I had several jobs in Japan such as medical clerk, office work, saleswoman, and so on. When I entered high school, I immediately started to two part time jobs to make money. At the time, I did not study at all but I tried to have social experiences. After I graduated from high school, I still did not know what I want to do in my life so I started working full time to make money.
Even thought I've had different types of jobs in my career, my best job was a Japanese tutor at community college in the US. I know my language, but teaching was totally different. For instance, I've never thought how to use particles such as wa, ga, wo, and so on in Japanese because native speakers use them without thinking. When I saw students who study Japanese, I realized that the particles are hard to use for non-native speakers. After that, I had to think how to use the particles to explain for them and they noticed me more deeply about Japanese language. From the job, I could meet people from all over the world and I enjoyed interacting them. I am planning to take the Cbest and Cset and I hope I can pass both tests to teach Japanese in the US.
wow!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to learn Japanese XD especially those preposition, such as wa ni wo ga...
and I hope you can pass the tests!!! ganbatte:)))
It is the same in English or for any language. Native speakers talk without thinking about the structure of the language. You have to take some classes to understand the rules, the structure, and the exceptions. Well you have a great goal - to be a Japanese language teacher. Best wishes to your future career!!
