Self Introduction
Hello, my name is Yuicho and I'm a Japanese from Nagasaki, which is located in the western area of Japan, Kyushu.
I was born and raised here, but I lived in Tokyo for a total of 18 years up until I moved back in December 2012.
Currently, I'm running some commercial websites created by myself and working at the small driving school as a part-time instructor.
I often enjoy reading articles, watching videos and movies on the internet, and taking leisurely drives with no destination.
Now, I have been studying English for approximately four years since April, 2014.
In addition to that, I'm trying to learn a few more languages though I focus on English studies so far.
Learning languages is fun, but it can be hard to get proper conversation skills for the fluency.
I understand why many language learners struggle with it, because I also had the same experience when I was beginner in English.
I sometimes learn how to help learners out with their Japanese from my friend, who is teaching Japanese as a second language to international students at the university.
As my career develops in the future, it would be very important for me to know more about my native language as well as my target languages.
If you have questions about the Japanese language, that cultures and customs, please don't hesitate to ask me them even in English.

Hi Yuicho!
I really enjoyed your writing. Minimal mistakes, easy to read, flows nicely. Have you really studied English for 4 years only? You look quite advanced.
Note 1: you need a noun before "a Japanese", because Japanese is an adjective, not a noun (this is a very common mistake). You can either say: "I'm a Japanese student from Nagasaki." or omit the article "a" altogether and separate the clauses: "I'm Japanese and I'm from Nagasaki".
Note 2: this is not necessarily wrong, but "I work part-time .... as a (driving) instructor" is more natural than "I work ... as a part-time instructor" just because, in English, we expect to hear what you teach before the word instructor, teacher, etc.
Note 3: Fluency is a skill. When you are learning a language, you become more and more fluent, that is, that you can speak/write/understand without effort. Accuracy is when you do it right, without mistakes. In a nutshell, fluency is when you speak fast, accuracy when you speak well.
You show a great command of the written language. You use sophisticated structures, which I marked in light blue and your mistakes are minimal and do not impede communication at all.
I teach advanced English lessons, and conversational Spanish, too, if you're interested, just have a look at my profile. You can take a no-risk, no-strings-attached trial lesson.
Take care and keep on learning!
