Hi.
I'm 19 years old and want to move to Japan. My mom is so against it.
I've been in love with Japan since I was a little girl. My mom makes fun of me, because when she was little and all her life she wanted to go to China. She said I must have gotten China and Japan confused when I was in the womb.
Anyways, I am learning Japanese through the net, and it easy for the most part but you can't get much out of it because it seems to skip around and no one is there to actually correct you if your saying something wrong, and its confusing because I've been Ohayou spelled like five different ways. Ohayo, Ohaiyo, Ohayou...and thats all I remember right now . Its tough so I am planning to take Asian Studies-Japanese as one of my major, it teaches culture, history and language, at a larger University. At the moment I am working on my English major at a local college. I want to be a novelist (I have 17 chapters done of my first book!), and was looking into the JET program. My dream is not only to visit Japan but to live there and get married there.
I'm also looking into an exchange student program they have at the larger university I want to go to.
