I grew up immersed in Japanese animation and games, which sparked a deep admiration for Japan. In university, I began studying Japanese, and through this learning process, I came to realize that behind this complex language lie layers of social, cultural, and literary significance. Initially, I studied Japanese primarily to understand the texts in anime and games. However, I now seek a deeper understanding of the country and its people, while mastering Japanese as both a skill I can freely use and a key milestone in my personal and professional journey. My ultimate goal is to become a language teacher, helping others who share my passion for Japanese turn their aspirations into reality.
　This exchange program represents an essential step toward that goal. By living and studying in Japan, I hope to further refine my Japanese proficiency, experience Japanese society and culture firsthand, and deepen my understanding of the country while broadening my academic and cultural perspectives. I also plan to study various languages and educational theory during my exchange. Beyond acquiring specialized knowledge, I wish to observe and experience Japan’s approach to foreign language education firsthand, thereby laying a strong foundation for achieving my future objectives.
