Why I chose to learn Japanese | The exciting & challenging parts
Hi everyone!
So I am currently a month into studying Japanese and I'd like to share the reasons why I chose to learn Japanese and what I found to be exciting/challenging about this language.
I am currently a junior at Barnard College and Barnard requires us to fulfill a language requirement. I did not want to continue learning Spanish nor did I want to take advanced-level Chinese as a native Chinese speaker, so I thought Japanese would be a good choice.
This past summer I had an opportunity interning at Daiwa Capital Markets, which is a Japanese firm, and had the chance to meet so many amazing people and got to know more about Japanese culture. I realized that learning Japanese could help me understand this culture at a deeper level so I chose to learn Japanese.
So far, I'd say the hardest part of learning Japanese is having to memorize the vocabularies and grammars. And the most exciting part is that I realize I could now understand some Japanese words when I heard them...!
My goal is to be able to rap in Japanese :D

I cannot wait to hear you rap in Japanese! After the midterm?? がんばれ！
Deleteははは。Nikさん、いっしょにrapおしませんか。
DeleteI can't agree with you more, so many vocabularies to memorize! But I also agree with you that it is an exiting thing- to be able to understand Japanese, more and more every day!
ReplyDeleteTRUE! いっしょにfightingましゅう！
DeleteI didn't know you want to rap!!! If you need a hype man for your debut performance, holler at your boi あかいやま（アンドリューです).
ReplyDeleteもスペインごゴ をべんきょうしました。I didn't want to continue my studies of Spanish as well.
ははは。
DeleteアンドリューはRapがすきですが。いつしょにRapおしますしょ！
I'm curious as to why you don't want to continue Spanish...I also ditched French T T
ReplyDeleteI didn't continue because I feel like I am kinda slow at learning Spanish lol.
DeleteThat’s awesome you decided you wanted to get to know Japanese culture better, looking forward to that rap song! 😁
