[WingsToDiscovery]

I started learning Japanese because I had to, but I ended up enjoying it. I found out that I'd be moving here, so I purchased a few books and did some cram studying before arriving. Here in Japan is where I had my first ever official class in Japanese. Now that it's required I study at least to proficiency for my major, it gives me something to work on every day.
Now it's become more or less a way of keeping me sane. It gets so annoying not understanding people, or only ever getting the gist of what people are saying. That's my motivation to keep learning.
