Hello, Sarah. Hajimemashite. Nihonjin no Hirashin to moushimasu. (I'm a Japanese named Hirashin.)
Wow! You're from Trinidad and tobago. Do you happen to know a famous female singer named Aoyama Thelma? Her paternal grandfather is a Trinidadian. I love her song "soba ni iru ne".
Your profile shows that you live in the US now. Where were you born, Trinidad and tobago or the US? Is your native language English?
You wrote you found this site while online searching for japanese lessons.
Are you learning Japanese through the Internet?
