Inspiration

What inspired me to join Japanese was my previous learning of it in both year 7 & 8 when I was in Australia. I didn’t do very well in those classes due to not paying attention, being disruptive, and having the same Japanese, Math and Science teacher, and I did not like her. I also thought if I wanted to visit Asia, Japanese would be a good basis to learn off of. Even if it isn’t close enough to the other languages to go to the country and speak them, I would learn how to understand Asian languages, using different alphabets to make words.

Goal

My goal from learning Japanese is to one day visit Japan and see all the culture in that country. I hope that I can also understand and get better with some of my language skills, by leaning how to read and write even with some help. I also hope to learn to understand how to structure a sentence and finding the place of the verb, noun, adjective etc.

Motivation

I will make sure to keep myself motivated by doing all my homework in either block 1 during my off block or as soon as I get home. I will also stay productive during class-time and will ask for help when I am struggling or if I need help with pronunciation or my writing. I will also try to practice with my two friends in that class as we are all in introductory Japanese and not Japanese 9 and I can meet up with them outside of school.
