Hello, I’m Liam Sherry I am a second-year student majoring in Journalism with a minor in Japanese. I wanted to take this class for my Japanese minor requirement. I’ve been studying Japanese since early high school because I wanted to learn a less common language in school rather than Spanish for example. I was super fortunate to have a great Japanese teacher in high school that gave me a lot of love for the Japanese language, people, and culture.

My hobbies include my favorite sports hockey and lacrosse as well as hiking and music. One of my biggest new hobbies is photography especially landscape photography. I’m excited to take this class this term and hopefully learn a lot about the linguistic side of Japanese.
