Hm... I think I may have only responded once.

I actually don't post on LJ anymore though I keep it active so I can read this journal and a few other communities. My journal is actually at http://journal.klenta.com. I actually haven't posted in it for quite a while and I should do that soon...

I find it quite fascinating that you're a German who's teaching English in Japan.

As for me, I'm a 26 year old American who is illiterate (not that speaking is any better...) at Chinese. I've studied a lot of languages (German, Spanish, French, and Japanese), but only two really caught my interest--German and Japanese. Sadly, my ability in all the languages have deteriorated. Which is why I got a Livemocha account and always hunting in the foreign language book section for something to help refresh and teach myself.

Of course being raised Chinese hasn't helped me at all! Well... Not as much I would have liked. I don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese. I'd only survive in Shanghai if I was thrown into China.

I don't mind if this is unscreened.
