こんいちわ みなさん

Hello!

My name is Clemence and I am a first year Japanese student. I am a dual citizen of both France and the United States, so I can speak both French and English fluently. I wanted to take Japanese because I knew that it would be more of a challenge than one of the Romance languages, and it certainly is! I also love Japanese art and have greatly enjoyed my studies of Japanese landscape painting.

I would really love to study abroad in Japanese; however, that means that I will need to work very hard and greatly improve! Thus far I have found it very difficult to learn hiragana in terms of forming cohesive words when reading characters. I want to work hard so that all of the fragmented bits that I am studying will soon come together for me!
