I'm living my dream life, spending my days with my three sweet kids on the rocky coast of Maine...

girl2004 is a Care Bears enthusiast when she's not twirling to imaginary ballet, she's gleefully giggling to pink princess daydreams or requesting baking sessions.


girl2006 is an Elmo and Little People Fanatic, she insists on wearing tights and dresses everyday, as well as reading our 'I Love You' books everyday. She shares my love for Little House on the Prairie.


My personal goals are to go back to school for my Masters, possibly in Library Studies or Biblical Languages.

Speak Japanese Fast

August 28, 2007

As you may know, my husband and I lived in Japan for four years. During that time I was teaching English conversation most of the time, but I also took time to study Japanese on my own with several different books and study groups. I enjoyed writing hiragana and katakana characters and it gave me a great understanding of the language and pronunciation. What I needed was more Japanese vocabulary so I could carry on a conversation and not just answer with “hai” or gorilla/pointing language.

It was not easy even living in Japan itself, I was learning in what David McGimpsey calls, “the slowest way possible”. Reading in my head and saying the word over and over, writing it over and over… leading to no progress! I’m impatient, I don’t want to speak some time in the far future, I want to Speak Japanese Fast!

Now, it’s been 8 years since we’ve come back to the U.S. I am still very interested in Japan and Japanese language learning and found a great eBook that is conveniently downloadable from the internet and I’m convinced it is the key to unlocking Japanese Learning for life!

The system is simple to use and easy to pick up on, perfect for the casual traveler or serious student. Don’t waste any more time with things that don’t work! Learn 225 Japanese vocabulary words when you download Speak Japanese Fast.


David McGimpsey lives in Osaka, Japan and is the author of Speak Japanese Fast, The Japanese Project and Learn Japanese Right Now.
