Konnichiwa!
I'd like to join!

I'm trying to teach myself japanese. I got some books for my birthday, and I know a good site so I'm doing pretty well. I still suck at it though ^^
I was going to take a japanese class, but so far I haven't found anyone where I live *stupit isolated island scream *
I think my most succesfull sentence so far would be: Watashi wa kyou gakkou ni ikimasen. I think this was right for : I didn't go to school today...

I think this thread is a good idea, and I would love to have it a guilt, but guilts cost so much and it's still possible to use just this normal thread, so I don't think it would be nessesary to make a guilt.

And I will be coming here often, I won't just leave forever after this post ^^

I like the hiragana game. Great to learn words and keeps me from forgetting hiragana.
