Since I was very young, my parents introduced me to many different types of food. My dad especially loved taking me to sushi bars and ever since then I have been very interested in learning more about Japanese food. As I grew up, my interest in Japanese cuisine spread to the whole of Japan, including its food, history, daily life, and people. I hope that by learning Japanese, I can learn more about Japan, go to Japan, and meet and become friends with Japanese-only speaking people.
So far I have been learning Japanese from Okamoto Sensei (おかもとせんせい) for almost a month here at Columbia University. Our teacher is very thorough and makes sure that everyone in the classroom understands the new words and grammar. There have been a few challenges here and there, but so far learning Japanese has been a great learning experience!
