First Blog Entry (due 8/28)

Why I chose to study Japanese:
When I was in eighth grade I took an exchange trip to Izumi City, Japan. Right outside Osaka. I stayed with a family of 3 for about a week and went to school with their daughter. Ever since then I wanted to learn something different than the traditional Spanish or French. I wanted to learn a unique language and potentially be able to use it someday in Japan. I am excited to get started and start conversing in the language, though I am nervous about the troubles that come with learning a new language. I know it is hardwork, but I am looking forward to the challenge.

Sentences in Japanese:

せんせい、しつれいします。じゃ、また。
ありがとうございます。どういたしまして。
すみません。
