Thanks. :) I honestly haven't been to many places in Japan, so I don't know how much I would like/dislike them. I've only been to Kobe, Kyoto and a few outlying areas. I do like the more rural/suburban areas around Kobe, though. Not only could I probably not afford anything in a major city, but I've...

Well, you guys have encouraged me. Thanks for that. As of now, my Japanese isn't bad for 2yrs of self-study, but it's no where near good enough. But I'm not planning on looking for a job right now. A more immediate goal is to work on my Japanese, and take the JLPT. Anyway, thanks for the honest repl...

So I take it an Associates is pretty worthless, huh? That sucks. And I was looking into translation work. If it's possible, I might try to find some work over here w/ a translation company for some experience, and at least try to get a Class 2 on the JLPT. Think that would make you interesting enoug...

lol No, I don't plan on comitting fraud or working illegally. I do have an Associate's degree if that helps at all. I just don't think I have the time/ money to go at least another 3 yrs for a BA. I was under the impression that you needed a Bachelors to apply for a work visa on your own, but not ne...

What are the posibilities of finding a job that will sponsor you for a visa? I don't have a bachelor's degree, and probably never will, but I'd like to spend at least a year in Japan. Is it even a possibility? I've been studying Japanese for 2yrs, but I'd like to get at least a level 2 JLPT cert bef...

I just got back from Japan yesterday. 'Nana' was showing in the theater across from my hotel, but I didn't have the chance to go see it! :( I don't know anything about the manga (other than someone told me it's for girls), but I've been a fan of Nakashima Mika for awhile. I picked up a bunch of her ...

Languages that you know tend not to sound as good. Japanese sounded a lot cooler to me before I understood most of it. Now, Chinese sounds really good to me, but I dunno if that'll be the same after I understand it. I know Japanese, but I still like the way it sounds. Mostly when women speak it, th...

I've got this Japanese workbook where the explanations are in Japanese, English and Chinese... I only notice a few similarites between Japanese and Chinese... Then there's the whole pronunciation thing. I'm sure you could do it, but I kinda doubt knowing Japanese first would make it all that easy...

Been studying Japanese for about a year now. I get maybe 50% of the conversations when I watch un-subbed JDoramas. It's too easy to get distracted, zone out and just stare at the pretty ladies, though. But if I put the effort into it, I can understand a lot. I can read Japanese way better than compr...
