Hi annie1223r
Wow, great job studying on your own! Your English is very good! You have a couple spelling errors here and there, but that can be easily fixed.
I'm from the East Coast of America and I studied Japanese for 4 years in college, and now am just trying to keep up what I learned. I work full time so there isn't much free time to study, so I end up forgetting things instead of learning more...
Anyway, if you have Skype, maybe we can voice chat sometime in English or Japanese
You can PM (private message) me if you do have a Skype account.
Good luck continuing your studies!
