When I first came to Japan and started working, I hardly understood any Japanese. Because of that, when I was being taught the job, I felt like I was being scolded no matter what was said to me, and I was very anxious.

To learn Japanese quickly, I would converse with Japanese people and take notes of any words I didn't understand. Then, when I got home, I would look up those words and study them. Once I could speak a little Japanese, I was able to understand what was being said to me at work, and I was able to work with peace of mind.

Now that I'm Specified Skilled Worker (ii), I can get a driver's license and even buy my own car. On my days off, I drive. There are many places in Japan with beautiful scenery, so I would like to travel more in the future.
