I'm doubting anyone really reads this thread, but I'll post a hello anyway!
Konnichi wa!
Name: Clara
Born: 1979
I live in Louisiana with my husband and 6 month old son, Ender.
I've loved Japan my whole life, ever since my father read the history of Japan to me while I was in the crib
I'm learning Japanese right now but have no one nearby to practice with, and I'm anxious to learn more and get some practice in!
