Self Introduction

Konichiwa everyone. My name is Cameron Breisch and I am super excited about being in beginner Japanese. I guess technically I am not yet in Japanese, but I really really hope that I will be able to switch in. I am interested in studying Japanese because I have spent my whole life around the Japanese culture. My mom works in the Japanese Business Studies department here at our very own ND, so I have spent my whole life immersed in the Japanese culture. I have done homestays with Japanese businessmen and have even sat in on a few Japanese classes. Because of my interest in the Japanese culture I spent a two week period in Japan in 2007, which only served to increase my interest! I would like to become fluent(ish) in Japanese and then study abroad in Tokyo. The Japanese culture is one of my favorite cultures and I believe the people are some of the most authentic, amazing people in the world. I am excited to learn everything I can about their culture. I also find anime interesting and think it would be cool to listen to some anime shows in Japanese and ACTUALLY understand them :D
