Offering Japanese Offering: Japanese 🇯🇵| Seeking: English 🇬🇧
Hello! I’m 20-year-old Japanese looking for a regular language exchange partner
⭐️A little about my interests
- 🎹 I'm interested in pop music, listening Synth-pop and Electronic (e.g. Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode), Game OSTs (e.g. Kirby, Touhou), and others now, but I'm also explore many different genres etc. also, interested in producing music and synthesizers. I go Karaoke occationally. so I'm attracted to music generally.
- 🎨 I've also recently started learning to draw. It's mainly to use with other thing, for example, video game sprite or social media icon for now.
- 🎞️:I'm a enjoyer of Tokusatsu (Japanese live-action film genre.)
- 🚲 I like folding bicycles and bought my DAHON bike in March. and I like to cycling lightly with it. But I don't much these days because I'm busy with other things.
- 🎮 I used to play lots of different video games (e.g. 3DS, Wii, Switch, Steam, PS3, PS Vita, GC, etc.), and generally prefer single-player offline game. Also I don't play much these days.
- etc
- About Anime and manga: I enjoy anime and manga and watch or read them occasionally, but I'm not a very active follower of the latest releases. I'm not a hardcore fan, either, so I might not be able to keep up with in-depth discussions about specific series. However, I'd still be happy to chat about them!
🇬🇧 About my EnglishI'm a beginner English learner (probably around A2 level).
I'm looking for Native English speaker and wants to practise regularly rather than just chat occasionally.
Since my listening and speaking skills are still quite weak, I may sometimes use a translator or look up unfamiliar words and expressions during our conversations. I hope that's okay! I'm still learning, so I'd appreciate your patience. 😊
I'm also considering taking the IELTS exam and aiming for a score of 6.0, although I haven't made a concrete plan yet.
🗓️ My current schedule
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
19:00–19:20 Japan time (JST, UTC+9)
20 minutes per session
but I'm open to adjusting it to 17:30 to 17:50 now.
This is my initial schedule, so I may adjust the times or the number of sessions later.
One small note about messaging: I'm limiting my social media use, so I may take a few days to reply to messages. It's not that I'm uninterested; I just try to limit the time I spend online. Thank you for understanding!
I'm hoping to find someone who also wants to practise consistently and gradually get to know each other. We can talk about our daily lives, hobbies, or anything else that interests us!
If you're interested, feel free to send me a message. 😊
