Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I saw that a lot of people are posting for friends and stuff. I would like to communicate with people interested in telling me their story. Yeah, because I think everybody has a story to tell. Here's mine. If you don't want to read it you can just jump to my description.
I'm 17 years old, and will turn 18 in august. I'm born in Nicaragua. You might have never heard of this little country located under Honduras in Central America. So my mothertongue was Spanish. My familly moved to Canada, (Montreal), when I was still little and I learned French as fast as hell. So fast that my Spanish is now kinda poor. Yes, for those who don't know, they speak French in Montreal XD. I studied music at elementary school and played violin for 7 years. Then at highschool I changed and started playing Euphonium (its like a little Tuba). At the begining, I could even make a sound with that instrument since I was more used to intruments with strings... but within a month I could play as well as all the other students. Then at the fourth year of my highschool i decided to stop music because it demanded a lot of efforts and I was in a special program which required more work. But I didn't entirely stop music, I bought a guitar and started learning it by myself.
I discovered that I was good at learning things XD.
One day, my friend gave me an anime to watch, it was "NHK ni youkoso". That was the first time I heard Japanese, no kidding. First of all, I found Japanese to be a very beautiful language, simple (for pronounciation) but effective. And I also loved "NHK ni youkoso", to be honest it made me cry.
So thats how I started learning Japanese. I bought a book and 1 weeks later I could read Katana and Hiragana. In 2 weeks I was better at Japanese than my friend who took classes during 1 or 2 years. But thats because I worked alot. Everyday, I would study 4 to 5 hours, sometimes even more. I was still a
newbie tho... My vocabulary wasn't very rich and I couldn't make complete sentences easily.
In Quebec, highschool is 5 years and then you start something they call "CEGEP" which is like college. Now I'm at my second year of college and I study Computer Science. I always wanted to be a programmor and create games. I find japanese video games very original and somewhat special.
Now I am here. As many of you I want to live in Japan. Sometimes I asked myself "Why? Why do I want to go to Japan and live there?". I found that living in Japan as no reason for me. Its more like that living in Japan IS the reason. For that, it doesn't need to be justified because its my project as a human being.
-- Description
If I had to describe myself, I would say that I'm tan, skinny, I have short brown hair and brown eyes. I have ten fingers which are very useful. I'm kinda in the average for the height. I have big eyes and I wear glasses.
I like video games but I'm not like some freaks XD. I play them with an artist eye and heart. My music style is Deathmetal but not Metallica and Iron Maiden. I'm more Dark Tranquility, The Crown and Quo Vadis for those who know. This is what I prefer but really I can listen to everything as long as its not repetitive or too simple. In fact I like all songs that can give me emotions.
I like helping people, teaching things, learning things and thinking.
Thats my story. What is yours? I'm sure it's very interesting and I think its a good way to introduce yourself.
