Well thats about it =)


I really am starting from scratch an dthats why i tihkn its so important i make a blog about this so people in the same boat can think, well hes at this stage so i must be doing pretty good =D

theres a lot of posts about guys like "well ive been studying kanji for 5 months and im on 1400 words" or something along those lines but nothing from people just starting.


So what do i want to do. First iwant to get a basic grasp of japanese to communicate with japanese people. secondly im applying for the JET ALT program at hte end of september and although you dont need japanese for these programme i deffinetly want to learnas i would just feel liek a outcast, teaching in japan and not knowing japanese i mean, come on! how rude is that. It even annoys me when ihave to deal with customers from lets say poland or russia( we get alot in scotland atm) who when you ask a question look at you oddly and just say yes or no, they obviously dont know what im asking or making an attempt to learn it just winds me up to no end, so i deffinetly dont want people to think of me in that way too =)
