日本語を学ぶ (Nihongo o manabu) In recent years I spend a lot of time meditating, to remember my past, and to improve my future. It is deeply pleasurable. Some memories could take years to find- and they require going back to the moments it happened in order to remember. It is like going into a time-machine. You find yourself at a younger age. I have been learning Japanese for about three years now. More than conversation, my main objective is reading. I want to be as fluent with Japanese as with English. I will be. Learning Japanese is like being a child again- and trying to find the basic skills of communication. It is a hobby for me; it makes no difference if it take 5 or more years. I do it because it is rewarding. In my teen years, I remember seeing a Japanese movie. It was so different than American films. When I am more fluent, I will find this movie and watch it again.
