R1 – Independent Child

The first time I ever used transit by myself was my first year at “Centennial Secondary High School.” Now that’s much older then any independent kid in Japan. However, since I am so much older I have more experience and knowledge with danger in everyday life. The first time I took transit by myself was when I was going to school. A very boring first time but it was my first so of course I should include it. If school is out of the equation then my memory says that the first time I went somewhere was to meet up with a friend in a mall.

Why Japanese?

I was inspired by my sister to learn Japanese because she was able to go to Japan with this ability. One day I’ll will go to Japan and have fun. I am also inspired by anime animation. I’m interested in doing animation in the future and if I do work for a company knowing Japanese would be useful just in case

My goal is to unconsciously be able to understand basic Japanese. It may be difficult but if I can understand little to no Chinese I should be able to understand some Japanese. Even if I am not able to it’s good to have some knowledge of how Japanese works.

My motivation to keep going is anime again because some anime out there don’t have subtitles which mean average English-speakers like me don’t have the ability to understand. Maybe if I keep learning Japanese I might even subtitle some anime and post it on the internet. Japanese is an incredibly useful language where I’m going in life.
