message

I believe that studying at graduate school will enrich your life. I believe that listening to people's opinions and having an honest attitude is the path to growth. Let's study together. I used to do analyzes using relevance theory, but recently I'm particularly interested in activities such as "hospitality Japanese" and "connecting learners with society."
