This is Jess from Park-sensei's class~ The title of my blog comes from an old nickname, "Ducky," which I learned early on was "ahiru" in Japanese. So if you see someone named "ducky" commenting on your posts, that's me.
The reason why I've chose to study Japanese is because of my background. I was born in Okinawa, Japan and lived most of my childhood there until I moved to Hawaii, which has a large Japanese population. Japan and its culture still holds a big place in my heart, hence why I want to be more proficient in the language. I expect that the most difficult part of this class for me will be learning new vocabulary and also kanji. Though this class may grow difficult as the semester goes on, I look forward to learning more Japanese!
I didn't know that Hawaii had a large Japanese population though I do guess that makes sense. I can't imagine what it was like to grow up in Japan. Do you plan to go back someday? Maybe after you can speak the language? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Brenna!
ReplyDeleteI definitely would like to go back to Japan :D The last I went was a couple years ago for Spring Break. It was really fun, and though my Japanese was still very basic at that time, my sister and I were able to wander around with barely any problems. Still, learning the language is super important to get a better experience! 日本へいきたい〜！
