Hi! My English name is Jane, my Chinese name is YIzhan, and my Tatar name is Alsu. I am an ethnic Kazan Tatar from China, but I do not speak the language. My parents went to Chinese schools, so they don't speak it either. My grandparents only spoke it a little when they were very young, so they are not fluent in it currently. They are also not the best teachers to be honest :) Although we don't speak the language, being Tatar is a very strong part of our identity, and I really want to connect with our family's past. I think learning the language would be a great way to do that. I also really like learning languages, as you can probably see from my profile :)
