It's a good thing that you'll be moving to Japan. Language learning is WAY easier if you actually have the need to use it. :)

while this is very true, it should be pointed out that if you create a need in your community to speak it you will find it useful, me and my friends use Japanese back home for fun to speak to one another at school for example. Also I am not moving to Japan haha where did you hear that? Or was it a typo :x

That is one big confusion on my part. :P Sorry. What you said also makes perfect sense. I have no problems with English because we use it as a secondary language in the Philippines. When I moved to the U.S. most thought that I am a native English speaker. I do have to study the accents though. That is something that they don't teach in schools.

No worries!~
Accent to me, is not such a big deal I mean obviously if someone can not understand you then its an issue in that situation but other than that I see no problems, however this is not a general conception as I am sure you know ahah
which English accent do you like the most? Just out of curiosity haah

I spent much of my time in New York since we have families and relatives there. I also studied the New York accent due to necessity. I want people here to understand me more. Hahaha. Typical new immigrant mentality I guess? How about you?

Hi there! Fingers crossed for learning Chinese, I'm learning too. First step, Mandarin. I hope later I'll have possibility to learn dialects like Canto or Hokkien.
