It has been an obsession of mine since the age of 13 to learn the Japanese language. I've picked up bits and pieces here and there through exposure to it, but for the most part, I'm still pretty stupid when it comes down to it. I suppose you're wondering where this is going, right? We'll get there.

I actually have a few books about the basics of linguistics, as well as two different 'teach yourself' workbooks. I'm seriously considering delving into these and learning more of the language.

What I want to know is if any of the (partial or fully) Japanese speaking people on my list, here, would be willing to help me out if I get stuck on any problems or correct me if I say something in my journal that is a mistake?

Which leads to a warning to the non-japanese speaking: I may be practicing in my journal sometimes, just so you know.

Chapters has a lovely section on foreign languages. At least, the stores here in Ottawa, do.

I have been to the chapters in Ottowa. I mainly go to Kanata

I usually go to either the one on Pinecrest or Bank St. I got all my Japanese books from the Pinecrest one, though.

That could be cool. I'm in Nepean, so it's not too far.
