Hello! My name is Frankie Samargin and I'm from Saint Mary's College.
Before attending Saint Mary's College I originally wanted to pursue a career as a history teacher. After some consideration I realized that I didn't exactly feel comfortable with that career. My best friend actually introduced me to the idea of teaching English in Japan. Something about that just sounded right. I want to study Japanese to help me become an efficient educator.
Besides my professional reason for studying Japanese, I've also been a huge fan of anime since middle school. Since then I've come to appreciate the Japanese culture and language. Now I actually listen to what the characters are saying instead of simply reading the subtitles. I've been able to pick up a few words, but nothing to sneeze at really.
Overall, I'm very excited to begin learning Japanese!
