A very good improvement!!

Two months ago, I couldn't say a proper sentence in Japanese, and now here I am! I can have daily life conversations with native speakers! Such improvement doesn’t come by itself: I had very good teachers and I also studied on my own after the classes, learning the new vocabulary, doing homework. It is also important to practice with other natives outside the school. You're in Japan, so don't hesitate to speak to everyone!
About the traditional course, I'm glad that I took this course because it was so interesting! When I was in middle school, I was interested in Japanese pop culture, but now I'm more into the traditions of Japan. Japanese people also seemed happy that we were interested in their culture. Now the next step is to keep going on learning the language to be able to speak more easily with elders! I met some during the tea ceremony and I could feel that they wanted to explain some things to me but unfortunately, it was still a bit difficult for me to understand everything.
