Japanese conversation

15


15 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Dec 03, 2016

Let's converse in Japanese! No pressure, I'm pretty rusty too. 15 minute sessions Via Google Hangouts.

Training & Qualifications


Nisei raised by Japanese immigrants.
Japanese was technically my first language.
Grew up watching Dragon Ball on illegal VHS.
Sent to 9 years of Japanese Saturday school, called Asahi Gakuen in Pasadena.
Father was a sushi chef!
Brother was a Mini 4WD champ!
Minored in Japanese, and even took courses that proved to be too hard for most Japanese majors. Class consisted of me, native Japanese speakers, and a few Chinese and white kids that were hardcore.
Just tried the online JLPT N3 sample and scored 15 out of 17, both were kanji mistakes, got 100% on the reading and listening comprehension. Kanji is my achilies heel. http://www.jlpt.jp/samples/forlearners.html

Availability & Preferences


Monday ~ Wednesday, Afternoon & Evenings

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!
