Hello, my name is Clare! I am a university student currently studying politics and international relations, and Japanese. My main weakness in language learning is speaking and listening, which is very hard to practice by myself. I am hoping to meet native Japanese speakers over language exchange and talk with them to improve my Japanese. My native language is English and I would be happy to engage in conversation practice, but I'm not confident teaching it, especially the basics. As you may have gathered from my profile photo, I am an anime fan, and I also like manga. I designed the picture online; it actually looks just like me. I also enjoy playing games [and yes, the necklace is supposed to be the Triforce], but I rarely have time for my hobbies during semester. I enjoy witty comedy and intelligent discussions and would be delighted to talk with advanced English students, but unfortunately I am far from that level in my Japanese studies... However, my goal is to become fluent in Japanese and to have an improved understanding of and respect for Japanese culture. I look forward to meeting you! From Clare こんにちいは。はじめまして。私はクレアで、オーソとラリア人です。大学の一年生で、政治学とにほん研究をべんきょうしているんです。私は話すと聞くのはにがてなんです。それで、日本語を使って練習したいです。 私はアニメや日本の文化が好きですが、あまりひまがないので、たまに見ます。 どうぞよろしくお願いします。
