Introduction ： 紹介
Bugging CB was fun and all, but meeting a few people that spoke some Japanese really got me thinking. We should have our own thread! Whether you're fluent, learning, or just thinking about learning either Japanese or English, this is the place for you! The purpose of this thread is to create a space where people can practice/learn from one another, hopefully in another language!
私はCBをいらいらさせるのが楽しいけど、日本語が話せる人を会ったんだから、思い始めた。 われわれのスレッドがあるはず！流暢でも、学んでいるでも、知りたいでも、ここはあなたの所だよ！このスレッドの目的はいっしょに練習して、学ぼう！

Semi-Back, amazed at the progress of the thread without me, planning on returning to posting with you all. At very least I'll continue to janitor the thread a bit, if anyone is causing a ruckus, i can "ignore" them and then they won't be able to post in my threads. At least i think that's how it works. Added new links!
