Expertise

I can answer general questions on Japanese language. I can also do translations. I prefer moderately short translations (about half a page?) and short questions as I have to keep up with my own schoolwork!

Experience

I was born in Japan and also attended a Japanese school before coming to England, UK, where I currently live. I'm fluent at both Japanese and English. By the way I am NOT a qualified Japanese teacher - I'm still at school and I haven't even done my GCSEs yet!!
