My name is Alan Okina. You can just call me, Okina (Weng in Japanese). To this day, the language and culture of Japan continues to deeply influence me. I wish to teach and share this wonderful language and culture with everyone. The translation done here is for learning purpose and self-improvement. I’m currently working in Japan since 2014.
