Hello I am Kieran (they/them). I’m a junior and i’m majoring in linguistics and minoring in japanese. I took this class because its a cool intersection between my major and minor. At first I wanted to learn japanese because I wanted to watch anime in japanese without subtitles, now I just want to speak and understand the language. I became interested in linguistics because I thought it would help me with learning more languages and to an extent it is kind of helpful.

As for my hobbies I like to knit and draw. I mostly do digital art, but sometimes I do traditional. Sometimes I’ll make short comics that are about 5 pages long. Most of them are just concepts or unfinished drawings though, I don’t really have any of them published. Here is one of the drawings I did last October.
