I originally studied Linguistics in college, but my curiousity got the better of me and I went on to major in Journalism, Interior Design, and Broadcasting. Today, I work as a translator for English and Filipino broadcast media. Most of my days are filled with watching Netflix or translating episodes of Friends. At the moment, I am studying both Japanese and Spanish. I have been listening to Japanese music ever since I was 13 years old, when I heard Shiina Ringo's voice for the very first time. I promised myself I would learn the language someday, even if I had to do so intermittently. As for Spanish, I recently fell in love with the language and the humor of its speakers while I was watching all these different shows online. Even though the Philippines used to be a colony of Spain, I find Spanish and Latino culture so intriguing and yet slightly familiar. I would love to discover more about their people by way of language.

    Hi, Michael. I'll correct a few things from your post :) Your Filipino is fairly awesome though. Hope this helps. Good luck with studying Filipino!

    "Unang post!!! (anong “post” sa Tagalog ?)"

    "Kumusta kayong lahat? Ako si Michael at ako ay 24 anyos. Ipinanganak ako sa States pero ang magulang ko ay galing sa Ilocos. Ngayon, nakatira kami sa isang bahay malapit sa Chicago. Gusto ko maging magaling mag-Tagalog kasi ibig kong mas makilala ang kultura ng pamilya ko. Nag-aaral ako iba’t ibang wika pero baka pinakahirap matutunan ang Tagalog para sa akin. Gusto ko sana makakilala ng iba pang mga estudyanteng inaaral ang Tagalog at ibang mga tao na makatutulong sa akin. Salamat!"

    Glossary of corrected/added words:

    anyos - "age", colloquial Filipinized version of Spanish años
    ay -
     post-position marker for the subject of a sentence.
    maging - "to become"
    nag-aaral - progressive/gerund form of "to study"
    wika - "language"
    matutunan - "to learn" 
    makakilala - "to meet"
    iba pa - "others" in an emphatic tone.

    また始めます どうも。私はㇼかと申します。よろしくお願いいたします。 今日は、私の場合日本語勉強の経験について話します。 日本語を13年ぐらい勉強してるけど、私JLPTのN4を取られるかどうか知りません。 いつも文法と単語を勉強てる。でもJLPTの試験をみると、「これ絶対無理!」と思います。やっぱり、全ての単語と文法を勉強しても、会話練習を誰にも出来ません。言葉をちゃんと口からでなかったら、多分話せません。 それでも、日本語を勉強していて、頑張ってます。いつか椎名林檎とかミスチルのコンサートを見に行くつもりから、最後まで頑張ります。
