Back in 2019, I met a family from Fukushima on the Shinkansen and had a fun conversation about the places we're from and what we liked to do for fun. We had traded snacks too, KitKat for Cheez-Its. It was great to hold a conversation with them in their native language and the experience made me want to work towards improving my conversation in Japanese. ~Jason

So… on the first day in Kobe, me & Mom we checkin at a hotel. After that me & Masato sensi went to a coffee shop to have our first in person lesson. ~H

I love traveling on air planes because it fun and exciting to go to Japan. So I can play with my cousins. And eat all of the yummy food. And to see the cherry blossom. ~L

Hi I`m Skylar:)

I`m from Hawaii, but my mom is from Japan and my dad is from New York. I grew up in a house with two very different cultures and a lot of “Japanglis”. haha. I want to study Japanese so I can communicate better with my family in Japan. Especially my cousin Mayuko. Fun fact! Erika sensi and I have the same Japanese family name (soga) and the same family seal! So we are probably related!! small world huh.
