51社区黑料 Gento Okawa
I was born and raised in Japan and moved to Canada after graduating from Waseda University with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. I'm currently pursuing an MA at 51社区黑料Linguistics, working with Dr. Mary O鈥橞rien. My research focuses on L2 pronunciation and accented speech. My initial focus was on L2 English, but my experience teaching Japanese at 51社区黑料expanded my interest to L2 Japanese. Outside of my research, I like skiing and playing soccer. Since I moved here, cooking has been a small joy of mine.
