 こんにちわ！はじめまして、Church-です。どうぞよろしくおねがいします。 Hello! Nice to meet you. 😊 My name is Lily Church, and I am a junior at the University of Notre Dame studying biology and anthropology. My primary career interest is in researching Native American health, particularly surrounding genetics and evolution in a historical sense. My family is Native, and I think of colonization, wondering if the harsh and rapid introduction of new disease, food, ways of life, etc. correlates with the severe allergies and health conditions my dad and brothers have.  Considering my academic background, it might seem a little odd that I chose to take Japanese!

This program is English-based, but I still think it is always respectful to learn some of a country's language before visiting as a foreigner. It will also make navigation and conversing with people far easier!  The reason I chose to study abroad in Ja...

I love the feel/style of the animation in the older episodes; it reminds me of some of my favorite childhood shows, like The Adventures of Tintin or Scooby Doo.  One Piece's main character, Luffy My favorite character thus far is Robin-さん. The hiragana we've learned so far helped me piece together a few words and phrases while watching the show! I recognized a couple simple terms, such as question vocabulary like なに and なん, and か to signify the end of questions. I recognized some numbers and phrases like そうか ...
