Japanese Language/Expert Profile
Expertise
I have been teaching myself the language for the past seven years, having consistent practice with Japanese materials. I can help translate things from English to Japanese or vice versa. I can also help you get started if you're planning on taking up the language. =) I'm most familiar with things like anime, manga, J-pop, games and so on.
Experience in the area
I began learning the language in 1999. I frequently talk with penpals and natives in Japan, as well as continually keep up practicing with authentic Japanese materials.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Through questions asked to me on this site, I know I need to improve reading/writing cursive (sousho) script, as well as learn more about specific areas of Japanese history and cultural interest.
