Hello! I am a Swedish high school student and I am going to start my 4th and final year of high school this August. This fourth year is an optional addition to my base education since it only prepares you for further study. This fourth year will allow me to start working when I'm done. I don't have some fancy reason for learning a language really, I simply find it to be a fun and interesting pastime. I enjoy soaking up large quantities of information, so learning languages suits me in that regard as there isn't really an end to stuff to learn. What I'm looking for here on italki is an opportunity to practice actually speaking Japanese, as where I live the chances of such an opportunity arising is next to zero. よろしくお願いします
