Why I'm Studying Japanese:

I chose to study Japanese because as a kid, my dad tried to teach it to me and my sister, an effort that we both never truly appreciated. We both only remember the most basic of phrases and random words. I've always enjoyed learning languages, but have really only had the opportunity to learn more traditionally taught Western/Romance languages in school (ex. Latin, French, Spanish), so I definitely wanted to study an Asian language in college. My sister and I both wanted to get Japanese back, so we both decided to start with a first-year Japanese class this year at our own colleges.

  1. Hello! Im Sota Miura from International Business course in Ritsumeikan University and I am 18 years old, live in Kyoto right now. I want to chat with you guys to learn English and also teach Japanese!
    I like to play volleyball and watch baseball game and other sports, so let’s talk about it with me. Moreover, I speak Spanish, so I really like to listen music in Spanish.
