Growing up speaking both english and german, i started acquiring the japanese language while working as a software developer, publishing commercial apps in both english and japanese. I quickly achieved a high level of proficiency in japanese, spending over 4000 hours studying the language in just my first two years. I am particularly familiar with the fields of software engineering and design, but also have spent considerable time reading classical japanese literature, giving me a wide understanding of japanese culture both contemporary and traditional and a deep vocabulary shaped by some of the countries most prolific writers. |
