Hello all, my name is Mike I'm from the north of England and have recently started working for a Japanese automotive company in England. I have a little knowledge of the Japanese language from my son watching anime and from my ju-jitsu classes.
I want to learn japanese to better communicate with my superiors at work (although they all speak English very well) and I want to further my studies in ju-jitsu and extend it to the more traditional side as well as the martial arts side.
I look forward to hearing from you all, I am just starting my journey to learning japanese and although I know the hiragana characters I am still practicing the stroke order.
