#SpringLearning

「成功したい人たちは孤独に運命づけられている」という有名な言葉があります。夢を叶える為に孤独に没頭することは大事だと言われている。子供の頃から日本の文化に夢中になり、「俺は武士になる！」と言い続けてきた。それから今日に至るまで日本の文化を深く調べたり、日本人の友達を作ったりしてきたのである。その過程で、日本人の価値観に深く共感し、このような人たちと人生を共に過ごしたいと考え、１５歳の時に日本語能力試験N3に合格して、本格的に日本に移住する計画を立てた。私の家庭は貧しかったので、この計画を実行するためには自分で稼ぐしか方法がなかった。そのため、オンラインのプラットフォームで英語の先生として働いた（７歳の時からアメリカ人の友達とずーっと一緒に遊んでたから英語をなんとなくネイティブのレベルまで鍛えた）また、株や仮想通貨に投資することで、少額ながらお金を稼いだ。 ２０１９から続いてきた状況が変わるたびに、暮らしは改善しそうに思われたが、なかなかそうはならなかった。どんどんストレスが溜まって、恐怖に満ちた不安、長い３年間になっている。しかし、このような状況でも幼い頃に描いた日本への憧れは消えない。日本で俺のことを待っている人がいるから、絶望の中でも望みを失わず、日本で新たな、孤独のない人生を始めたいと考えている。

Of course when someone study abroad he will have a new experience and good education and also he will learn a new culture and all these things improve him.

It’s the final day of our event #SpringLearning! Congratulations to the following 15 users for being our final Top 15! 🎉

Living in another country even when you know the language (including natively) can pose a real challenge. When you first move to a new culture even the language barrier may seem small because it is exciting. Then it starts to become a bigger struggle due to culture shock and the language barriers. I lived in Spain for four months and in China for a year. My tips for learning how to live (and not just survive) include, immersing yourself in the language, accept that you will make mistakes in the language such as grammar or use a word in the wrong context, and be wary of the cultural aspects of the language. To immerse yourself, do not just go home and listen to your native language but expose yourself to all mediums such as news, books, and TV shows. Of course a common tip for language learning is to not be afraid of mistakes. I learned some basic phrases in Chinese but they were a bit simple and I allowed a shopkeeper at a food store to help me say something more appropriate and natural sounding. Also a language is also dependent on the culture so something that is okay to say in one region may not be in another. I now live in Liverpool, England which has different dialect and accent (called Scouse) to my native Midwestern American accent and this was difficult at first.

Creo que es una experiencia inolvidable porque tienes la oportunidad de interactuar con personas nativas y mejorar el idioma. Ademàs, puedes conocer nuevos costumbres, probar nueva comida y en general conocer el modo de vida de un paìs diferente. De esa manera, puedes comparar tu civilizaciòn con otro y puedes dejar de tener prejuicios y llegas a ser màs sociable y tienes la mente mas abierta!

日本に留学することで、日本ならではの文化や習慣など身近のことから体験できるようにします。 それに、卒業後日本で就職しようとしています、前もって入学したほうがいいと考えています
