Hi everyone, I am Hanako!
Welcome to “Hanako’s Beginner Japanese in 37 days”!
I am Japanese and was born and raised in Japan, but I lived in America for quite a long time.
I had been working at a Japanese bank in America for fifteen years, but I majored in Japanese literature in college.
My daughter, who was born in the United States, graduated from UC Berkeley, then completed graduate school at UCLA, and now works as a public servant in San Francisco.
Oh, why am I living in Japan now? I got divorced, quit my job at the bank, and since everything is so expensive in the U.S., I moved back to Japan. Now, I’m the CEO of companies in both Japan and the U.S.
Many Japanese-American kids, who have Japanese moms like me, give up mastering Japanese since they believe that studying Japanese may negatively affect their school grades.
On the other hand, I have also witnessed people who do not have Japanese parents, or have never lived in Japan, speaking fluent Japanese.
I think some people are good at acquiring language and some are not.
While teaching Japanese, I have seen many Japanese learners give up mastering Japanese, and I thought, “Why do they give up? What could I do to help more people continue their studies in Japanese?”. Then, I wrote this book.
Everyone, please do not give up learning Japanese.
