Hi there,

I'm planning on taking the JLPT N2 exam in this summer, so I think I'm somewhere between N3 and N2 right now.

I'd prefer practicing with written messages, because I'm just too shy to let anyone hear my voice. Sorry for that.

I would be okay with both renshuu and discord. I don't really use any other forums, but if you have any better ideas just tell me about it.

I absolutely adore literature (especially Japanese and American) and I also love anime and manga. I like Haikyuu, Jujutsu Kaisen and Bungou Stray Dogs the best. I'm interested in psychology as well. I think I'm just very fond of the 'dark secrets' of the human mind. I really want to understand and be aware of them.

よろしくお願いします。

Hello everyone!

I think I am at about N3 level right now. I'd like to work on both writing and speaking, but I think writing might be easier to get started with. My interests are art, video games, movies and such geeky stuff. Feel free to shoot me a message! :)

Hi everyone!

First of all - I love this idea!

I've been studying Japanese for more than 10 years now. Took a few lessons at the university and then continued on my own. Sounds a lot but I still consider myself to be between a beginner and intermediate, N4-N3 maybe. I think I lack the motivation and lately studying Japanese has become like a chore for me... But the conversations (written, I'm too shy and self-conscious for verbal) would be perfect!

I love Japanese culture and cuisine (duh), books, I love my job (a nurse/paramedic), Doctor Who, Cirque du Soleil, movies, videogames ... etc etc, we will surely find something to talk about :)

Anyone feel free to message me here on renshuu!

Hi everyone!

I am very interested on this idea!

A few information about me:

Japanese Level: Planning to take the JLPT Level N3 (passed the N5 and N4 a few years ago) , but below is the breakdown of my self-rating for my Japanese

• Kanji Reading: ~N3/N2
• Vocabulary - N3/N4
• Grammar - N4/N5
• Listening/Speaking - N4/N5

I want to practice holding a conversation in Japanese

Preferred communication: Discord (I think we could make use of the voice channel for scheduled conversations where there is a channel for each type, example one channel is for a specific "topic of the day" where the conversion will mainly evolve on that topic, then another channel for "free form discussions", etc)

I could help with the setup and creating an evolving process on how the discord server would work.

I have experience in creating simple discord servers in the past, but it was only for small number of people (less than 30, and most of them at not very active) so I'm not really confident on managing a large one, but I am confident we can create a process (or basic rules on how the server will be used) as we move forward

こんにちは！みちこです~　🐥

お元気ですか。

I studied Japanese for 4 years at a language school and graduated basic level, took the JLPT and got the N4 level certificate 2 years ago. But since then, my studies slowed down and only now I'm starting to pick them back up. So my Japanese language skills are a little bit rusty >.<

I would prefer typing over verbal chatting since I'm really shy. Also, via Renshuu, because I don't have discord nor twitter.

I enjoy memes, watching YouTube and Netflix, listening to music (The Beatles, I really, really love them, but I listen to some J-pop songs as well), watching japaneseドラマ and アニメ (I'm more into shoujo genre, but I did watch some seinen such as Fullmetal and currently watching 鬼滅の刃 with my sister). I'm not a gamer, but I play LLSIF on my phone (anyone?!). Although rarely, I do read some マンガ. My favorite dish is ラーメン！(☆▽☆) But カレー comes in close second (๑♡ᴗ♡๑)

I recently decided to go to college and plan on applying for Visual Arts.

My dream destinations are Japan and England, but I would love to get to know the whole world.

Sorry for the long introduction 🎉

どうぞよろしくおねがいしまーす！☆

Hi!

I would love to participate in this :)

Japanese Level: passed N3 two years ago, planned to take N2 in 2020 but it got cancelled. My active Japanese (writing, speaking) is rubbish though, looking to improve this.

How you want to practice: writing to start with. My time is unfortunately limited and I would prefer to focus on one thing.

Preferred communication: Discord would be great. Inside of renshuu also works!

Personal Interests: languages, board games, video games, sci-fi/fantasy literature, travel.

