Translation:

Hello. My name is Ashley. Pleased to meet you.　Next year I plan on going to Japan for approximately 10 months. I'm very much looking forward to it. Recently, I finished school (on the Gold Coast). Yay!
I studied Japanese at school for nine years. I enjoy studying Japanese...(wow that makes me sound like a nerd)

My hobbies are reading manga, watching anime、cosplaying and singing. Please treat me well in the future. (It sounds lame in english, I know.)


Well, uh...sorry about that...the small Japanese person inside me just took over. I SWEAR! ^_^;

I figured that considering everyone knows some Japanese it would be a good place to practice my introduction. I'm both nervous and excited about going to Japan and I can't wait to get to know everyone better.

I've been a little lax but hopefully I'll start frequenting these forums much more often from now on. ^_^

A couple of quick corrections, but apart from that it's a pretty solid introduction.

あなたを会うのを楽しみにしています！

^_^; ごめん。。。

Guess I should have read it through after I posted instead of editing just to change the colour because it was prettier. Don't you just love superficial things? ^_^

Edit: Forgot to change the colour again...

Translation? (aka what I was attempting to say, as well as a few other things...-_-'' lol)

Ashley, congratulations on your graduation~! : ) Wowww~~....why is everyone graduating...;_; I'm still stuck in school....wahhhhhh xp
No, it doesn't make you sound like a nerd at all because I think all the exchange students going to Japan love studying Japanese...I guess?? xp
Well they should because it's fun~ xp lol

What manga do you like? I have a lot of manga that I like. Especially "S.A.", "Kaichou wa Maido-sama!" and "Perfect Girl Evolution". Please recommend me some good anime ne~?? Do you watch dramas? You're a cosplayer~?? Woww~!! I've want to try too~! xp lol It looks really fun! Do you have any photos?? (btw you make a really cute Haruhi~~ ^^...that is Haruhi from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya...right? xp)
I looveeeeeeeeee photossss~~!! Ah, by the way, I say this a lot so please bear with it, sorry!! Oh don't get me wrong though, I don't really like photos of myself...more taking photos and looking at someone else's photoss~ xp lol Uwaahhh~ You're so talentedd~~! xp I can't sing at all!! *shudders at the thought haha

Yes, it would be good to practice our Japanese here. This could be a good thing, I guess...
I'll do it too~~(the self-introduction that is) (I'm kind of really paranoid about using Japanese though so I don't use it much so don't laugh...xp)

My name is Mandy and on the 31st of August this year I became 15. I like things like languages, art, sport, animals, etc.. I've been learning Japanese for around 1 and a half years. Last year my teacher, Ms Homma, taught me Japanese for about half a year but this year I've been studying Japanese by myself. I want to become good at Japanese and learn more about Japan. I'm looking forward to going to Japan.
(and the phrase that sounds weird when translated haha.. I refuse to translate)

Oi! Tom and Anna should do a self-intro too!!! Stop being lazyyyy! haha

xx

ps Oooh~ How do you change the colorr??...Or is it just html..cos I'm too lazy for that...xp lol

pps nice to meet you Ashley~ can I have your emaill~~?? lol

ppps...sorry if there are many mistakes..i had to use the on-screen keyboard so this took my like...forever! so now I refuse to check it again...i already checked it while i was writing...well hopefully i did...I have very bad memory so that could just be me wanting to believe that I checked it...it's happened before..-_-''

Why would you say something so incredibly false about me!?

I probably should write and remember an intro. I'll get onto that maybe next march.
COLOURS!

みなさん、こんにちは。私の名前はパーカ・アナです。十四才です。クイーンズランド州のメリバラに住んでいます。一番好きなかもくは日本語です。たのしいです。

Hello everyone. Well I won't bother translating that because I know all of you have a very broad vocabulary when it comes to Japanese, unlike myself on the other hand . =P

Just in case you didn't get the top message though, my name's Anna, I'm 14 years old and I live in QLD ! Yay.
Haha. I too am going on the 10 month exchange in March, to do grade 10 in Japan. Can't wait!

I believe we only have 92 days until departure! YAY

Well I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas day tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to meeting you all in the new year!
