Long time user, first time poster. First off, great....no...REALLY great site. Im Giuliano from the Netherlands, now living over a year in Japan Osaka and have to say I use this site DAILY to shape up my Japanese and increase my kanji vocabulary. The best, the fastest and the easiest site to study Japanese from on the web period. Thanks.
Hi all! With over 100 comments here, I'm going to keep this as short as I can.
Name's David.
I'm an Alternate Language Teacher in Gunma-ken on the JET program.
Been studying Japanese since high school, currently gearing up for the JLPT 1 next month.
Love the site!
Hi!
My name is Roald, I am from South Africa. I was an English teacher in Japan for a year teaching at five elementary schools. I have been studying Japanese for the past 2 and a half years or so from books and CDs and now a little from experience in Japan. The jisho.org website really helped me in Japan and still does so thank you VERY MUCH! I really appreciate the help!
Peace!
Hi. Im Jaganshi. Working as tester in Lexmark.:)
this is my first time to visit this forum. Reason, I was curious.:)
However, I've been using this site for translation and as an aid for studying Japanese language specially for vocabulary and grammar.
As i red through the posts, well, obviously, it gave me enough courage to study again. Last month, i gave up because i feel like i was alone. But my obsession for learning is still there - the obsession to talk, write, and speak japanese..
When I landed here, reading over the discussion, i was quite a bit surprise and happy.
It gave me a new goal. New hope. New inspiration.
Thanks to you Kim
Hello everyone.
I am a old learner of Japanese, but majority was self teaching.
By no means am I able to use Japanese well, but I am working on it.
Been using the site for a while, but today I started reading the forum.
I found a lot of really great questions and discussions on Japanese language, mentality and culture.
So, I decided to join up and make some responses.
I hope I can improve and absorb more.
Thank you so much for creating such a useful resource.
Hello, I'm American and I've been self-teaching myself Japanese for the past five years. I still have a long way to go but my goal is to learn as many languages as I can and to become a translator. I'll use any resource I can get my hands on. Right now I've memorized hiragana and katakana, and I've got about 400-500 kanji memorized. I'm still not so good with vocab though. I mostly use what I've learned to translate manga on mangahelpers and this site has helped me so much since I've started doing it. I do get stuck a lot though, which just goes to show how far I have to go. But I'm learning more and more everyday and I don't plan on giving up anytime soon.
I'll be studying in Japan for a semester next fall so I want to learn as much as I can before then.
Hello Everyone..I am an Indian and I started learning Japanese five months back and have already given my JLPT Level 3 exams and awaiting results..Though Japanese can be really confusing and may I add, irritating, at times but still I am loving the whole process and through this forum I hope to learn much from you guys also..
Hello guys!
I'm not an old user of this forum. BTW, I have interest in Japanese Language and I'm putting the lessons and methods of what I'm learning in my blog. Have a look and submit your comments out there:

Hey peoples,
I have actually never studied Japanese or been to Japan but I do know some Japanese from watching Anime with english subs, however I do not know how to read or write Japanese and I sometimes do look up words from my Anime on this site and see how the kanji is written and compare it to other similar words.
Hello!
I've used Denshi Jisho as my kanji translator/dictionary for a couple of years. And since then I didn't know about this forum. I discovered it when the main site went down.
Cheers!
I got a degree in East Asian Languages: Japanese from UC Berkeley in ''92 and have been studying off and on since then. The Kanji by Radical function is great. Thanks a lot. I'm trying to translate older authors like Tanizaki, Akutagawa, and Shiga Naoya, and also want to get back into Classical Japanese and translating the Tale of Genji and Hojoki and that kind of thing. I'd love to hear about any accessible resources for learning that kind of thing, or to hear from other people translating such things. I also would like to know what kind of electronic dictionaries and so forth people are using these days. I also wonder if I can get better fonts for my computer. It is a pain to read the ugly fonts I have on this Windows Vista computer. Email me at christopherfarrell at gmail.

私はコーテイです。ウエスタンカラライナ大学の学生です。
I am a music major at college and really enjoy taking japanese. I took japanese 101 to fulfill my language requirement and I strongly enjoyed it.
I am now in beginning japanese II, and plan on picking up a japanese minor^^. The textbook we use in class is げんき, which i find to be really helpful.
I started my interest in japanese when i first got into reading manga and watching anime as a kid. since then my interest has grown, and along with having an interest in linguistics in general, my dream job would be to work with Square Enix, and/or Nobuo Uematsu himself.
I found this site when i was looking for the hiragana equivalent of a kanji wasn't sure about. I really like how the site works and how good it seems.
Nice to meet you all!
