I don't know exactly why I'm fascinated by various languages, but one thing for certain, I like people and everything about them: their ways of thinking, their culture and so on. My mother language is Japanese, and I speak Mandarin Chinese and English. I've just started to study Korean and Cantonese. If I have a chance, I'd like to study Spanish or other languages as well. I know there is nothing harder than mastering foreign languages (because they are developing continuously), but it has been more rewarding than I ever imagined. The more I learn different languages and their background, the more I can widen my perspectives through being exposed to different values. I wish to learn more about not only people's differences, but also how those differences aim at achieving harmony and balance with the world.
