Age:17
Years as a student:11
Kind of learning center (university, language school, etc.) : Highschool/individual studying
Why do you study Japanese? I have been surrounded by Japanese influences my entire life
Do you think it is a difficult language to learn? No-actually it grows on you quickly
What are the main difficulties you face when learning Japanese? Why?
using the different verb forms; it's very confusing trying to figure out what forms to use in certain sentence structures
What is the easiest thing to learn? What did you learn first?
Adjectives like, "Kawaii", "Kakkoi", "Warui", "Atarashi"...etc. ; I learned the basic sentence structure: "(object)-wa (adjective)-desu."
How long does it take to get used to the Japanese alphabet? about a month if you practice using them everyday.
What was the first thing you were taught? Greetings like "Konnichi ha" and "Ohaiyou"
What are the most common mistakes? when I accidentally confuse one word with another-like one time I said "eiga" (movie) instead of "eigo" (english).
What will your knowledge of the language be useful for in the future? I hope to be a translator or perhaps a Japanese teacher, teaching English in Japan is also an option.
