Good evening, My name is Takeyuki and I am currently studying at St. Mary's International School in Tokyo and I work night shifts time to time. I grew my interest in Russian when I thought I should start a new hobby to expand my experience. Also, I've made some Russian friends recently, very unique and interesting people. It is really nice to hang out with them over the weekends but it gives me discomfort simply because I just cannot understand their conversations when they're talking in Russian. I want to be able to talk with my new Russian friends with their language since they're not too educated in English or Japanese and because I want to understand the conversations which I've been missing out of.
