> I  can now speak a great deal of Japanese and I can read and write at an

> desk, much like Morse code is to some I was continually
> trying to break the barrier of communications in Japanese.
> The only thing that makes the language hard for us outsiders (Gaijin)
> is the fact there are very few Americans in Walmart or McDonals
> (MaKuDoNaRuDo)  who speak Japanese in our country.
> So you really have to seek those out who can in the Japanese community

> Musen really is  in Nihongo ??
> 
> Well if you didn't already know I'm going to tell you now.
> Mu-Sen As in Yaesu Musen means
