This blog is written to facilitate my learning of the Japanese language, because language ability truly requires extracurricular practice in order to improve. It really is a case of the more, the better.
As to why I am taking Japanese, truth be told, I have actually wanted to take Japanese since I was little. I began watching anime and reading or at least looking at pictures from Japan in National Geographic since around the age of five. I always planned to take Japanese once I got to college and study abroad there. As it turned out, I ended up taking Chinese and studying abroad in China as I reckoned that it would ultimately prove easier to study Chinese first then Japanese rather than the other way around. Now I finally have the opportunity to take Japanese and so I am. Thus far it has not proved too terribly difficult, I hope things do not change too much. I understand that Japanese is supposed to get more difficult grammatically as time progress. I guess we will see!
