[Melpy]

I'm in my third year of Japanese right now, but for the past two years I had a pretty bad teacher who didn't teach us very well. This year we have a new teacher, and she's from Japan. Last year my family and I hosted a Japanese exchange student for about 11 months. Next September I am planning to go to Japan for 2-3 weeks to visit my exchange student in Nagoya and some of my family in southern Japan.

To help me prepare for this trip, I want to start practicing my Japanese more! Is there anyone who is willing to converse and correct with me?
