Hello. Nice to meet you.
My name is Keicyan. I stay in Hove for 5 weeks and I'll stay for more around 1 year.
Last friday I finished language school,because I don't have enough money...after that I'll work here. So now I'm looking for job. But my speaking is terrible.
After 1 year I'll come back to Japan and I hope I'll be able to look for job which have relation to English.
I live in center of Japan now with my English husband and a new born daughter. We're thinking about moving to England in couple of years and Brighton is one of the biggest possible place where to settle in.
I have been there only for once and loved it. I always enjoy reading Boo-san's essay about her life in Brighton and I would love to know more.
Excuse my English, actually I expect joining this commumity will help improving my English.
Hello my names Tom.
Im a student at Brighton university. Im hoping to make friends with people I can do language exchange with. But my Japanese isn't very good.
I like books, movies, playing the guitar and drinking beer. (Ive just read Haruki Murakami's 'wind-up bird chronicle' and I thought it was amazing!)
yoroshiku!
It is nice to see that people have joined already.
I should tell you all a little about myself.
I am 34 and was born in the North of England. I moved around the world a lot as a kid as my dad's job took him overseas. I moved to the Brighton area about 10 years ago and really like it here.
I have a very boring day job - I work as a tax manager for a large firm of accountants.
I am enjoying learning to play guitar and have started going to Thai boxing twice a week. I used to go when I was a lot younger and have decided to get fit again.
I love beer and Japanese food! If anyone wants a beer in Brighton let me know - I often go for a drink after work on a friday!
If anyone would like me to correct their English then I would be happy to try and help whenever I have some time. I think it is great that so many Japanese people learn English - I find Japanese very hard to learn and never seem to have enough time. I have visited Japan 3 times and plan to go again next year. Yakiniku! yahoo!
Hello!
I am ○○years old gir. I'm from Yokohama in Japan.
I came to UK in 2001 for looking after disabled people.
It'll be a very long story.I'll tell you again later.
I have a lovely cat called Jiji. She got 2 mice tonight and I was surprised!
It has been a long time since the last comment by BOO-san in this topic. I hope this community is still working and going on.
My name is NaYa. I was born and raised in Japan but my family moved to Los Angeles while I was studying in U.K. It was long, long time ago I first stayed in Brighton and Hove area for 9 months studying English. After that, I went to U.S. International University, Bushy, Herts. (which name has been changed to Alliance University currently.) Totally I stayed in U.K. for 4 years and now in New York for over 20 years. Even though I reside in U.S., I still like British English better. I might not speak with British accent, but last year when my friends came from England, I was speaking with them in British! That was surprise to me!
