Getting Back Into It

Hi,

I'm Jil and yes, that's actually my real name Σ੧(❛□❛✿)
I majored in Chinese and Japanese Translation Studies at university and had the opportunity to live in China as well as Japan for a while.
During that time I was way too busy to obsess over dramas, so I didn't really watch any. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to use any of the two languages after graduating, so I basically am starting from scratch now. I have to admit that I graduated only a couple of years ago... I think it was 2011. I was a university student for a looooooooooooong time, mostly because I studied a bunch of subjects, got a degree in most of them, and lived abroad for a while. Life can be funny that way. 

I use dramas as a fun way to get back into the language (currently only watching J-dramas) as I'm going to spend a couple of months working from Japan next year.

I'm 37 and currently live in Germany.

Drama-wise I like anything dark and gloomy, but I'm open to the occasional comedy. I actually love variety shows... it's a guilty pleasure.

I hope to have a good time with everybody.

Cheers,

Jil

Hi Rainruma,
I wouldn't go so far and say I speak both. I can get by in both languages, but I'm not fluent anymore.
Thanks for the recommendations. I haven't seen any of the ones you've mentioned, but I'm defo gonna check them out, (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I took German in college for only a year, but I had no one to practice with and lost all that I had learned. my years on Spanish seemed to go to waste, too. if you can't keep it in use, it all goes. (⌣_⌣”) it sucks, but I hope you're enjoying some good Jdramas! I recommend checking out Boku no Yabai Tsuma and BORDER, if you haven't --- there's an awesome BORDER-related SP that came out earlier this month, too, and another is on the way~
