Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog!
On this blog I will share the experience I gain from studying different languages and cultures.
As for my self, I grew up with my father who is partly Chinese and partly Malay. As he truly loves the Chinese culture and food, he taught me a lot about his culture as I lived together with him for over six years. In times when my father was very busy I had a lot of hobbies to keep myself entertained. One of them was learning languages. I started learning Japanese a couple years a go when I wanted to use my spare time to learn something useful. Since my father rather wanted me to learn Chinese I studied Japanese in silence. A few years ago I got an amazing opportunity to work in a 5-Star Japanese hotel for half a year. Of course I had an amazing time there and my Japanese skills were put to the test. I perfected things in my pronunciation and got to practice a lot.
In the same area there is a Korean school, which was of course too interesting to stay away from. I studied Korean on the side for half a year as well and got a fairly good introduction into the language.
Now my head is full of Asian languages (and some Western I learned on the way as well) I'm really interested in learning the similarities but also the contradictions between several languages.
On this blog I can give you some tips and share some of my experiences while I'm on my Journey. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Thank you Mei,........I like your posts..and your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your great blog. May I ask, are you in Japan studying? Do you have advice for young university students (American) who want to study in Japan please?

Thank you for your kind words. I have not studied in Japan, but I have worked in a Japanese business environment. To answer your question; many friends of mine are in university and study IBL (International business and languages) . They had the opportunity to do their intern ship in Asia and stayed there for half a year. If you finish your studies you can also think about applying for the JET programme. I will paste a link with information for you below.
DeleteGood luck with everything and thank you for reading my blog!
