はじめ まして なムですどうぞよろしく
Hello, my name is Jake Nam and I am a sophomore majoring in business. Since I was young, I grew up watching many of the popular Japanese Anime such as Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Rurouni Kenshin, and many others. Unfortunately most of them were dubbed and it was not until my later teens that I was actually introduced to the Japanese language. As I started watching Anime on the internet, I became more inclined to watch those with subtitles. After watching countless episodes I started to pick up key phrases here and there. Soon I developed a keen interest in Japanese and started to appreciate the certain flow the language seemed to exude when it was spoken. To my dismay, I quickly learned that watching Anime with the subtitles on did not serve as the greatest tool for picking up Japanese.
So now I find myself enrolled in Introduction to Japanese and actually wanting to take a class for once in my life.I am excited to acquire this new language and I hope someday to watch my favorite Anime shows without the aid of subtitles.
