Hello, I'm an intermediate learner of Japanese and just about beginning to speak! I'm wanting to visit Japan sometime this year, maybe in April or May. I'm hoping to get some conversation practice before I go so that my visit is smoother and I can experience a bit more areas/connections that I may not be able to as a non-speaker.

my interests are wide and varied, though the top 3 would be growing plants (or anything related to nature), cooking, and gaming. Mostly though I only play runescape, terraria, or stardew valley lately.

Us being on a language learning subreddit, I also assume it's obvious I have a passion for language learning! I began learning Japanese about 4 years ago, and have been going at it very casually so far.

Even if you'd like to mostly practice your english, I'm happy to connect and chat! Please tell me about your interests and the things you are passionate about!

texting or voice chat is good as well, whatever works best!

こんにちは！私は日本語に喋りが始まったばかりです。今年は3月4月くらい日本を旅行したいので、旅行の前に喋り練習がいいと思います。

日本語力がまだまだですので喋りはちょっとづらい今は。でも頑張ります！あなたも英語で頑張ります！！

趣味はお料理とか、園芸とか、ゲームとか、他もありますけどその三つは一番興味があるところです。

確かに言語交換サブに書いてるですけど言語学も好き！4年くらい日本語勉強しています、でもカジュアルな勉強しています。

主に英語で話したいなら、それでも構いませんよ！あなたの興味や英語学習理由も教えてくださいね！

テキストでもボイスチャットでも、どちらでも結構です!

それではよろしくお願いいたします！
