Testimonials from My Friends

Treehugger
Mirai is one of my oldest Lang-8 friends. She is a constant source of new information about Japanese, and she strives to utilise new language. There are few people who try as hard as she to improve their language skills, and I feel lucky that she is here to help me everyday.

mirai writes about things I wouldn't think of writing about (in a good way). She is very open and it shows with her writing. Her style is very interesting and draws readers in. Her correction are great because she not only correct, but explains why she corrects it. I hope to be as good as she is in English (but in my case in Japanese). I believe mirai (along with other Lang-8 members) will be one of those people that will contribute to my goal in Japanese fluency ^_^

Mirai always writes honest journals that consider many perspectives. She freely shares her thoughts with us without hiding anything and always takes the time to reply personally to our comments. Also you'll notice her journals usually have a picture attached which is relevant to the topic being discussed. It is all part of the experience you will enjoy when you visit Mirai's journals. ^_^

Where to start. Mirai is first lang8 friend I actually made. Her entry is full of wonderful insights of Japanese culture and people. Even I myself Japanese-native find it very intriguing and able to learn from her a lot. She is very kind and generous individual, Every time I came to her page, I feel like being embraced wholeheartedly. Therefore I just love leaving casual massages, Thank you Mirai. I am so lucky to find person like you from first place!
