Xiongさん：ああ、そうですか。ありがとうございます。

When I was in Japan six weeks ago, I ate a lot of Japanese snacks. I really found the Japanese versions of some snacks that I eat in America really interesting. One of them is Pocky. The middle Pocky's Katakana says "buruuberii" for a blueberry flavor and the right Pocky says "raichi" for the lychee flavor. I also really enjoyed the different types of Kit Kat. My favorite was "banirabiinuzu," or Vanilla Beans. I wish these Japanese versions were more popular here in America.

Post 4. ぼくは Arthur Binardさんの よみきかせの エヴェントに いきました！

せんしゅう の　げつよび　Arthur Binard さんの　lectureに　いきませんでした。でも、せんしゅうの　すいよびは　よみきかせに　いきました。

I attended Arthur Binard's poetry reading last Wednesday. I was very impressed with Mr. Binard's Japanese skills and his accent. He really sounded like a native speaker. The event was a little overwhelming though because they were speaking so fast in Japanese, and since I'm on my 6th week of Japanese, I was a little lost. But he did read the poetry in English, too, which was nice. Some day, I would love to have the skills and fluency in Japanese of Mr. Binard.

I love a lot of stuff from Japan, but if there's one thing that comes to mind when I think of my favorite Japanese things, it is a Japanese drama called Rookies. If you don't know, baseball is really big in Japan. Japan even won the Little League World Series about a week ago. Rookies is about a high school baseball team full of delinquents who eventually turn away from their criminal ways and together try to achieve their dream of going to Koshien, the most prestigious high school baseball tournament in Japan. I love sports, and Rookies was very inspiring for me. From the picture, you may think it looks pretty lame (a bunch of guys with their shirts off), but don't judge me. If you watch it, you WILL cry at the end.

Konnichiwa! My name is Raffy Mercurio, a Freshman. I decided to study Japanese because I spent six weeks in Fujisawa, Japan in the summer of 2014. I was enrolled in a foreign exchange program, so I lived with a host family. Ever since that experience, I've decided that I want to study Japanese in depth so that I can return to Japan and speak the language.
