Zion's first post

Welcome, everyone, to my Japanese learning blog! My name is Zion Xi, and I am a freshman at Notre Dame studying ACMS. I am from Beijing, China, and I can speak Mandarin Chinese and English. The reason I want to learn Japanese is that I am a huge fan of Japanese literature, and I want to be able to read it in Japanese. I have read the entire collection of Mishima Yukio and Murakami and am deeply drawn to Japanese culture.

    Nice to meet you, Zion!
    I think it's cool being able to read Chinese characters while learning Japanese. How did you get into Mishima Yukio and Murakami's literature, especially Mishima?

 Today, I watched a Japanese interview video, and it was one of my favorite listening experiences so far. このビデオは、にほんごのインタビューです。 The video is an interview with Kazu from Kazu Languages, who is my favorite YouTuber. Kazu さんは日本人 です。 そして、polyglot（多言語話者）です。 Kazu-san can speak 14 languages fluently, and if we include languages that he is not fluent in but still understands a little, the number goes up to around 60 languages. Kazu さんは、いろいろな げんご が わかります。 I watch his videos very often, and I have watched all of his videos.
