Hi! I live in San Francisco and work as cabin crew for a major airline. I am half Japanese and used to be fluent but not so much anymore. I am working to become fluent and literate. My immediate goal is to speak more fluidly and much more politely. I'm looking for a native Japanese conversation partner who is comfortable speaking polite Japanese. I am a native American English speaker so I can help with that if you want to do an exchange. My schedule is very erratic so I can't commit to set days and times but I am flexible and willing to make it work. I am in different time zones pretty much every day. I'm available on Skype, FaceTime, Line and a few more. Just let me know what you prefer.

Mona is doing fine. She needs some grammatical sorting out of words. Her knowledge helps going faster. In the next writing, please try using 「~たり、~たり する」

Mona speaks Japanese very well with no accent as her mother is a Japanese and Mona has stayed in Japan when she was small. She corrected her 'child language' herself. I admire and appreciate her sensitivity of the language. Her goal is to carry a normal conversation in Japanese. At the moment it takes too long for her to say what she wants to say, she told me. I believe that she will be able to speak much better soon after some practice.

    Have as much conversation as possible. Also, watch tv/movies in English with subtitles in your native language or English.
