About me - Fran Wrigley
I’m Fran, a Japanese teacher based in Brighton, UK. I learned Japanese as an adult, just like you!
I know learning a new script can feel daunting, especially when some characters look almost identical. I love finding ways to make learning Japanese more approachable, memorable and fun.
My favourite katakana word is probably パン (pan, bread), because it reminds me of one of my favourite Japanese snacks: melon pan! 🍈