My work schedule is very irregular and it could be difficult for me to commit to a regular schedule for this, but I would love to pop in on the Discord server when possible.

Thanks for the initiative!

Hi! This sounds interesting, as a fellow learner can contribute to the growth of both^^

As for me, I have literally zero knowledge apart from writing some gibberish nonsense that only a *ahem* special person like me can mess up with, since I just started learning a few days ago. To give you an idea of my level, my Japanese knowledge is the equivalent of saying "I see pretty, want thing over there".

It would be great to find somebody to talk with who could guide me through grammar basics, pronunciation (which really isn't a problem for me due to my lack of an accent either in Spanish or English) and basic conversation, etc, etc. As for how I focus on learning and how I progress, I rely heavily on context clues, such as if a sentence has a few words that I know I can infer the general meaning and I also learn quickly. I study hard and do not like falling behind, so if somebody has a kind heart and decides to help me, I will not laze around (it doesn't change the fact that I am mostly brick-headed and stubborn as a mule). As for what I like, I love drawing, I love messing around with computers (emulating consoles that are mostly Nintendo although I'm planning to see what the Playstation emulation is like , setting up vms with services to block ads, minecraft servers, firewalls, etc) and I love this one manga called Owari no Serafu (Seraph of the End) so much I know the entire thing by memory (I can go as far as to recite the entire freaking thing). I also like vocaloid, baking, reading insane amounts of books and cooking a lot.

As for preferred method of communication, I (as of now) can only use the renshuu forums, unfortunately. Also, I do understand that helping me would be a chore (I am a chore, my existence is a chore) so I am fully willing to, if my hypothetical helper/savior is interested, help with providing my knowledge of Spanish as a native language, be it for translating something or all out teaching the language, anything that you need (although there is like a 60% possibility that I suck at teaching, as I have ⚝stellar⚝ social skills, I wouldn't know because I haven't tried. Not that I'm rude hehe I'm just I don't know... Dislikable to most people :/ ).

Forgive me for the long and tiresome dissertation but this is important to me, and I will be ever so grateful to whoever helps me/ I help back.

Than you and good day.

~~~||はな より だんご||~~~

But not boys, the candy.

Just to be clear.

Forgive the lack of Kanji, I seem to be channeling Yu-chan with my lack of knowledge. Not the idiot bit, just the ignorant part.

Hello everyone!

I think this is a great idea and would love to have someone to talk Japanese with! I am still a little rusty at Japanese but I will try my best, I am willing to talk to anyone of any JLPT level :)

• Japanese level and years studied: N5 and I've only started a few months ago lol

• How I want to study: Any is fine but I prefer writing at the moment!

• Communication: Through renshuu please! but you can suggest other ways

• Personal interests: Anime, Vocaloid, Drawing, Musicals, Reading, and Cosplay

ありがとうございます :D

Hi guys! ^^

Japanese level: Upper-beginner, I'm not following textbooks/JLPT, instead learning about topics that interest me and immersing myself through Animal Crossing and such, so I wouldn't pass an exam or be able to ask for directions. I still call myself N4-ish.

While I don't mind what style you talk to me in, I learned casual Japanese because of the path I took and my philosophy with language, so I'll be speaking informally.

How I want to practice: I already get texting practice with my friends (cheating because I overuse a dictionary all the time) but I want to start practicing speaking as well, I wouldn't mind texting though

Communication: Either renshuu or LINE, I won't be very active right now because I'm about to take finals.

Interests: Languages, furry fandom(ask me about it), electronic music, sci-fi, Animal Crossing (New Horizons), anime (PaRappa, Lucky Star, Nichijou, K-On!), sports (soccer, basketball, football), cross-country running

My English isn't perfect since I'm a non-native speaker, but I'm better at it than my native language. I stopped worrying about it a while ago because I just want to worry about getting my message across, so my grammar/expressions might seem funny to you.

También hablo español pero no soy perfecto, ya que cuando me mudé a los EE.UU. me hice dominante en el inglés. Me encantaría practicar mi español más, y ayudar a otros aprendiéndolo.

よろしくね！
