I Am Japanese

Yup grew up in Japan for 14 of my 18 years of my life and still visit often. Can speak perfect Chinese and English though thankfully I started learning super young around 2 so most people just assume I was born in America. But I can speak and read Japanese. And I for sure still like to stay in touch with my culture it’s important to me. Though I love Western things as most Japanese people do. So I enjoy blending and mixing the cultures.

I have never visited Japan but I have always wanted to. I was hoping to visit when the Olympics were on but Covid put a stop to that.
I look forward to covid being under control so I can finally go.
I hope you are enjoying life in the USA

I envy your grasp of languages, sadly I can only speak English.
I hope to visit Japan when all the covid restrictions are lifted, it looks like a wonderful country.

Oooh I wanted to learn Japanese so bad. I took it in HS, but I found it soo challenging and unfortunately without practice what little I had has slipped away.

You're fortunate to have learned other languages early in life.
It's a great advantage to be multilingual. I wish I were.

And I’d like to visit the memorials in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It is important to keep your national identity and keep the passport of your birth country,never trade your heritage nor culture,you are japanese,you just reside in the coldron of eniquity

I love and respect that :) . I was born in America and I myself wanna go to Japan some day. I love the culture there and wanna learn more about it in person for myself. I find Japanese culture and customs interesting. I hear Japan is very beautiful.

So where do you live now?

I think it'd be great to know muliple languages, and hopefully someday I will.

Though language is my worst subject, so it's going to be tough for me.

That is pretty cool that you stated learning a second language at such a young age. I'm sure it was easier for you that way instead of doing it much later in life.
