i lived in japan for 5 years as a kid. about three of them in ashiya. i remember my very first day at school. i couldn't speak a single word of japanese. by the time i left japan i was fluent in reading and writing, however living in the uk i've forgotten alot of it so watching the dramas keeps me refreshed, just about! :mrgreen:

p.s. the girls at school were gorgeous! :naughty:

wow, you were flluent? cool, i am sure you can pick it back up, if you practice/use some of it...
j-girls are very nice... :naughty: :bonk: :thumbsup:

in the week i was there, this past May, i picked up a few phrases, and memorized them, but i still am practicing hiragana and katakana, and some grammar, maybe it'll help for my next visit to japan. :bonk:

yeah, a month or so would be good, even better, get a japanese girlfriend and she can help out even more. :woot: :thumbsup:

my father's an english teacher out in japan and once a month he used to teach a small group of nurses. one day i went along and met them. i kind of took a shine to one of them and asked her if she'd be interested in writing to me. she said yes and it started like that. :mrgreen:

that's been the case forever, buddy...that's why ppl in tokyo go out all the time....and they kick it in the city...they don't have gatherings at ppl's homes very often only for lack of space....it's like in new york, too....the city is your living room..because you don't have one! :shakehead:
