Hello, Wanting to learn Japanese Language led me to search and found JREF. Learning a language is not enough so the best way is to have friends from Japan and learn direct their language and culture and establish a good communication and friendship. I do hope there will be some good Japanese friends to help me learn Japanese. I come from the islands of Philippines, I live in Quezon City near the City of Manila. You can also email me at kalliktris@gmail.com or mikkeisrich@yahoo.com
There is a lot of info here in old posts on Japanese language. Up above under "CLASSIFIEDS" you can find penpals etc. . Glad you found JREF, post often & enjoy!
Greetings from the Japan Alps amikke san !! I'm not Japanese, but have lived here for some almost 21 years. I'm sure you can find some Japanese friends here on the fourm or through the forum. I have three sons, the oldest being 17, and he's about as Japanese as you can get; I don't know your age, but if both of you are interested, I can suggest that he make contact with you.
Have fun on the forum, post when you can, and learn and share with all of us. See you 'round !!
