About You : Hello everyone, you can call me Val ! I'm a 23 years old french software developer. I'm going to Tokyo, Japan for 6 months next year, so i'm trying my best to learn as fast as i can.
Japanese Level: Beginner Japanese Focus: hopefully visit one day and not feel completely lost and be able to somewhat understand the things going on around me, also I want to be able to read both manga and books in Japanese and watch anime without subtitles to flex on my friends :D Study Time(s) - Usually study my words at work and on my lunch break then 2 or so hours at home going through JFZ1 and RTK1 About You: Currently getting back into watching ALOT of anime and reading manga! Hoping to build up my collection! I also LOVE seeing art, so if you've drawn anything at all, I WANT TO SEE IT :D

Japanese lvl: JLPT 4 + but I got rusty Japanese Focus: Overall mastery (kanji included) Study Time: I'm UTC+2 but I don't mind not being in the same TZ About me: So I'm a 24-y.o. French college student (English-Japanese dpt.) I'm a geeky homey person, and as such have homey "hobbies" like reading, guitar, video games, series, role-playing (recently got into D&D and other stuff.) I'm having trouble getting better at Japanese on my lonesome so I'm looking for...
...my ideal partner: Someone of age, easy-going, at least a rough JLPT 5. It would be amazing if we could be friends, I'll be honest, but if you want to keep it on the more study-focused side, I'm all for it.
japanese lvl: beginner!! know hirigana and easy phrases.
focus: be able to talk with family, because i am moving to okinawa in a few months
study time: 2 hours a day, 4 at most
about me: 15 year old! half okinawan, half mex. im trying to learn taiko, and i enjoy music and some games. i also like reading slice of life manga and cooking, and drawing.
so..message me if interested? ig?? :)) preferably someone around my age.
Japanese Level: I know all hiragana and katakana, plus a small handful of kanji. Also very little grammar. Japanese Focus: I’d like to focus on JLPT 5 and work my way up from there. (I plan on being a translator, I’m already learning two languages
) Study Time(s): I am a student, so anytime in the late afternoon should be fine. My timezone is EST. About You: Just another person learning Japanese. My age range is 10-15 and I prefer a study partner in that age range as well. I like Japanese music, Sanrio and Vocaloid, as well as the culture. I hope we can study together, make progress, and have fun!
Japanese Level: I'd say I'm a beginner (I know ~150 words, and a few kanji here and there)
Japanese Focus: GRAMMAR!! I do not understand Japanese grammar at ALL, so if someone would be willing to help with that, I'd be extremely grateful
Study Time(s): During the day (timezone CST)
About You: I'm just a random person learning Japanese ✩ 14 ✩ I like slice-of-life (and comedy) anime and love Rhythm Heaven ✩ Message if interested in studying together !! (preferably someone in my age group)
First, can you tell me what does 'Study buddies' mean? I mean, if we became friend, and then what are we willing to do next? But, I want to participate as well.
I passed N3 but I think it because of luck.
I'm 26 this year.
I'm concentrating on all of the aspects of language
And of course I'm learning N3 & N2 as well. Actually I want to go to Japan, but...
Japanese Level: N5 (haven't took the JLPT test yet but I am doing revision on it)
Japanese Focus: Conversation and grammar
Study Time: 1-2 hours a day but not at a fixed time
About me: I am 20 years old and I am aiming to study in a Japanese language school within this year and early next year. I don't really listen to Japanese music or watch anime but if you have recommendations I will be happy to check them out and be able to immerse more in the culture :). I hope I can find someone at a slightly higher level than me so I can get corrections if needed. I enjoy watching K'-Drama's and C-Drama's so we can chat in Japanese about them if you like. : )
I hope that I can use this opportunity to practice my Japanese Speaking and listening skills too if possible.
My goodness gracious, I'm surprised that everyone was so quick to getting a study buddy (very catchy)! I personally feel like everyone is here is a study buddy to me, but AAAAAAA-
I may join in on this, give me a little time before I make a definitive decision.
