Germaine先生が日本に住み始めてから早一年😲
この一年で感じたことを聞いてみました👂
1 Year In
After one year of living in Japan, how do I feel? Well, I’d say it’s been full of ups and downs. Compared to America, a lot of my stress has decreased, but I still worry about my family. I’ve gotten better at Japanese, I’m able to understand and say more than I ever could back in America, and my confidence has increased a little, too.
I do miss my family and friends, so I feel lonely at times. But I’ve also enjoyed going out to new places, trying new things, and seeing more of the country. Even though I go out more often than I did in America, I’m more nervous about talking to people and going to new places. This is mainly because a lot of places here in Japan are small, and I get nervous about accidentally knocking things over when I walk in.
I’ve also become a bit shy when speaking Japanese sometimes because I tend to forget words and grammar structures I should know. Speaking can be difficult. Still, I try, and I’ve met some interesting people. Usually, it’s elderly people, teenagers, or kids who have the confidence to talk to me, Its rarely people around my own age.
The food here has been amazing, and I love trying new things. But I do miss most of the food from back home. I crave chipotle burritos, or mexican tacos and nachos. I try to make it myself when I can, but it’s never quite the same. I’m sure that once I’ve been here longer, I’ll get more craves for Japanese food, right now tonkatsudon and curry are becoming my favorites. Still, it’s harder to eat when japanese dishes are saltier than some of american dishes.
Japan has been an interesting and fun place to live, and I’d really like to see more of it. Once I feel more settled and comfortable, I’ll be able to decide whether I want to stay permanently or just temporarily. I know I can always go back and visit home, but money has been tight lately. For now, I do want to continue to stay in Japan for as long as i can and keep exploring more of the country and meeting new people.
日本語がみるみるうちに上達しているGermaine先生ですが、
言葉の壁はまだ厚いようです、、、😢
きっとGermaine先生以外にも同じように
感じている外国人はたくさんいるはず💡
日本にいる私たちとしては英語力を身に付けて
そんな外国人の方々と交流したいですね(*’▽’)/
