Speak Japanese

I love Manga - Japanese comics - and I tried to learn Japanese,

but I found it incredibly difficult and I gave up after two years.

I think oriental languages, which have symbols instead of

words, are extremely hard to learn for people who are more

used to Roman letters. Also my teacher, a Japanese woman,

didn’t speak Spanish very well, which didn’t help! She was a

very charming woman, but she was a bit disappointed with us,

and you could see that she thought that 7

learn. However, one day she invited us to dinner and gave us

some delicious traditional Japanese food, and since then I often

go to Japanese restaurants. So I learnt to love the food, if not to

speak the language!
