Want to be my host family?

Update: I have now found my host families. ファミリを見つけました。

日本語で (English version here)

私は今年余暇で2級の日本語能力試験に勉強しています。4月1日から23日まで3週間で東京で日本語の学校に行きます。勉強したら、本物の日本の生活を経験したいので日本のホストファミリーを探しています。

ですから、東京と東京の近くに住む家族に頼みがあります。空いた部屋でもがあれば、外国人を手伝って、1週間か2週間で私を家で泊まらせてください。そして、ブログのお客さんはもしかしてこのことに興味がありそうな家族を知っていると私のブログのリンクを教えてださい。

私について26歳のデンマークの男の人です。電子工学の修士号を持っていて、デンマークでソフトウエア開発で働いています。非喫煙者でまじめな人です。趣味は料理と日本語(もちろん)とウエートリフティングです。

ホームステイの平日に私が学校に行きますが、家族の役になりたくて、一緒に自由の時間をすごします。デンマークの文化とか生活を教えてあげて、家族たちが私に日本の生活を教えてくれていいです。子供が好きで私の国のことを教えてあげたいです。そして英語の手伝うこともいいです。会話楽しみましょう。

言語旅行なので、ホストファミリーと日本語いっぱい喋りたいんです。ですから、もし英語がぜんぜんできなくてもいいですよ。私なら、いい勉強ですけど、日本語を書くことがとても遅いので、このブログは英語で(*_*); すみませんね。

私のホストファミリになりませんか。興味か質問があればメールかコメントかSkypeで連絡してくださいね。私のコンタクトインフォがこちらです。

In English: (日本語はこちらです)

Right now I am studying in my spare time for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test level 2. From 1 April 2006 to 23 April 2006 I'll be in Tokyo to attend language school for three weeks. During that time I would love to experience how a normal Japanese family lives so I'm looking for Japanese families I could stay with while I go to school.

So if you live in (or close to) Tokyo and would like to help out a foreigner by letting me stay for a week or two, then please let me know :-) Or maybe you know somebody who could be interested, then please give them a link to my blog.

A little bit about myself. I am a 26 years old male from Denmark. I have a master in electronic engineering and work as a software developer in Denmark. I am a peaceful non-smoker who loves cooking, Japanese (of course) and weightlifting.

During the weekdays of the home stay, I will be at school but I would like to live as an integrated part of my host families and hope that we can spend time together where I would love to tell you all about Denmark and my life here and in return you could show me how a normal Japanese family lives. I like children and would love to teach them all about my country or perhaps help out with English.

Since this is a language trip I hope to be able to speak as much Japanese as possible with my host families. So it is no problem if you don't speak English, but I am a slow writer of Japanese so even though it is good practice I'll keep my blog in English.

If you would like to be my host family or just have some questions then please send me an email, post a comment or call or write me with Skype. Click here for contact information.

Guest book

Hi everybody
This post is now my guest book. Please leave a comment if you want to say hi :-)

皆さん、
本日からこの投稿がゲストブックにします。挨拶すればコメントを置いてくださいね(^_^)

Hej alle sammen
Den her post er hermed min nye gæstebog. Smid en kommentar hvis du vil sige hej :-)

Home stays

I found two organizations that arrange homestays:
Japanese Association of the Experiment in International Living (EIL-JAPAN)
Pan Pacific Foundation (PPF)
I wrote them both but EIL-Japan does'nt allow me to study during the home stay and the PPF can't guarantee that I will be staying in Tokyo all the time - and that is where I want to go to school. If anybody knows of some other organizations that arrange home stays in Tokyo or nearby please let me know. I think I also will try to find private people that might be interested in having a foreigner living with them for a week or two.

Trip to Japan

The last year or so, I have been wanting to go to Japan and what better way to do it than making a language trip out of it. So I have decided to jump on a plane in the beginning of April and stay there for 4 weeks. Today I talked with my boss about it and he said that it was okay that I took the time off - SCORE! So I guess I'll be going to Japan :-) It is probably going to be expensive so I am going to apply for some grants to see if I can't cover the trip and language school. I also think I will try to find one or more host families I can live with while I attend school. What better way to practice some Japanese than with a family?? I can't wait to tell all the people I know in Japan about it :-) Maybe they know somebody I can stay with.

Whats this??

Hi everybody and welcome to my new blog.

At December 3rd 2006 I will take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2 at the Copenhagen Business School. Until then this blog will keep track of my progress and if anybody is interested they can see how good(or bad) it is going.
