I'm studying computational linguistics at Brigham Young University. I work with linguistic cognitive modelling and automated language testing using speech recognition.

I have been an avid studier of Japanese since 2003, and lived and worked as a missionary in the Chuugoku and Shikoku regions from 2007-2009. I passed the JLPT level 1 in 2009.

comment Why is 二十歳 pronounced はたち?
Probably because 20 is coming of age; words that are treated with special significance often refuses to change.

comment What's the difference between wa (は) and ga (が)?
Oh dear... there have been entire books written on this. Perhaps one will make a short post summarizing the usages.
