A moment spent alone doing something you enjoyed

The Japanese culture has always been a fascination for me, particularly the Japanese language.It always amazed me how the Japanese rapidly fired their words at a breath-taking speed, causing me to wonder if the recipient of the Japanese “bullets” actually understood what was being thrown at them.I was mostly inspired by the various anime I watched, Japanese animation that was readily available on the internet. I was hooked on them, watching as many episodes as I could manage within my free time.

Having such a strong interest in Japanese, it was definitely stupid not to do something about it. As if on cue, one of my friends discovered a website where you could learn Japanese online. Of course, I was thrilled and checked it out immediately. Upon attempting to enter the site, I was appalled that the site was only assessable with Mozilla Firefox. Shrugging my shoulders in defeat, I downloaded Firefox and slowly waited for the green loading bar to fill.


After what seemed like an eternity, it was finally done. Staring at the page, I briefly wondered how long I was going to take to learn passable Japanese. The page was filled with Japanese words. There were 3 different types of Japanese words, namely hiragana, katakana and kanji. I resolved to work hard and achieve my goal.


The first few days were a constant struggle as I had no help from anyone or any base foundation. Constantly backtracking to reread the information I was trying so hard to digest, I felt that I couldn’t go on. But determined to never give up, I persevered. Slowly I built a foundation and learning the words gradually became easier. Soon I was enjoying learning the new language as I could understand it better. After a few weeks I could speak some crudely formed sentences and write some Japanese words as well. Not bad considering I learnt everything by myself! Who says you can’t enjoy something that you do by yourself? For my case it was both a fruitful and enjoyable experience!
