Since very young, I was introduced to the rich Japanese culture, and soon started to fall in love with it. Since my father is fluent in Japanese and travels to Japan often for business reasons, he occasionally taught me basic Japanese and introduced me to many aspects of Japanese culture. What is more, I soon began to love J-Pop, and so not only have started I listening to J-Pop, but also singing many artists' songs such as Utada Hikaru's "Flavor of Life," Thelma Aoyama's "wasurenaiyo," Ito Yuna's "Precious," and more. In addition, I particularly liked a Japanese drama "Hana Yori Dango," so I have always wanted to understand what the characters were saying without subtitles. Besides, I would like to go to Japan for a few months next summer, spending time there learning about many things and experiencing the rich Japanese culture. I am so excited to be able to read and write in Japanese, but at the same time, I know that doing so would not be easy, for there will be many vocabs that I would have to memorize and learn. But, with my love for Japanese, I am sure that I will be able to overcome all these difficulties! :)
