  1. Hallo Miho ohki san,

    Meine Name ist Raik und ich bin auf Grund meiner leidenschaft die Japanischen kampfkunste regelmäßig in Japan. Mein ergeiz die Sprache zu vertiefen, um noch tiefer in das Verständnis eurer Kultur zu gelangen, lasst mich nach jemandem suchen der mich dabei unterstützt…
    Da du wie ich in deiner Biographie gelesen haben viel beschäftigt bist, wollte ich erstmal anfragen ob du Zeit und Interesse hast an einem Austausch über die Möglichkeiten meine Kenntnisse zu vertiefen…

    Mit freundlichen Grüßen

    R. John
