Introduction: こにちは.  私はワスワニチ・ポール「Paul Wasuwanich」です。My last name is apparently painful to pronounce so if you can read katakana, try pronouncing it that way, it's the same minus the "i" in the "chi."

First off, I am Thai. I lived my childhood in Bangkok, Thailand and then moved to Orlando, FL before high school. At the moment I can speak only two languages enough to converse, Thai and English. I learned Latin and some Ancient Greek in high school, but only well enough to read with a dictionary.

Currently, I am studying Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame and for reasons relating to anime and manga, I am also studying intensive Japanese.

This blog will be a diary, a progress tracker, a writing practice, and a place to rant about the difficulties of learning Japanese.

    1. こんばんは、とくだ先生

      すみません、私はとくだ先生のかんじをしらない。

      しんげきのきょじんが好きです。Attack on Titan's kanji is too difficult so I am sticking with hiragana for now. I understood your Japanese except for the や. I had to look that one on a dictionary.

  2. Sounds great. It seems like you already know some of Japanese language. I was surprised at that you've learned many languages. Thai is another language I really want to learn in the future. If there was a Thai course, I would have registered for sure, because I loved the travel to Bangkok last summer.

  3. It's awesome that you can speak both Thai and English and that you're learning Japanese on top of it. It's also really impressive that you're a biochem major taking a language- I know science majors have lots of requirements (I am an engineering major, I know that feeling of drowning in classes) so good for you for making time to study Japanese! Hope to have a blast learning Japanese with you.

  4. Wow, I am very impressed by the fact that you are writing down the diary on this blog every single day. I cannot imagine myself working that much hard. You surely motivated me to push myself harder. Nice intro.
