I work as a dentist and a teacher in the east part of Thailand. I have been passionate about learning English since primary school and it was what I do best throughout my school life. After I went to university, I took many introductory courses of so many languages such as Chinese, Spanish and French. I even tried Swedish self-study once but never succeeded due to lack of motivation and genuine interests in the languages and cultures. This time I try to find a language that fits my interests and has enough resources for me to do some self-study. I'm lucky to have found two tutors that made my Japanese studies a lot more fun and easier as a beginner. Also, I got a few Japanese language partners on italki whom I can ask any questions about Japanese and exchange Thai and English to. So, with interests in わしょく- Japanese food and real desire to travel around Japan, could I succeed in Japanese language studies.
