Hi everyone !
Name: Marine Coming to you from: France First Breath: May 24th 1992 My intentions: Intending high school in England (London) and living in Japan or Korea. I'm a globetrotter I love travelling ! I want to be a teach in one of these country. Not only because it's an easily reachable job, but because I love languages (I'm able to speak 5 languages) Why do you want to go to Japan: I've already been in Japan. First, let's clear up things, I don't like manga or anime !  (I used to watch anime when I was 11, but I don't like Japan for Hello Kitty) And yet, I like drawing anime girls (don't ask me why, I'm just weird  )I love Japan for its beautiful cities and landscapes ! I love japanese food, cooking japanese food, and so on ! Bye bye ^,^/

Name: darthlobo
Coming to you from: US & A First Breath: December 6, 1986 intentions and whatnot: I'm trying to learn Japanese all by my lonesome, and I figured if I need some pointers I can come here and there's enough fellow geeks to get my back. why do you want to go to japan: It's just something I've always wanted to do. When I was like 5 Seaseme Street had a special called "Big Bird Goes to Japan", and ever since I've decided I'm going. It won't be anytime soon, but in the meantime I plan on learning as much as I can.

Hi there! I'm Andy and I love Japan! I went on a trip to Japan this past August and loved it so much that I decided to go back. I'm hoping to go back to Japan to teach English in about a year and a half. Since then, I've been using Rosetta Stone to learn Japanese. It's much harder than I thought it would be!
I graduated from Washington State University in 2007 with a degree in elementary education. While doing my student teaching, I realized that teaching children wasn't something I was ready to devote myself to, so after I graduated, I got a job working at a winery. It turns out they wanted people with Elementary Education degrees!  If you would like to get to know me better, please feel free to reply to this post! Name: Andy Coming to you from: Pasco, Washington State, USA First Breath: April 4, 1984 Intentions: To get to know Japanese people and others with an interest in Japan Why do you want to go to Japan: To learn more about Japanese culture

Heya and ようこそ Can I just say, you like the Rosetta stone  I have never heard of anyone rating it for Japanese. Have a look around and see what other people use if you are finding that too difficult, there is lots of choice out there.Where abouts in Japan did you visit? I also want to go and teach in Japan, waiting to hear back from the JET Programme right now! Unlike you I am loving the teaching modules I am studying in my Undergrad degree and my time spent volunteering in elementary (and now upper) schools

I was in Osaka for most of the time, but I spent a little time in Kyoto too. How is JET? They were the ones I was thinking of getting involved with. I've heard they pay the best and treat you the best. Haha, teaching just wasn't something I was prepared to do three years ago. I guess I hadn't grown up enough yet. How are you enjoying your teaching experience?

Hello from a JP newbie -

Hi guys,
I am new here in JF. Just want to say Konnichiwa and Dozo yoroshiku!! I have browsed around for a bit and found quite a lot of friendly helpful people here which prompted me to join. I have just returned from Japan last Sunday. It was my third visit to the land of the rising sun now, but I still enjoyed every moment of it as if it was my first time. I went to Tokyo for 3 weeks in August 2008, 3 more weeks in Kobe in July 2009 and 2 and half weeks in Osaka this time. Had an amazing time, loved the Japanese food and can not wait to get back. As a matter of fact, I will be heading back to Japan in April if all goes well for 1 year to study Japanese at a Language school full time, so that is something to look forward to  Hope you all are having a wonderful 2010!
