Hi there! My name is Natalie and I'm from Colorado! This summer I will heading to Japan for a month and half abroad. I hope to raise my Japanese proficiency level before going as I am still very much a beginner. I take French lessons in school and self-study Japanese using mostly online resources. I'd love to connect with other Japanese learners, natives, and teachers as we are all thrown out into the marvelous world of language! I've had an interest in Japanese culture and history for quite some time, and this is what initially spurred me to study Japanese. I hope you'll join me on my journey and I'd be happy to accompany and help with your own studies! またね! ｡＾･ｪ･＾｡
