Thank you [livejournal.com profile] ladybirdsleeps and [livejournal.com profile] marikochan for your postcards!

I was rather pleased with myself for understanding nearly everything [livejournal.com profile] marikochan wrote in Japanese, too :)

私も日本へ行きたいですよ。でも単語が足りないと思います。

I'm glad you didn't have too much trouble with it! I wasn't sure how much Japanese you knew, but it seemed rather silly to send a postcard from Japan without any Japanese on it. ;)

スウェーデンからの同じ寮に住んでいる女性は挨拶しか分からないよ。英語が分かれば大丈夫だと思う... But of course it's always better to speak the language. Still, if you were in Tokyo or Kyoto or any large city, I think you'd get along better than most foreign tourists...

BTW: You have pretty decent Japanese handwriting, as far as I can tell.

Some Westerners that I've seen have rather clunky-looking Japanese. (Even my own first attempts are pretty embarrassing to me when I come across them.)

Haha! It should have occured to me to include a word or two of Russian. I forgot you studied it completely.

Glad you got it. :)

Thank you! =) I'm usually not very happy with my handwriting in Japanese, but I've been writing it long enough that maybe I've learned something...
