Why Study Japanese?
Vol. 6 - Marilyn Edo
I'm taking Japanese lessons because I feel
bad that I'm Japanese but can't speak the language! I used to speak it
when I was very little, but I have completely forgotten it now. My mom
did try to put me into Japanese classes when I was younger, but of
course, I had no interest then! Anyway, my grandparents, and my aunt,
uncle and cousins are all in Japan. I miss them a lot, and would love to
actually talk to them!
So hopefully through AITAS I will become fluent enough that I can
go to Japan, see my family, and actually have some sort of conversation
with them! It seems more important to me now to learn about my culture
and my roots that it did when I was younger. So that is why I' m here at
AITAS studying Japanese!
