The first few days of Japanese have not been that difficult. Memorizing Hiragana has been the hardest part, but I'll master that pretty soon :) Japanese, はじめまして!

First week of Japanese
I am a native speaker of Korean and am very interested in how languages work. At Princeton, I started learning Chinese as a freshman and even did the Princeton in Beijing program during the summer. After learning Chinese for about three years, I concluded that it was time to learn another new language. Because I have always thought that Japanese was such a beautiful language to speak, I decided to take Japanese 101. The advantage I have as a native speaker of Korean also encouraged me to go for it. I am excited to be able to communicate in Japanese in the future and cannot wait to visit Japan!

Deleteはじめまして！ワン です！どうぞよろしく！
ReplyDelete你好朋友！你怎么样！
I see you right now! Actually I shouldn't be writing "Nice to meet you" since you're my roommate, but I'm glad we're taking it together. Is there a Japanese equivalent to 加油！

ReplyDeleteはじめまして。ルイスです。わたしはプリンソトン (Princeton) からきましたでもわたしはノトロダム(Notre Dame)だいがくのがくせい。わたしのはははかんこくからきましたそしてわたしは half かんこくじん, half あめりかじん。I also learned ちゅうごくごin high school, so I feel like we have a lot of similarities! I hope that your にほんごのじゅぎょうはおもしろい。じゃまたね！
こちらこそどうぞよろしく！ありがとうございます。
Deleteはじめまして Mulano! わたしはコロンビアダイガク(Columbia)のがくせいです。I am also taking first-year Japanese, and I find the memorization the most difficult as well. But I find the more I practice, the less I have to think about translating the characters. I think speaking and listening is very helpful in gaining fluency. Good luck with everything this year!
