Hello, my name is Jodie and due to living in the Highlands of Scotland, I've never had the chance to study Japanese through schooling. I'm self-taught and have been using a variety of web services to try and brush up, but I'm getting nowhere. I thought by joining a community like this, I may be able to get going and maybe start from the beginning to brush up. I'm an art student on my HND which is proving to be stressful in itself, so I hoped I'd be able to use self-learning again as a means to loosen up and relieve stress.
I have an interest in gaming, anime, collectables, toys, films, comics, illustration, art, comedy, music and the environment (flowers, trees, mountains; I love the countryside).
I hope to move to Japan for a while to study and possibly gain a bachelor's degree in the near future so my stay would be permanent. I'm just so fed up of the EU and its corruption rubbing off onto the people. I know it will be a big step and a lot of hard work, reason why I'm willing to put so much time in my HND and learning the language. I've been quite a few times before, only problem being I was young and surrounded by other English speakers ^^;
Now, where to start...so much to do.
