Wow, I am extremley jealous of you (for being in your current position now, mind you).
I am sixteen years old, and have been more or lessed
obsessed with Japanese culture and their language since I took part in an exploratory course around grade five.
I'm taking a beginners Japanese course at the U of M during the summer right now, and I really want to go to Japan for a year to teach English (to Highschool students, not College).
<- I'd
love to teach there. >3<
ANYWAY.
I was just wondering..
Were you very fluent when you first began living in Japan?
If not, how long did it take you to become so? Did you just learn from being around others, or did you enroll in classes there to learn the language?
Thanks!
