Name: Maya (or Mel doesn't really matter)
Age: 18 (turning 19 next month)
Years studied: 4 years self study, half a semester (and many more to come since it's one of my majors)
Estimated level: Moderate. Still so much to learn though :'D (and classes are just a tad slow for me, despite being in "Intermediate JPNS")
Knowledge of Hiragana/Katakana: All
Kanji: ~250? It's bound to change since I...surprisingly, enjoy kanji.
What is your main goal with studying Japanese?: To read my favorite novels in Japanese, translate lyrics and interviews of my favorite musicians, live in Japan for a few years..so basically, become fluent.
What materials have you used before?: I have used too many lol. I mainly use Genki series (even though I hate it with a burning passion), Japanese Demystified, Memrise (for vocab), Rikaikun, lang 8, and Hello Talk
