I`m always willing to give help, or at least my opinions on things related to Japan. I think I`m especially strong at helping out non-native Japanese speakers with the language. Also, helping others understand the culture, such as U.S. businessmen who have to do business with Japanese. I`m not doing translations right now, unless it`s just a phrase or a word.

Hi Jennifer, I'm a little bit torn about how to help you out here, and here's why. Generally, foreign names are not represented in Japanese using "kanji" (the characters that you are referring to that
Hi Joe. Heh, if I could answer this question any more clearly than anyone else, I could make a bundle selling it. :) Well, rather than re-invent the wheel, I did some Internet research on it. If
