RE: Maggie's Job - Off Topic

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for your good wishes! I studied Japanese in college for 4 years,

lived there for 3, and have been home in the States for almost 3. I am

still nowhere near fluent, but I can get by - even if sometimes in

round-about way. It is not as hard as it looks, but obviously takes time

for proficiency. I've been doing some translating for the new job, and it

has been taking me forever--I know I can't charge them for all of those

hours, so I really have to start studying again! If you get a chance to go

to Japan, do it! It is amazingly beautiful. I fell in love with the

culture, too, but not everyone does. Thanks again for the good wishes, and

I agree that less stress can't be a bad thing in ttc. Thanks again!

I hope the new job is going well> Thanks for your good

wishes!

Dh has been to Japan when he was younger but not

recently. I think it is ashame his mom didn't teach

him when he was young. It would of been alot easier I

am sure. (but I guess when she came here, she was busy

learning English and the American ways) His family

that is over there sends vidoes and it looks so nice.

We definitely will go but need to learn some Japanese.

Hope you are doing ok.
