Meet your teacher:

Joanna Liu

Konichiwa!
My name is Joanna, I am your Japanese teacher. To start off, I am not a native Japanese speaker. I lived in Japan with my parents when I was a kid. I also went back to Japan for a semester as an exchange student in my last year of University. My Japanese level is not perfect, but I can understand anime, TV dramas in Japanese no problem. I teach a lot of subjects because I am a very good teacher. My teacher style is about having fun. I help each student to achieve his/ her goals.
Are you ready to join me on this Japanese adventure?

Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo is my favourite Japanese language related manga.
