What Inspired You To Learn Japanese?

I’ve always wanted to learn another language and I’ve done French every year I’ve been in school, but it was never for me. I had difficulty connecting to anything to do with the language, so when I saw there was a Japanese class I decided to join.

What Do You Hope To Do With Your New Language Skills?

I feel that I will continue Japanese after I finish high school, it would definitely help with communicating with many more people as I grow up. I’d love to be fluent in two languages.

How Will You Keep Yourself Motivated Through This Course?

I will keep myself motivated by scheduling a time each night to study my work. Also, by making sure I’m not pushing myself too hard when I study Japanese so that I can enjoy myself during class.

What Will You Do If You’re Struggling?

It’s always been hard for me to admit if I’m struggling in school, but the easiest thing for me to do is ask a teacher or a friend if I don’t understand what I’m working on. (I am improving on that.)
