歴史

日本語のお勉強の歴史を書きたいと思います～
エミリーさんに感動した。すごく。
ダニチョーさんとカツさんも前に感動しましたが、エミリーさんは私より4年下ですから、かな？
しかも、女子です。
多分、日本語のブログを続けばいいですよね？Lang-8へ。
でも、あのウェブページはロードが遅すぎるですよ、ここから。
とーとにかく。歴史ですね。

Years
09
Big Sailormoon fan, rented the original LD, but was not interested with the language, or just to even understand it, because there’s the local version on TV, and the local translated manga.

11-13
Started to ask mom to buy me Nakayosi.
I think the last volume of Sailormoon was one of my very first manga.
Started to self-learn hiragana and katakana, and read them off Nakayosi.

12-14
Join Japanese class at school. I was among the best, but not that serious in learning it.

15
First time visited Japan.

15-17
Took a Japanese lesson outside school. Was very hardworking and juggling a lot of tasks that time. But didn’t take the chance to study very well.
Beginning with Prince of Tennis, started watching subtitled anime.

17
Visited some Japanese university with studying there in mind.
Cowarded with scary hole earrings and Shinjuku at night.
The study destination turned to the Southern Hemisphere.

18
Studying multimedia abroad. Barely watch anime or learn Japanese.

19
Began to watch more anime and learned about Drama CDs.
Turned course to Engineering.

20
Half regretted the change. It’s not bad, but missed multimedia.

21
Started learning RTK.
Took JLPT 3. Passed easily.

22
Learned about Khatzumoto and Danny Choo.
Studying with JLPT 2 in mind. Half heartedly, because I didn’t take the actual test.
Decided to go to Japan after graduation, though deeply confused with what to do.

23
Decided to continue study, not work, in Japan. I presumed the possibility of getting work in Japan is too low. Could’ve tried better, but hmm.
Visit schools in Japan with study in mind.
Applied to university in Japan.
JLPT 1 and entrance exam result…?

There are a lot of what-ifs I ask myself. If only I was more serious when I was younger, I could’ve been fluent by now. If only I decided to go to Japan anyway, life would be totally different. If only I didn’t change my course, I’d have been working by now. If only… Still I’m not sure what I want to do in life. The reason? Too many interests, I guess. Just realized recently how I’m such a 中途半端.

But well. It’s not the end of the world. The future is still out there. So. がんばろう！
