I took three years of Japanese during high school and majored in Cross-Cultural Studies at Whitworth University. After teaching for two years in Tokyo on the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program, I earned an MA in Teaching Foreign Languages from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. I have been teaching Japanese for over 20 years now.\u00a0As a non-native speaker myself, I find Japanese grammar fascinating and keenly understand the struggles that adult learners face.\u00a0In my free time, I enjoy watching Japanese dramas, traveling, and learning to make various traditional Japanese handicrafts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1371","staff","type-staff","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/1371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/staff"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/1371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1652,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/1371\/revisions\/1652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
