Introduction

Hello,

Im still fairly new to Japan, got here right at the end of July. Just been hanging out and working.

I am looking to study japanese more and have come here in search of real tips. The people i have been working with keep telling me, "Get a japanese girlfriend." Which I dont object to in theory, however since im not good at meeting people, and my japanese is really basic it doesnt seem to work.

So, Hiya, and please point me to the best place to buy some self teaching books I already have learned how to speak spanish, and i have katakana hirigana and a few kanji down, just need to have some practical application.


Thanks,
RubyRawd

Welcome to the forum! Hope you'll enjoy your time here!

From the muffled, clould covered hills in these Japan Alps, I send you a big WELCOME to Jref !! I know that you will be able to learn some useful expressions and clause formulas here in the Japanese Language fora that will help you learn, that will help you in being able to communicate more so as to get a girlfriend, and so on...

Please do check out the whole forum as well, and post when you can !! I look forward to hearing more from you ! See you 'round !!

I wasnt really meaning that i was in search of a girl friend actively... but thats what everone told me i should do to learn japanese, and i think thats wrong.
