Hello, I am Arianna (Ari) from Rome, Italy! I am 31 and I love learning languages. I studied Japanese at university and fell in love with Tokyo. I had the chance to study there for two years and work with a Japanese company, but my Japanese was never very strong and it has been a long time since then, so I would like to start practicing again. My goal is to be able to speak spontaneously and sound okay—if not fully natural :') I enjoy topics related to everyday life (case studies on communities, commuting, fan culture, ageing, etc.), as well as fantasy books, music, singing, video games, traveling, going to the movies, and experiencing different cultures and foods. I recently started taking care of plants, and it would be fun to talk about that too.
