Living like a Local

Normally when you study abroad people often ask you how your going to maintain being your true self while growing on aspects that you need academically and usually my answer is that being immersed into the culture and speaking the language.However with me, things are going to be different: speaking with 100% No English whatsoever is the goal I hope to achieve during my time in Japan. Moreover, I believe that too getting involved with the locals (i.e. speaking and interacting with them) are vital to getting acclimated within the culture. Thus with the intent of not speaking any English over there and be within the Kyushu area and travel throughout that region; some parts outside of Kyushu.

In conclusion, I'll be adapting to the culture and becoming akin to a Japanese person as much as possible. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to study abroad this year and am ready prepare for another 日本語 journey!!
