I didn't like studying. So, I started learning Japanese by watching YouTube and listening to music. I also spoke a lot with Japanese people at work.

Even when I made mistakes or didn't understand something, I continued speaking Japanese. When someone told me, "That Japanese is wrong," I would immediately ask them to explain what was wrong. By repeating this process, my Japanese improved significantly.

I'm so happy that I can now consult with Japanese people about anything. I can express my opinions and decide for myself what I want to do, so my work is fun and rewarding. Right now, I want to buy a house in Japan. I also want to drive a car. To achieve that, I want to work hard and improve my skills.
