I am very excited to be taking Japanese this year. I have been fascinated by Japanese culture and language for years, which probably started when I first began to read and watch manga and anime. I love learning new languages - I speak English, Spanish, and some Italian, so I wanted to try a non-Romance language for a change. I also became involved in the Japan Club last year and really enjoyed it. Learning to speak Japanese will help me get more involved in the Club. I also hope to someday soon travel to Japan!
