Well, she's Mariko. One of the first people I met when I came to America for college. A computer wizard, but she doesn't fall into the 'better with machines than people' thing. She's the most social person I know.
seems like it! maybe, i dunno. sometimes stumble across a few kanji i don't get, so maybe not that fluent
[ somehow, sharing with officer togusa that he has a few arrests and a narrow acquittal on his record doesn't seem like the most solid of endeavors, so he'll go for a partial truth— ]
money this place is pretty accommodating in that respect
If you ever need somebody to practice with, Koutarou and I are both fluent, a couple of other people on the Network. We've got a surprising density of Japanese transplants.
I hear you on that one. I wouldn't be making nearly this much on the Metropolitan force back home.
Just school. Jump the whole 'Japanese college entrance exams' thing by coming to America instead. I'd also gotten more interested in the American criminal justice system, my English was always good. It just made sense.

My second-best friend, on the other hand!
Let's put it this way. Don't introduce any girlfriends to Mariko until you are really really sure about the relationship.

[ the question's mostly to doublecheck on his language skills being completely awful or not... ]
no subject
Date: 2017-09-19 01:31 am (UTC)Yes, I can! I run into some people who came here too young, and they don't know a word of the language, so it's always nice to talk to people!
So where is 'home' for you, then?
[Okay, not exactly the question he asked earlier, but this answer might be more interesting.]
