Welcome!

I have had many teenagers try to talk me into teaching Japanese at the local high school. Since I currently have a job that I enjoy and I do not have time to obtain a teaching certificate I think I will hold off on teaching for now. Maybe in the future. I have observed the growing interest in Japan by kids recently because of Anime, Manga, and video games. Since I am not able to teach Japanese to kids I wanted to find a way to share my knowledge to students of all ages to help fuel their interest in Japan. Therefore I want to share what I know of the Japanese language, culture, food, and more. I want to share current events and news from Japan such as politics, automobiles, and consumer electronics as well as entertainment such as Movies, Anime, and Manga. So pretty much anything to do with Japan will be discussed in this blog with Grammar, vocabulary, and writing sprinkled in between.Comments are always welcome on anything that is being discussed. I hope you have fun learning more about the Japanese Language and culture through this blog.

A little about my experience with Japan:

• Served a 2 year Mission in Japan for the LDS church.
• Completed a Minor degree in Japanese at BYU.
• Taught Japanese language and culture for three years at the LDS Missionary training Center.
