Myself as a Text
I love studying Japanese language. When I decided to take the language in highschool, I fell in love with it and took the class three years in a row. I joined our school Japanese club and I participated in the school's Foriegn Language Cafe, where all the language classes grouped together and performed or cooked something from their language's culture to get people interested and educated. I was a rajio taiso performer and I wore a kimono and I was able to help make our posters and wrote in Japanese. I also use anime to study Japanese. When I watch them, I always try and watch them in Japanese with english subtitles. The purpose of that is to get used to the speeds at which the actors are speaking and to pick out words or phrases that I can understand and even every once in a while, learn new phrases and words. I try and study every night for the Japanese class I was lucky enough to get into this semester of college and I hope to do a foriegn exchange program to Japan to learn more of their culture and language.
