Hey guys, I am a 15 year old girl wanting to learn Japanese, and I believe that the best way to do that is to talk to other people.
.::ENLGISH::.
I am taking advanced English Classes at my High School, and i am very good with spelling and grammar. I think I could help a lot.
I would be best suited to conversational English, and (If you would like) a little bit of slang. Mostly to use with friends and through Instant Messengers (Heya, What'cha up to?, etc.) Although, like I said, I know proper English well, thanks to my Acc. class.
.::JAPANESE::.
I want to learn conversational Japanese, but I also want to know some proper Japanese because, well, you should know that if you want to visit Japan someday, right?
I have the language pack and IME, so that's all set.
I know the Japanese "alphabet" A (あ), I (い), U (う), E (え), O (お), KA (か), KI (き), KU (く), KE (け), KO (こ), etc... and I know how to pronounce them. I know most Hiragana and I want to work on my Katakana some more. I won't even try to get into Kanji, yet.
I also know some basic words: おはよ、こんいちわ、こんばんわ、おやそみんあさい、おげんきですか？、なんですか？、etc. I just hope I have them right and I know there are many different ways of saying one thing, and I would like to learn those.
I don't know Japanese grammar very well, but I know the basics. (Object, subject, verb...)

I want to use MSN or Windows Live Messenger because you can talk through there using microphones. That would be best, because we could work on pronunciation and "hear-say" techniques.
Sorry if you speak Japanese or some other language and can't understand me, I promise I will make it easier for you when we talk on MSN, depending on your English ability
As you can see, I need a lot of help. Thanks for taking the time to read all of this and I can't wait to hear from you! <3
