My Japanese Learning Story

 

It is like a balloon around me for so many years, Now I want to catch it and hold in my hand.

My interesting in Japanese started by watching 'Detective Conan', which is a Japanese anime. I watched the first hundred episodes on TV for the whole year of my grade five. Then I catching it by watching online. At the same time, I switched from watching dubbed Chinese version to original Japanese version. By searching Japanese anime, I noticed that a few favour cartoon I used to watch are all Japanese anime. 

From watching anime to reading manga, then to watching Japanese drama, I wanted to talk like how they talk in TVs and dramas, to know more about the culture, and to experience the life. When I was at grade 12, I attended an Japanese Course outside of school for around one year. I though I could go Japan for travel in that summer. But the price bitted me up at that time. And two years later, I went back to China and did a one-month review of my Japanese. I like those days; I didn't need to think about anything and just focus on learning Japanese. At that time, I felt that I Japanese is part of my childhood, and I want to really know it now.

Last summer, I knew some private Japanese University provides Japanese language learning program. I started to make a plan for going Japan for a year next year. It is a great opportunity to focus on learning Japanese and the culture. And the first step is to review my Japanese study and keep the knowledge stable. Now I want to learn on a regular basis  and learn deeply so I won't forget easily it in the future. It doesn't matter if it can help me on my career, but I know it will help me to have a more enjoyable life. 

Introduction

I'm currently taking Japanese Classes once a week. And hopefully I can go Japan to continue to study Japanese next year. Language is something that we need to study and use everyday. I hope this blog could help both the reader and myself to learn Japanese on a regular basis.

I will share my learning experience in this blog:

• ‘My Story' talks about anything related to my interests of Japanese.
• ‘Use Japanese in my life' explains what all I learned including grammars, sentence structure, vocabulary, and the situation that I can use my Japanese.
• ‘Information' is what I feel useful for learning Japanese and understand Japanese.

I will update every Tuesday and weekend.

In addition, my first language is Chinese, if there is any mistake in my English writing, please correct me so that it's more comfortable for other people to read it. So does my Japanese knowledge. Thank you.
