Hi all,
Yesterday, I decided to go for a walk. It was a little cold, but I was
feeling extremely adventurous and brave. So I walked to the train station
and on the way decided to test how useful my japanese So I went into 7-11
and asked for kantorimamu which is a kind of snack. There were some phrases
the cashier used that I couldn't understand, but the important thing was I
got to eat kantorimamu! He was so patient and helpful throughout the
transaction. I think I'll go there for some more snacks. Maybe potato
chips next time. So all the way back, I got this silly grin on my face and
I didn't care who saw it or what they thought of me because I was so proud
of myself. You'd feel the same if you are in a foreign place, with little
knowledge of the language, and blind on top of that. I'm not blowing my
trumpets, but I think I've just crossed another hurdle.
Bravissima!!! Yes, you should be proud of yourself. Learning a language is all about using and practising it all day long and, have thick face to try it out whenever possible. So, good girl!!!
