Self-Introduction

ハジめまして！

トマソンです、ドオゾよろしク。

Hello, my name is Meghan Thomassen. I am currently taking First Year Japanese, and will be describing my experience here on this blog. So far this class has been challenging, but engaging. I am never bored because ハなブサーせんせい keeps us on our toes with new ひらがなand　カタカナ.

I chose to study Japanese because of my love for the culture and history found in Japan. My father lived there for a while before I was born, and has told me so much about his many exciting experiences there. Over this past summer, I read the novel, "ショグン", which only determined my will to master this language. I wish to study abroad there someday, whether it be during a semester, year-long, or summer program.

I am also interested in the art of アニメ and まんが, being somewhat of an amateur artist myself. Both modern and ancient Japanese culture fascinates me. Maybe someday I will be able to visit トきょ and see the many lights of the city. Or perhaps I could stay in ナごや and witness a traditional ちゃ ceremony. All of these ideas have been dreams of mine for some time, and I hope that this class will help further that dream.

アリガト、 じゃあまた！
