Age: 25
Place of birth: Denmark

Spoken languages: Danish, English
Written Languages: ^
Languages in the process of learning: Japanese. I can just about get by with my German, French and Spanish being completely broken, but I'd like to one day be able to carry on a conversation in Japanese without having to Katakanify every other sentence.
Hobbies: Video games, music, concerts, martial arts (karate, judo, hopefully BJJ in the near future. Also watch a ton of MMA), TV series, language learnin'
Occupation: Student
Education: High school; hoping to get accepted into University
Favorite Movies: Oldboy (+ just about every other Chan Wook Park flick), Blade Runner, Memento, etc. Japanese: Kurosawa flicks, Audition, Battle Royale, Totoro
Favorite Bands: Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Arcturus, Ayreon, Manticora, Moonsorrow, etc. Japanese: Dir En Grey, Hiromi Uehara, Sigh, X-Japan, Super Butter Dog, etc.
Favorite Video Games: Final Fantasy VII-IX, Suikoden 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Metal Gear Solid 1-3, Tekken, etc.
Ultimate Goal: To become a world champion pro wrassler, of course! On a slightly lower scale: To become a black belt, to become fluent in Japanese, and to make those closest to me proud.

My name is Julian, I'm 19 years old and enlisting in the United States military, particular branch the U.S. Air Force. My interests are hiking, running, gym work, studying foreign culture (Japan especially) and sightseeing to name a few! I would really like to learn Japanese better since I may end up going overseas while I'm serving and I will eventually travel to Japan one day and it would really help if I could read and speak Japanese. If there are any natives of Japan or anyone that lives in Japan right now on the forum that can help me answer some questions I have I'd really appreciate it. I've been trying to study Japanese lately but it's proving difficult.

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. I am pleased to meet you.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask us.
