About me

I'm an amateur jazz pianist.
I'd like to go to America to play the piano in jazz clubs.

At age 37 I have started to study English again by myself.
I'm a slow learner and not good at English.
However, I'll keep practicing patiently.
Studying English is tough at times, but I still like it.

I'd be grateful for any corrections and suggestions.
I can help you with your Japanese too.

ピアノが好きな、40代のおばさんです。
日本語を教える専門家ではありませんが、歳を重ねた分、あなたの日本語を大人の日本語にするお手伝いができると思います。
