I have been studying Japanese on my own for almost a year and a half. I do not have a lot of conversation practice because there is no one for me to practice with. Therefore, I have to speak very slowly when I speak Japanese. My goal is to be able to speak fluently like a native Japanese. italki provides this opportunity, which is why I am going to make good use of it! We can meet new people, exchange culture, and HELP EACH OTHER! This is a great place to learn!
