Hi, I'm Melissa. I am originally from a small village in New England but have lived in Atlanta for many years. I'm an outgoing, friendly computer professional who has had a lifelong interest in language learning. Í am a mom of two and wife who has been married twenty years. I love Japanese culture and learning about history and genealogy. I'd love the opportunity to expand my Japanese speaking skills and I'm happy to help others practice their English skills. I hope to make some new friends through this site.
