Hello. My name is Kelly Vang. The reason I am learning Japanese is because when I travel there in the future, I want to be able to understand what’s happening around me, to be able to speak to people, and possibly make some friends. I also want to live there for a few years if I can. I have always wanted to travel to Japan and learn more about the culture there. I don’t usually post on forums but I am trying it now because I really want to learn Japanese and stay focused. I tried this site out a few years ago but I stopped because I was focusing more on high school. I’ll have a little more time now so I am very determined to learn Japanese.
