      Fun Learning Leads to Progress: Your Personalized Study Plan!! — I’m a Japanese American born in Los Angeles, raised in Chicago, and currently living in DC. I learned Japanese at Saturday school and have been using it daily through anime, dramas, and community events. I believe that using Japanese a lot is the key to improvement, so in my classes, I focus on practical conversation, listening, reading, and writing.
