The Reason for Japanese

My native language is English as you can tell from the not-so-fluent use of Japanese hiragana. As for a personal introduction there truly isn't much to say, I am a college student much like any other with only individualistic differences peppered throughout my character. For example, I have been called "zen" so many times it's becoming a tad redundant but that is only because I have a philosophy of life that is built upon a type of peace. This is probably what attracted me to Japanese. Japan and its culture is rich and full of polite peace that mirrors some of my life views: respect for nature, beauty inside and out and other such minuscule precepts. It was the small things that brought me to study this language. Albeit at times I do tire of the constant repetition and I find my mind wandering between here and various dreamscapes but I truly enjoy learning this language. The grammar is (apparently) easier than English but I would not know for I have grown with English and know it so naturally that if someone were to ask me what a predicate was I would have trouble explaining...I possibly might not even know what it was. Besides the logistical advantage of Japanese there is also a quiet finesse when writing its characters. A swish here, a small flick there. Beautiful inside and out. Hopefully I will be able to speak Japanese fluently and have enough people to speak it with. Yet if time brings it out of my life then that will be fine as well because I would have had a wonderful experience learning something totally new...even if I do forget!
