesting, you really know your stuff a...@ phenie.<BR/>Interesting, you really know your stuff and not to forget, a diligent person ^^<BR/>The fruits of your effort have certainly paid off. I wish you well for your plans to go to Japan!<BR/><BR/>@bk201.<BR/>Thank you for commenting on my blog m(_ _)m<BR/>I think it's rarer for people to fully appreciate the culture and language; actually wanting to know more about it. <BR/>You seem to be heading in the right direction, even picking it up so early!<BR/>I understand your feelings of being compelled to learn the language.sukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726234918210128768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372076264900656116.post-197919748466585622008-09-24T00:00:00.000+02:002008-09-24T00:00:00.000+02:00I started learning in Year 8 and I found that I wa...I started learning in Year 8 and I found that I was really good at it, after coming first in one test. After that I guess I wanted to keep learning the language, taking it up as an elective subject. I did start watching anime, and it probably did spring the urge for me to learn more but I also had this feeling that I must learn the whole language. <BR/><BR/>I've set a goal to somehow study, work or live in Japan, but that's a few years down the track.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372076264900656116.post-58434414372206122392008-09-23T18:13:00.000+02:002008-09-23T18:13:00.000+02:00I've been self-studying the langauge for close on ...I've been self-studying the langauge for close on 5 years now... why? <BR/>I just love it, I love the sound of the language, I love the culture behind it, I love the media produced in it, I love the people who speak it, I love the look of it. I love the songs that are sung in it.<BR/><BR/>I was studying Actuarial Science last year when it hit me - I don't want to do this... I want to learn Japanese... I mean I had been self-studying it for years before, so I really wanted to perfect it... so that's exactly what I did, I put my studies on hold, saved money for a Japanese course in Japan... and now I'm simply awaiting the day I leave...<BR/><BR/>I believe that as long as you enjoy the language than studying it is never hard - most of my vocabulary comes from songs, simply because I love listening to them. Check out www.lang-8.com if you're studying any foreign language - it's very nice as anything you post is corrected by native speakers, I just found it, but I'm really enjoying using it.<BR/><BR/>An IRC channel to practice Japanese... I'd idle in it, ^^Mitsuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455680767095701374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372076264900656116.post-62754378666020090762008-09-23T15:20:00.000+02:002008-09-23T15:20:00.000+02:00@ nomadicwriter.

I've always wanted to learn a different language and I love not only otaku things about japan but its culture etc so it just seems to fit that I want to try and learn more, so i can understand the language of things i love ^_^<BR/> <BR/>I just stated over at my blog that playing battle rondo will be a big motivation to learn, I also might buy a couple of novels, books and manga in japanese to help as motivation as well as watching things in japanese.. <BR/><BR/>but this is probably far in the future as I am still only a noob!<BR/><BR/>I'll probably find more games and other things in japanese along the way to help motivation wise!NomadicWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901679813885124393noreply@blogger.com
