Hello! My name is Ryan. I am an American from the mountain west, currently living in the east coast. I took up learning Japanese back in late 2010/early 2011 and have not looked back since.

I am at an intermediate level in my understanding of Japanese. I do far better with written Japanese than listening/speaking it, though, but I steadily am working on improving that aspect.

I have joined this site to help translate songs from Japanese -> English, and maybe, rarely, English -> Japanese. I have some confidence in my translations since I had to pass a test to be a translator for a forum, and part of it was getting your translation checked by a native Japanese speaker, who said he was impressed with my grasp of the language. (Yes, I am still very proud to have been told that!)

Well... all in all, I am glad to be here and hope to help as much as I can. :)
