Second Language Speaker, Nara, Japan

It is worth mentioning that I lived in Nara for 6 months in 2000. This was my first experience of living as a foreigner in a unique linguistic environment. Being a native speaker puts you in the position of being everyones opportunity to practice their English skills. I worked with a small language school near Nara.
