Why did I choose to learn Japanese?
I made this decision two days after this semester kicks off...
I speak Mandarin and English, but the desire inside my body of mastering a new language grows stronger and stronger. For a third language, I have friends who chose Spanish because they think it's useful, some picked French in order to be 'elegant', some even studied Arabic since no body else from non-Middle East regions knows it. But I decided to go with Japanese, because of a Japanese Anime: SLAM DUNK!

In a nutshell, I grew up with this basketball story. It inspired me to become a basketball player, also got me interested in the Japanese language. Characters like さくらぎはなみち桜木花道 talk in a very loud and funny way, which sounds somewhat similar to Mandarin but different. I was trying to mimic what they say every time I watch it. Even today, If I open up one episode, this energetic and funny cartoon would still catch my full attention and make my heart beat.
The other reason to learn Japanese is that the the way they call me: Hanさんsounds like 'Handsome', which warms my heart every time I hear this. Very sweet!
So far, I am enjoying my journey in the Japanese language and I hope one day I can talk like an native Japanese person. Yah!Cheers.

ReplyDeleteありがとう！This one is very very famous and I strongly recommend it! By the way, which Japanese anime did you watch?
DeleteI'll be sure to take a look at it! I enjoy watching the anime ブリーチ and I enjoy reading the manga ナルトしっぷでん。
DeleteわたしもSlam Dunk をみました。I loved it too! It did not have an ending yet, right?
ReplyDeleteいいえ、slam dunk has an end, or say many different versions of ending and I don't know which one is official. any ways，I want to watch how 湘北 制霸全国
DeleteThat's so interesting that a cartoon not only inspired you to learn a new sport, but to learn a new language as well! I definitely share your love of learning languages, I am a native English speaker but have been learning Chinese and now Japanese (both of which you know, haha) as well. 加油！がんばってください！
ReplyDeleteありがとう帕克さん！Learning a new language also opens the gate to explore an new culture, right? I guess now you might have noticed some correlations in between ちゅごくの と にほの culture and language. For me, it's the most fun part! Anyways, it's a pleasure to be in this class with you! I can help improve your 中文 and you can help my えいご, and let's learn にほんご together!
