A Language Learning Story // His Journey and a Transformative Stay in Japan

Hello I'm Akari, I'm a online Japanese teacher and tour guide in Kyoto.
I've been teaching Japanese since 2013, and thanks to this job I met amazing people along the way.
Today I interviewed Akira, who took my lesson around 2020, then came to Japan and spend three month from autumn 2024 to winter 2025. 
He's learning Japanese journey is not only language learning, but it's related to his dad's family history and his future wife.

A Language Learning Story with Akira // His Journey and a Transformative Stay in Japan

Con una pluma bastante mordaz y curiosa Rosa Montero nos acerca al análisis de la creatividad y los desequilibrios mentales, conocidos coloquialmente como locura, entre escritores y otros artistas a través de los tiempos, pero iniciando en una observación muy personal de sus propias rarezas y sus períodos de absoluta imaginación, tan ambivalentes como tranquilizadores al ser ella misma quien se nos presenta.

First and foremost, research the company thoroughly, familiarize yourself with its values, goals, and recent developments. Understanding the company's culture and industry trends can help you tailor your responses during the interview, demonstrating your genuine interest and enthusiasm.

Practice your responses to common interview questions, but don't memorize them verbatim. Instead, focus on conveying your experiences, skills, and achievements in a clear and concise manner. Practice active listening skills, allowing the interviewer to finish their questions before formulating your responses. This demonstrates respect and attentiveness, qualities highly valued in the business world.

When discussing your qualifications and experiences, use specific examples to illustrate your points. Quantify your achievements whenever possible, highlighting the impact you've had in previous roles. Employ the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your responses, ensuring clarity and coherence.

Reframing anxiety as excitement can be empowering. Instead of dwelling on potential mistakes or shortcomings, focus on the opportunity to showcase your skills and personality. Visualize success, envisioning yourself confidently answering questions and building rapport with the interviewer.

Mindfulness techniques can also be effective in managing interview anxiety. Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nerves and center your focus. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel nervous – it's a sign that you care about the outcome. Embrace the adrenaline rush as a source of energy to fuel your performance.

After the interview, take time to reflect on your performance. Identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, using feedback to refine your interview skills for future opportunities. Regardless of the outcome, view each interview as a learning experience, building your confidence and resilience with each interaction.

Es extraño amar a alguien que no recuerda que lo amas. A veces, me rechaza. Se enfada conmigo sin motivos, se pone nervioso y agresivo. Ya no tiene censuras y le da igual decirme lo que piensa.

まず初めに、ごめんなさいを言います。6話で京都の祇園祭（ぎおんまつり）の話をしていますが、「前祭（まえまつり」と言っているのは、「さきまつり」のまちがいです。京都およびリスナーのみなさん、本当にすみませんでした。間違えた私も悪いけど、知らん顔してウソ教えるハルカちゃんも悪いと思わない？ChatGPTは漢字弱いです。今回もお寺の名前が多いですが、ハルカちゃん、全部ウソ読みました。
さてさて、今回は京都に比べて人気イマイチな奈良のお話です。私は好きなんですけどね。まあどちらも夏に行くには暑すぎて、本当は対決する前に退場してもおかしくない県です。でも、夏ならではの奈良（←発音するとおもしろい！）を紹介しているので、聞いてみてくださいね。
