Hi there, I'm a native Japanese speaker (36F) working as a software developer in Japan.

Although I studied few years in the UK, my English is getting poorer and poorer due to a lack of chance to use it. That's so sad (at least for me), so I am posting here to find someone who can enjoy talking in English.

I have a broad range of interests, such as social issues, philosophical questions, art and culture, and how cats are lovely (dogs are cute, but I'm a cat person. sorry!). It would be more than great if we could have a deep conversation because that is one of my goals as an English learner.

I like...reading (fiction, history, psychology, and social science is my fav field), films, theatre, music (Wolf Alice is my current favourite band, but I also like various kinds of music!), stationary, and travel.

Of course, I am happy with helping your language learning as well.

Please leave your comment or DM me if you are interested. Cheers!

Update: Thank you for such a lot of comments and messages! I am quite surprised now. I'm trying to do my best, but I do appreciate it would take time to reply...

    I also like to talk about social issues, philosophical questions and I'm totally a cat person.

    I have studied Japanese at university for about two years now, but I'm still not very good at conversation.

    If you are interested leave me a dm.

  • Would love to talk in English since speaking is the thing I rarely have the chance to do. But maybe keep eachother up to date by writing would be nice too. I know some Japanese as well and when I get back to learning it would be nice to ask questions if they should arise 🤗 F32 who loves cats (well most animals) and owns four cats (and gets visited by strays daily), interests are books, games and movies.

    parent

    parent

  • I'm interested as well, I'm literally the oldest person in my Japanese class by like 20 years and it's hard to find something in common to converse about.

    parent

  • Interested! I live in Japan also and I am a native English speaker!

    parent

  • I would love to help you with your English.

    I myself have always loved Japanese and have always looked forward to learning it so this is a wonderful chance for me as well.

    parent

  • I'm interested, but your English is farther along than my Japanese 😣

    parent

    Thanks for your compliment :) I can imagine how hard it could be to learn Japanese because I knew how both languages are different!

    It's very hard! Lol. But I still want to learn because Japan is one of my favorite countries in the world.
