Hello, I am a California native, and pleased to make your acquaintance! As a language lover and learner, I feel like I am in a position to understand the struggle of learning foreign languages, as well as what's needed in studying them. I firmly believe in the phrase, "there's no such thing as a stupid question", so if there is anything that you are curious about, please let me know and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
