I grew up in South California, and was raised with only English. Over the years I've grown to love Japanese culture, as well as embrace my Mexican heritage. I just want to become fluent in both of these languages so I can converse with anyone who doesn't speak English. I love how both of these languages sound and I want to travel abroad to both countries, so learning the language is the best first step to those goals. I can speak English fluently; I actually love English as well, all the grammar and extensive vocabulary and such. Spanish is a second language for me, but it's not very extensive. I can hold basic conversations, but nothing more. Japanese is the most recent endeavor, but after a trip to Japan, I am determined to at least become fluent in the spoken language.
