Hello. My name is Janely (Juh-nelly), I am a junior at UO majoring in Global Studies and a double minor in Japanese and Italian. I decided to take this course because languages have always been an important part of my life as I grew up with Japanese and Spanish, and I am very thankful to be continuing my studies with Japanese here. I took a linguistics course for the first time during Winter 2020 and I really enjoyed it, so I am excited to be in a class that merges these two subjects. I have 2 cats, Kuma and Conchita (como el pan dulce de México) and they are both so sweet. I also love naps and sleeping, and I am happy when my cats join me.
