I tried to read Japanese manga and website but I was still unable to understand them. :/ However, I play Final Fantasy XI on Japanese version. I am able to learn many vocabulary. I am able to communicate between Japanese people but not at all. Lots of Japanese people said that I am very good at Japanese but my Japanese is still basic. lol
For now, I am studying Japanese for intermediate level in my own because I am unable to return to college.
Also, I am studying Japanese Sign Language because I am deaf.
よろしくです～ (*゜ー゜)

頑張れ！！！
I'm cheering for you!
I used to work with the Deaf community in Maryland, USA. I volunteered at the bi-annual American Deaf-Blind Association conference (which was actuallyl held at my university), and it was one of the highlights of my life. I used to be fluent in ASL, but I haven't used it for years, so I think I'm limited to basic conversation at this point
HOWEVER! One of my professors at my University in Japan, an American, is very much involved in the Japanese Deaf community and is fluent in spoken Japanese and JSL. He's one of the presidents of the Deaf association in the Osaka area, so if you ever come to Osaka, PM me and I'll hook you up!
