Language lover from the US. I decided to learn Spanish during the lockdown in 2020, and so found LingQ.

I have spoken Japanese for over 25 years, (I learned in college), including living and working in country for several years. I have been back in the states for a while, and have enjoyed using LingQ to brush up on my Japanese reading skills.

皆さん、お世話になります。日本語を大学生時代に習いました。卒業後、日本に数年間住んで日常生活で殆ど日本語を使っていました。アメリカに引っ越して帰ってきて１５年間も経ちますが、一応、まだ日本語ができるので、どうぞご気軽に日本語でもお声をかけて下さい。

Hace unos años, viajé a Perú y Panamá para trabajar y visitar a un amigo que vivía allí. Esa experiencia me motivó a aprender español, y durante la cuarentena decidí tomarlo en serio. Sigo estudiándolo con input comprensible y utilizando LingQ.
