Hello! My name is Rachel and I am a grad student in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have started to learn Japanese multiple times before, but I never stuck with it. Now with Textfugu, hopefully I will! I fell in love with Japan through anime and manga, but love learning about all aspects of the culture. One day, I would like to be able to read my favorite Japanese books in their original language. Knowing Japanese would also me with my classes, as I sometimes write about Japanese society and food.

Looking forward to learning lots!
