Josh's Elementary Japanese Blog

 What's up everyone! For this blog post, I am commenting on a video that I watched about a day in the life of a Japanese exchange student. Watching the video, I learned so much about how different the school culture is in Japan compared to America. For one, students have to change shoes once they get to school. The majority of students make lunch at home before they come to school. One part of the Japanese school culture that I was very surprised by was that students are required to clean the classrooms.

 Hey there, my name is Josh Jones, and I am a freshman studying Neuroscience here at Notre Dame. I was born in Long Island, New York, but I live in New Jersey. I love watching movies and anime, and I am really into music and playing sports. I am a Keenan Hall resident(the best men's dorm on campus), and I am glad to be back on campus for the spring semester. I want to learn and become fluent in Japanese because I am really interested in Japanese culture and would love to study abroad in Japan. I watch a lot of anime, which has sparked my love for the language and the culture. I believe that I can become fluent in Japanese because I am good with memorization and learning languages, and I think that with the amount of anime, I watch on a day-to-day basis, I can pick up the language fast. Thanks for reading my blog post 🫡.
