[Lights_Kira]

AF user name:Lights_Kira

Japanese level: In the middle of Beginner and Elementary. I'm not quite sure. I am currently aiming to pass JLPT4. If all goes well by the end of the summer, I'm aiming straight for 3kyuu

other known languages: English, obviously. Some spanish and French.

Preferred type of communication: IM, PM, EMAIL, Anything. But When it comes down to actually studying, I prefer chat.
++++ "Fluent" Hiragana. I just started learning Kanji, so I really can't read much (also want some help on that...) I cant read Katakana, but I have a book so I guess it's fine.

other info: I'm currently learning from "Japanese for busy people" vol 1. I really need someone who would be able to chat with me so I can study what I've learned.

ex. Even if I know how to say "Im going to the movies, by car, with my friends next week"... because I have noone to speak with [in Japanese] It takes me a while to be able to put what I want to say in order in my head. Thats why, I'm able to practice, I would be able to "think" and "speak" faster!

Of course, I'm also willing to help my partner in any way I can!

EXTRA NOTE: I am serious in learning this language. Just thought I should mention.

----------------------------------------------------

"Im going to the movies, by car, with my friends tomorrow"

= "watashi wa asatte ni tomodachi to kuruma de eiga ni ikimasu" -- I believe...

[Greenflames]

AF Username: Greenflames
Japanese level: Beginner
Other known languages: Cantonese, English
Preferred type of communication: PM
Other Info: I know only a small amount of Japanese. I recently did a ten week course on Japanese, but I still don't know that much Japanese. I know a few phrases (some from watching anime), and some basic grammar points, but not a great deal. I have no real opportunity in my area to practise speaking japanese, so I would love to be able to actually converse with someone in japanese, and practise using the language, as well as learn more about talking in japanese. I LOVE anime, and just really like the japanese language itself...which is why I want to learn how to speak it so much. In my opinion, the japanese language is the cutest language hehe.
I don't mind if you use kanji if you can explain to me what they mean, since I don't know much kanji lol.

日本語、あるいは日本に関する疑問なら
