Thank you for your trade, I haven't accepted it yet as I wanted to know if you would like something in exchange ?

By the way, you should perhaps check if your profile theme is set on "custom" as there is that light blue vetical line that usually appears on old-school profiles when you've forgotten to set it to "custom".
See you !

Thank you so much for helping me decide on a langauge.
I have wanted to learn a langauge for years, but the opportunity that my life has presented to me have never given me the chance for anything but self studies. I went to a small school, will less than 25 people in my high school, and I go to a small but very well rated tech school now for graphic design. My choice of job in the future is in the game industry, preferably virtual environment design and texture art. And while that dream might sound pretty generic for an 18 year old boy, its been my dream for quite awhile. I hope to one day own my own company in the game industry.

My reasoning for wanting to learn another langauge is that I believe that the mind is a muscle and I haven't been working it well enough in the past few years. I have the potential to learn another langauge and to be fair to myself as a person I feel that I should learn one. I also think that another langauge will help me in the future because I want to not only see the world, I want to live around it. If I learn one langauge maybe I could learn two or three.

In the end I have decided that I want to learn Japanese. And while most anime and manga loving teens in the US dream of learning Japanese I kind of chose it for a different reason. I want to be a game developer one day. The two biggest countries for game development are by far Japan and the US. Because of this I feel that a Japanese will help me on a business front and if I become fluent enough maybe even allow me to live and work abroad.

And while these are the pros for learning Japanese I also see many cons. Unlike English it does not share the same phonetic alphabet, or even a similar one. Also there are few speakers in my area (if any) and its usefulness withing the coming five to ten years would be very small to non existent. But my interest in the culture and food, and my life goals, are all good reasons for me to stick with it even though its difficulties.

If this reply was to long for you I am sorry, I just wanted to show you my appreciation for answering my question so completely and helping me come to a decision on a langauge, and methods of learning it.

Thank you so much,
Clay
