Description

Hello anyone who happened to stumble across my profile!
I'm currently looking for someone to practice my (admittedly weak vocabulary-wise) Japanese. In return I'd be very happy to help you practice Greek and/or English.

I am a high school student from a small town in Greece. I started learning English in 2015 when I was 8, and I've considered myself fluent in it for 4-5 years now. To be honest that was maybe the best decision of my life. Thank you toddler me.

Outside of school my main hobbies are drawing and playing music. I've been playing the euphonium in a marching band since 2017, though my musical interests end there, at playing. My *main* interest is drawing/painting, both traditional and digital, where my main niche is comics/manga and visual storytelling. My goal with that is to move someone emotionally so much with my stories that they rethink their life choices; I think I would be complete then. Art really is something you need to do yourself to understand.

I've always been interested in the Japanese language, but only in the past year have I started taking it a little more seriously. Having already mastered a second language really helps with my motivation. My method consists of a combination of active and passive immersion (through manga, music, anime, YT videos and such) and targeted study with Anki flashcards and grammar forums. I don't even care if it's worth my time, I simply love this language. The way the grammar connects, the beauty (and the jank) of the writing system, the phonetics, the way people think. It's so different yet weirdly familiar to me.

If we start talking just know I will BOMBARD you about my interests and my culture, and I hope you will too! (Also if it helps, I am INFP)
