Hello fellow forum members, I just registered in edufire.com, I believe it’s a great site for anyone looking to have that extra boost of language for free, or go pro with an accesible fee (wow I just read that again and it rhymes).

I am Leonel (Leo if you please), I am from Montevideo Uruguay, South America, as most south american countries my native language is Spanish, I’ve been keen on English since I was VERY young (my first english class was when I was 2 years old o_O), today I can “type” english “fluently” yet I can’t get my voice to be so fluent, so you may find me in the English Skype Group.

I got here from Tofugu.com, koichi’s great videolog got me into it since I watched his Segata Sanshiro( Epic Japanese-Retro-Video Game-Figure) special video.

As you can tell (or not!), I’m into languages, videogames, and possibly anime, so I shall answer you, yes I am into anime and all the above.

Anime made me look into Japanese culture, such as music from the Soundtracks, and the language which I started learning by my own today online (thanks genkijapan.net and your awesome Hiragana Charts), then inscribed in a local Japanese-language teaching institution.

I believe that covers everything in my introduction, I hope to be an active member of this community, forums and classes, I tought of teaching Spanish, but after I chose that I’m here for “learning only” it seems that can’t be changed/helped but making another account, so, I won’t teach spanish for now.

See you around.

Fabulous introduction Leonel and great to see that you are already registered for the orientation class! Well you have probably discovered by now that we have many classes here so I am sure you will enjoy being part of the eduFire community. And when you are ready, please do sign up for a teaching account also :) Talk more soon!

Hola Leonel! Welcome to eduFire. I see that you came here through Koichi’s videos! They are great aren’t they! How long have you been studying Japanese?

Leo so great that you joined us. Welcome to eduFire and if you need anything just ask anytime. :)

Hi Leo,

Glad to see you here. I hope you make a lot of friends and have an opportunity to get better in your conversational English. Welcome!

Hi Leonel, welcome to this great community! I think you’ll really enjoy meeting all the great people!

hi lionel, welcome to edufire

Welcome to Edufire, hope you will enjoy it

Hey Leo! Wow, your written English is really great. I think a fluent sounding pronunciation just takes time and practice (I know that my own Japanese & Spanish accents could really use some work :P), but you’re definitely on the right track :) Good luck, and I’ll see you around!

Yo Leo! :) Your intro is great!

You should definitely take some Japanese classes here. Lots of great stuff available. ;)

Possibly into anime?? Comon now, it’s in or out. :P What anime do you like??

^
Cowboy Bebop by far one of the best ones out there!
Then Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu.

Hey Leo ! Nice to meet you! You’ll love EduFire, hopefully I’ll see you in some of my Japanese classes. =)
