Hello, I'm Akane. I am 24 years old. Now I am a Japanese teacher in Maryland, USA. I would like to make many friends around my age.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before working abroand, I want to make a place in Sapporo to chat in Japanese for people who are learning Japanese. It's not lesson but just have nice time with coffee, snasks, movies, and anything you like. Also I have licence of Japanese teaching, so you can ask me some Japanese grammars, vocabularies, cultures and any worries during chating if you need. Let's share your daily life in Japan practicing for speaking Japanese! if you have any trouble, let me help you. The place is my brother's cafe/bar, so you can also enjoy dinner after chatting there.

I am not in Sapporo anymore, but my brother is still working on my "Japanese chat" at his café in Sapporo, so if you are interested in it, please let me know. I can introduce my brother and my friends in Sapporo.
