      こんにちは、みなさん。今日、私の出身は少し曇りだ。なんか寂しい感じになった。
      今学期、日本語のクラスの三番をとっている。毎火曜日と毎木曜日に授業へ行く。 先週の木曜日、クラスの中で、日本に行ったことがあるの人が五人ぐらいいました。日本からアメリカに行って、留学生になったの人が一人いた。お名前を忘れましたが、かわいくて、少し静かな人だったと思ったんだ。も一人はアメリカ人だったが、かれの日本語はなんかすてきだったと思ったんだ。「私はもう二十年から日本語を勉強しました」と言った。日本で、英語を日本人に教えたんだが、ジェットプログラムでしていなかった。それから「１９９８年に行っていました」と言った。「それは残炎（ざんえん）！」と思ったんだ。あの時、けいたいを使っていなかったから、私は日本に行って、けいたいのことをどうするていいのかな教えてくれなかった。日本語の友達に聞いて見ようか。

      それから、日本で働くのことを聞いたんだ。「会社員たちの状態（じょうたい）はすごくひどい」と聞いていた。「でも、英語の先生になるするつもりと、あなたは大丈夫だ。先生だから、たいてい日本人は意地悪になっていないでしょう。そして、お金も悪くない」と聞いた。 大丈夫かな？


      Translation! :) Things I've Heard Good afternoon everyone. It's a little cloudy where I am right now. It's kinda sad. This semester I'm taking Japanese III. I go every Tuesday and Thursday.

      Last Thursday in class there were people who have been to Japan before. There was one person who came from Japan as an exchange student. I forgot her name, but she seemed kinda cute and a little quiet. There was another person who was an American, but I thought his Japanese was really good. He said he'd studied Japanese for twenty years. He taught English to the Japanese, but he didn't participate in the JET program. He also went in 1998, which was a little disappointing. At the time, cell phones weren't used, so he couldn't tell me what I should do about cell phones when I go to Japan. I'll see if I can ask my Japanese conversation partner.

      I also heard about working class Japanese citizens. Japanese office workers have it really tough. But if I intend to become an English teacher over there, I should be okay, or so I was told. Japanese people aren't usually mean to teachers. And the money's not bad.
      Will I really be okay? ^^;

      Hey! I was just going to fill out a Contact Form when I stumbled upon the FAQs that had a blog to your link!

      But who cares how I got here.

      I just wanted to say I really like your layout! It's so plain and simple (even if the coding wasn't) :P

      Wow, when I saw that block of Japanese text, I was just like o___o; That's so awesome, you know Japanese! Hopefully I can take that course in a few years :)

      Sounds like a nice plan! Work hard and you'll be fine. The human adapts.

      If you translated it you'd see how rudimentary it is ^^ I still have a long way to go.
      I'm glad you were able to stop by for a visit, and that you like the layout :). I saw on your site that you have some kanji going on ~ likewise, I wish I could understand Chinese!
