    I'm 14... I've been interested in it for awhile. It strikes people strangely when I tell them that I am not a big fan of anime and only a small video game player but I want to learn it because I am basically just interested in the culture mainly.

    not only am in interested in the culture, and making new friends.

    but i think that in order for a person to truly grow in life s/he need's to experience and learn from diff culters.

    and besides.. i like talking to people

    I want to learn Japanese and am teaching myself, the reasons are many. First, so I can communicate with my boyfriend in his language for once, second I'd like to teach english in Japan when I grow up (if that ever happens ), Third I'd like to beable to watch anime without subs, forth it's a lot prettier than english, and fifth, the culture is more interesting than anywhere else I've researched.

    Alas: My parental units think that it's a waste of time, oh wait, there's a sixth reason, rebellion.
