The Denshi Jisho Forum is a place for people to help each other with Japanese, and a great way for users to get together and socialize.

Hi everyone. My name is Emily (obviously) and I live in the USA. I'm currently in my 3rd quarter of Japanese at my college, so I'm not too good yet, but I think I'm at a good beginner level right now. I'm studying Japanese because of many reasons, first off I love languages, history and culture (not just of Japan) and wish to learn Chinese and German after I learn Japanese. I'm also a bit of a nerd in that I like manga and some anime (mostly like manga more though) but I'm not one of those annoying otaku you come across a lot. はじめまして。

hello,
my name is Ramon, I am from Brazil and I like to study japanese as everyone here. I am a beginner and have great dificulty with kanjis and also collocation. So, this on-line disho became a suberb toll. Thanks a lot for the developers! I use it almost everyday.
Hope to progress in the study together with you guys!
Hi, name's Michael. I stumbled upon this nifty site while looking for (you guessed it) Japanese learning/translation aid; I had been using Breen's JWPCE quite often but the thing that got me hooked here was the Search by Radical function (I find it infinitely easier than Jim's) and it started all from there; I haven't had any formal Japanese teaching, most of this is self learned (And I'm pretty sure that if I took a test I would fail, miserably) but it's something of a hobby, I like the culture and I really think that the key to understanding culture is understanding its language.
I will probably come here and bug some of you with help with a sentence or two that might help (I had the dubious honor of bugging Kim before with an interjection based question) and I hope to pull more and more people here later on.

Welcome to the forums!
I started my Japanese studies with self learning as well, I wish you good luck :) While it's far from as fast as "proper" education in Japanese, it's without a doubt possible to become very good if you're determined. If you need advice on more resources for learning japanese on your own, feel free to ask!
Hello!
My name is Fiona, but feel free to use FiFi if you want. I'm a linguist and a polyglot, and Japanese is my fourth language. I'm studying Japanese is college, and have completed one year of it so far. So, as one would expect, I have lots of questions for those who know more about Japanese than I do. This website is an amazing resource. Webmaster, you have my utmost respect!
Before this, I taught myself Sindarin. I have a linguistic resource website for Tolkien fanfiction writers. http://realelvish.net I'm thinking about making a similar website for people writing fanfiction of Japanese Manga and Anime. However, I need a bit more translation experience.
Oh yeah, personal stuff! I'm from a sheep and horse ranch in Belgrade, Montana. It's a small town (but big for Montana). I love it dearly.
I'm getting married in two weeks!
The language I studied and learned after English isn't human. I can talk to chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and ducks. I was six-years-old, and desperate for a language to study.
That's about all I can think of. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu! *bows*
Well, well, I've pretty much just discovered Denshi Jisho. Don't know much about it, going through a few of the forum posts. Anyway, my name is Francis, but I suppose since this is a japanese site, feel free to call me Furanchisu. I'm just a random kid very much interested in cultures and language overall, but I find japanese especially fascinating. I don't really know why, but I find that the language is beautiful. The words kind of flow on your tongue, you know? I could probably attempt a sort-of conversation in japanese with the amount I know, but some of it would have to be improvised. I hardly know any kanji/kana/hiragana, but I intend to learn quite soon. I also want to take classes in the fall, so that'll do me a lot of good. I hope that I'll be able to practice some of my language skills with you here and to learn as much as I possibly can in the time I am given.
Thank you~
I'm only writing my introduction in Japanese! 日本語だけの方がいいでしょうね。
