My initial interest in Japanese language and culture was sparked by an article about the genetic study of East Asians and Asians in general which revealed the striking similarity between Tibetans and Japanese. Later, I also discovered the existence of quasi-historical stories or myths-like accounts of ancestral links between the two peoples or regions. Anyway, I decided to learn Japanese because I would like to study Japanese history, specifically, the political and institutional history of Tokugawa Japan and the role of religion in state formation and practices of governance in general. I soon discovered that there isn't much of a similarity between the Tibetan and Japanese language beyond the numbers, but I am still highly excited to learn the language and read Japanese history (I am taking a history course on early modern Japan).

DeleteIt's great that you can かのじょとえいがをみます, highlight of your busy week!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely the highlight of my weeks. Thanks.
DeletePalden! You study too much! I am so happy that you have some free time on the weekends to relax and sometimes watch movies with your girlfriend. As a caring friend, I suggest you do more of that! :P. そしていいさくぶんですよ！
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amelia. I actually don't study that much, but I am always on campus from 9am to 5/6 pm everyday, because I travel an hour for school from Queens. I hang out around campus on less busy days.
Deleteパルデンさん！こんばんは。わたしはダヒです。
ReplyDeleteYou do study a lot! I also agree with Amelia that you have some free time on the weekends to take a break from school work. I hope you don't get tired by your schedule, since we are through the middle of the semester, and it's so easy to get worn out..! I hope you get through this week easily!
じゃ、またあした！
Thank you, Dahee. My schedule is actually less hectic than it sounds, but because I spend almost 2 hours everyday commuting to school, it is tiring sometimes. I envy the undergrads who live on campus.
Deleteパルデンさんのスケジュールはおもしろいですね！「ときどき、かのじょとえいがをみます」はとてもかわいい。 lol
ReplyDeleteありがとう。わたしはえいががすきますから、ときどき、かのじょとえいがをみます。
