Hello! I’m Max, originally from New York State. I’m here in Japan for work with the US military, but might end up staying here because I love it so much. I’m learning Japanese because I’m living in Japan right now, and want to feel more comfortable getting around and communicating at restaurants, shops, tourist stuff, as well as just being able to make friends and meet new people. I’m very social so this is very important to me.
I’d also consider working in Japan one day, or working with a Japanese company overseas, or in some way being involved with the Japanese language in my profession, so this is also important to me for financial reasons.
Looking forward to getting started!
