so i'm learning to speak and write/read japanese these days. My teacher is this mega cute japanese girl who joined our martial arts dojo a while ago. Of course i got the major hots for her and she's super friendly but romantically cagey at the same time.
Anyway, its great learnin a language with a native speaker an d i'm getting a real kick out of trying to remember all the characters... 3 writing systems with 1000's of characters. Its the first time ive studied something academically in years. anyone else ...wakarimasu ka?

romantically cagey = rapist speak for "she's not interested"
I like learning japanese...however you shouldn't have had the questionmark after the ka :)
I can read and write hiragana and katakana and I know a couple of hundred kanji...I'm not an intensive learner though, just as a hobby.
I am also trying to learn Spanish to a better standard.

If you are fluent, you can earn bundles working as a translator or teacher.

ecnadniarb : yep.. i see it as a hobby too but do hope some of it comes in handy in january when i arrive in tokyo for 2 weeks. I really like the caligraphy part of it and must get a Shodo set. This teacher has a license in the art of calligraphy too and i can defo see how its good for the mind. (and her body)

haha. I hope to finally get to Japan next year some time. The sooner the better. Apparently you have to learn 2000 individual Kanji in addition to hiragana and katakana before you can just get by reading a newspaper. I can understand a few phrases that crop up often but I am still far off from being able to read and write fluently. My spoken Japanese is a little better but not having a native speaker to practice with is really a pain.
