Hi all at JRef!
My name is Marchi. I am a video game Producer (yaay!).
I've always liked Japan (in Holland where I'm from there was once a cinema viewing of Akira and Ghost in the Shell and I was intrigued since). I wouldn't consider myself the typical 'fan of Japan, I want to be Japanese' but more someone who is interested in their culture.
I was in Osaka and Tokyo last year (I was in South-Korea for work and then went to Japan since it was the perfect opportunity, my colleague who was there as well suggested this and it was a great plan!).
I totally fell in love with Tokyo (Osaka is cool too but I was there very short).
A lot has happened in my life lately and I wanted to find something positive, interesting and unique to put my energy into and I thought 'a very big challenge would be to learn Japanese.. but I have learned several languages (I used to live in Madrid and learned Spanish, I used to live in Germany and learned German and now I live in Portugal and I'm learning Portuguese) so I can learn languages.
My question to all you guys is: what have your experiences been with learning Japanese?
Also important: where do I start? And how do I practice while not being in Japan (internet duh, but where?)
Arigato!
