Hi. I'm Kayla and I'm a student at the University of Georgia in the US. This is my first year learning Japanese so my teacher invited me to join mixi to learn more. I'm 19 years old and a freshman in college. I like pretty much everything that other people like to do in their spare time. I like Japanese anime and video games. Hopefully I'll learn how to read manga this summer.

and now i am university student in Taiwan.
when i was in America i met many Japanese friends,
and they introduce me to join mixi!

I am a Human Being, I am 22 years old, and i work in the United States Navy.

Where am I? Well, I am usually everywhere...
Right now, I am in a hell hole called, "Norfolk, Virginia"
Being in the navy and all, I tend to live in a lot of different places...

So far, I have studied Japanese for 7 years.. So I am pretty damn fluent.. If i say so.. =]

I've visited Japan 4 times already.. And I am planning on going again this December for 3 weeks..

That's me in a nutshell! =]

Hi, I'm Leslie from Hungary, Budapest. I'm 35 years old, and I'm working in IT, for a Hungarian news-portal.

I have been learning Japanese for a year now, mainly on weekends as my work and my 1 year old son keeps me busy all the time .
A few of my colleagues speaks very well Japanese and have a lot of Japanese friends here in Hungary, they invited to Mixi.

So here I am!

ウィール: "I am a Human Being"? Is the US Navy taking away your humanity? Thanks for the intro.

karatedog: Nice to meet you! You may be our first Hungarian member !

Hello world!

My name is Justin! I came from a very very small country that you can hardly see on the map The name of my country is Singapore. Our country is named as Singapore because the person who named out country saw a lion when he first step onto our country. Singa = Lion and Pore = City in Malay language.

A country that is greatly influence by Japanese culture in one way or another. Japanese restaurant, pub,shopping center, school, saloon, karaoke, products and many many more!

Even my whole family is very into Japanese culture or any Japan related stuff. My dad, brother and sister can speak Japanese very well. As for me, I'm trying my best to learn Japanese from books, drama and anime because one of my dream is to migrate to Japan and open my own shop there. Furthermore, I'm blessed with opportunities to work with Japanese company in my country during my holiday to allow me to learn and practice more of my Japanese, for example, Takashimaya Departmental Store and JTB.

JTB will be a more fun job to be in as I will be interacting with Japanese around my age and bringing them around my country for nice foods and sight seeing. At the same time, getting to know some lastest news, trends and happening in Japan.

I'm also part of my school Japanese culture group. A group that allow us to share and learn new Japanese culture ranging from Manga drawing to Sushi making

Only been to Japan once. Visited Kyuushu, Kumamoto! Fallen in love with the weather, people, city and food over there. Will really wish to visit Japan again soon! If financial and time allows...

I'm 20 this year and still trying my best to find my first girlfriend. I'm born in the year 1988, the year of the Dragon according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar and a Pices for my horoscope.

Graduating from my so called high school in Singapore early next year and will have to serve in the army for 2 years(complusory for all Singaporean able bodied male) before I can either enter university or start working.

Hi!

I'm Alex, I live in Moldova and my native language is Romanian. I'm mostly technically inclined (graduated Mechanical Engineering and working as a programmer) but I'm "into" languages, though I don't shoot for quantity but rather quality >:)

Used to work as a translator between French and English for a *long* time, now it's back to my original love, programming. I'm not too good, please don't tell anyone...

As for Japanese, been doing it for 2 years, with disastrous consequences so far :) But practice makes perfect... I *really* like it, the sound, the writing, the grammar, everything.

(Love the "BAKA GAIJIN" in the description of this community :))

hi how's it going

Hello everyone

I'm Japanese and living in Tokyo with my family(husband and son), working in the public relations section.
I love watching various sports, especially football (soccer), rugby and tennis.
At the moment I'm studying Spanish by myself.
I love travelling. I've been to Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia.
I'm very interested in languages and cultures in foreign countries.

If you like, visit my page and leave some comments (although they are almost only in Japanese).

I have some experience to teach Japanese by exchanging emails.
I would be very happy to help you when you have any questions about Japanese.
Thanks☆

My name is Gerard and I moved to Japan 2 weeks ago.

Finding out the hard way that without speaking Japanese or having an English teaching degree I'm seriously screwed when it comes to employment.

If anyone knows of any jobs available for hardworking Dutch and English speaking computer guys please let me know. Been thinking of doing private English teaching.

Awesome! Anyone else here?
