To students who are interested in learning Japanese language and culture.

How do you do?
I am Rikka.

Learning Japanese language and culture is fun!
Also, continuing to practice a non-native language is key to mastering it.

I hope I can help your learning and/or brushing up on Japanese language in all fields of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
It is all up to your needs and purposes so please share them with me. I will try to find out the best learning methods and style for you.

I hope you can enjoy leaning with me! :)
