4Do you mean a student of the Japanese language, or a student who is Japanese?– AngelosJul 18 '19 at 15:07

@AeonAkechi It makes all the difference, doesn't it? In English we tend to take for granted this level of specificity. The answer would be very different depending on the case.– psosunaJul 18 '19 at 16:21

While you do technically answer the question, it is a little unsatisfying. Would you mind expanding your answer to explain the usage? On JLSE, we want our answers not only to help people asking the questions, but also to answer the questions of others with similar questions.– ajsmartJul 19 '19 at 13:30
