Looking for a conversation e-mail parter in Japanese....

[hanasims]

Is anyone interested in communicating via e-mail in Japanese Hiragana and katagana? I would like to improve my japanese. Thanks.

You might be better off finding native Japanese language partners instead of searching for FG's who speak Japanese. Perhaps someone here knows of a site that offers such introductions.

My advice, study on your own. Native speakers will just confuse you (and I'm dead serious)

My girlfriend is Japanese, so she can help and correct any mistakes.

Only if you ask "what does that mean". Native speakers are good for practicing your own patterns... except the bastards never correct mistakes.

This is true, but I still would still take a native speaker for practice over an FG, anytime. If you have questions about whether a particular phrase should be used over another phrase, a native can help. If you want to delve into the "why?" of a particular pattern or syntax in Japanese, perhaps an FG who is fluent can be more helpful.
