Hello~ My name is Kelli (ケリー) I am from Oklahoma in the US. I like to sing for a choir as a scholarship student to earn enough to eat, which even when I work both my jobs, barely happens. I am learning Japanese because I was first introduced to the Japanese culture through my middle school library and it was fascinating. A friend of mine had "books" from there and it turned out to be manga, she also lent me her DVD's of anime and from there I heard lots of words and music and saw a brand new culture to the ones I had previously studied and worked with. My interest in Egyptology was quickly steered into the Japanese culture and lifestyle. From the music, to the books, to even the way they talk and think. I don't know what others think of it but my fascination has lasted years and recently I realized something very important. No matter what I chose to do, if it will make me unhappy but earn coin, I would just be in someones way who might actually WANT to be there. so why not go to where I would prefer instead of begrudgingly stay where I am. A long life with many open doors is always the better option. I am here to speak with those who speak Japanese and hopefully a little English. I can work with whoever wishes to speak with me to help each other grow in our knowledge of the language and possibly culture and more. If you wish to chat let me know~
