Week 1

My name is Faith Garcia and I am currently a sophomore at Princeton University. I haven't yet settled on a major but I am considering East Asian Studies. I decided to take Japanese at the end of my freshman year after finishing up my first year of studying Korean. I knew that I wanted to start studying a second language and was torn between Chinese and Japanese. Both seemed interesting to me but I decided on Japanese due to the similarities it has to Korean.

I'm excited to learn all I can this year!

ありがとうございます

  8. Hi, my name is Li. I am a senior at Columbia University. I learned first year Korean, too. It is true that Korean and Japanese have some similarities, but I think it is hard to learn Korean and Japanese at the same time. Sometimes I get confused.By the way, East Asian Studies sounds cool!
