My Japanese knowledge isn't very strong currently so I'm just going to start with English right now. x3
My name is Ana. I'm eighteen years old and live in the United States. There's several reasons why I enjoy learning Japanese, even if I'm not doing so in a serious setting currently. I love the writing system, and despite it's challenges I enjoy it. Perhaps my artistic spirit adds to the fun. I also like the culture in many ways. The fashion, history, and art all are very inspiring to me. I like several animes, games, and musicians from Japan, so knowing at least part of the language would be very helpful. My interest first started when I was a kid and was fortunate enough to get to live in Okinawa for three years. I loved it, and ever since it was apart of my life somehow.
It would be nice to visit again, anywhere really. Tokyo would be great for all the things going on, the districts like Harajuku and such. I'd also love to see their gardens and traditional architecture again.
