This semester, learning Japanese was a great experience. My professor, Fuse Sensei was very helpful in thoroughly explaining concepts quite enthusiastically in class. I love being able to now put basic sentences together to explain everyday things-I just need to keep up the practice. Meeting my classmates was fun as well. Learning about some aspects of Japanese culture was very interesting, like during the Kyudo presentation, the culture event in O'Shag, and at a career panel I attended in Indianapolis. I also hope to learn enough next semester during First Year Japanese I and through my own studies to understand more anime without needing to use subtitles as much.
Some of the people I've met through the Japanese Program here have become good friends! I am excited to see where next semester leads. Until then!
